The author previously showed that the nonadiabatic electron-intramolecular-vibration (e-mv) couplings can be mapped to Suhl-Kondo pair transfer interaction in multiband systems. Here, the author shows that the nonadiabatic coupling is large in the doped C{sub 60}. The author has studied the Jahn-Teller effects of C{sub 60}{sup {minus}} and also estimated the e-mv coupling constants with quantum chemical calculations of this anion. The adiabatic and nonadiabatic couplings are both large for the highest H{sub g} mode. The values of nonadiabatic coupling constants are as large as the adiabatic coupling constants. The author also found that the nonadiabatic effect is large in a class of Jahn-Teller systems where the Jahn-Teller splitting energy is comparable to the phonon energy like C{sub 60}{sup n{minus}}. As a results, it is concluded that the nonadiabatic e-mv coupling is important for the mechanism of superconductivity in the doped fullerene as well as the adiabatic e-mv coupling.
