Steady-state and time-resolved EPR spectroscopy of UV-irradiated C{sub 60}-methylcyclohexane solutions reveal evidence of a dynamic Jahn-Teller effect in triplet C{sub 60} in this paper. This is attributed to a very rapid interchange of the magnetic axes by pseudorotation. This is supported by other spectra of methylcyclohexane glasses and the different behavior of C{sub 70}. 14 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
