The formation, electronic structure, stability, and reactivity of both the reduced and the oxidized C{sub 60} fullerene molecules are of intense current interest. Triplet-state ESR spectra have been observed for reduced C{sub 60} produced by electrochemical and photochemical methods. ESR spectra of S = 1/2 radicals have been reported for C{sub 60} dissolved in concentrated and fuming sulfuric acids and in Magic Acid. We now report the observation of triplet-state ESR for C{sub 60} chemically oxidized in fuming sulfuric acid. 19 refs., 2 figs.
