Description
Fullerenes, the carbon molecules with 60 and 70 atoms, were recently
detected in a series of planetary nebulae, in protoplanetary nebulae and
in other astrophysical objects. The detection and the quantitative
determination of these molecules was made possible by the measurement of
their reference infrared spectra and the relative molar extinction
coefficients and integrated molar absorptivity on laboratory scale. It
is expected that also fulleranes the hydrogenated derivatives of C60 and
C70 may be present in the same objects where fullerenes were detected.
This prompted us to synthesize the hydrogenated fullerenes, to record
their infrared spectra and the measure the molar extinction coefficients
and integrated molar absorptivity on laboratory scale to have a
reference in the search of these fullerene derivatives in space
