Knudsen effusion mass spectrometric measurements of vapors in equilibrium with a polycrystalline mixture of C{sub 60} and C{sub 70} were carried out over the temperature range 640-800 K. From the second-law method, average values obtained for the heats of sublimation of C{sub 60} and C{sub 70} from a polycrystalline C{sub 60} matrix were found to be respectively 40.1 {plus minus} 1.3 and 43.0 {plus minus} 2.2 kcal mol{sup {minus}1}, at the average temperatures 707 and 739 K. It was also noted that it was necessary to heat treat the samples at temperatures of at least 170 C for greater than 12 h to achieve stable vaporization. This was consistent with the sample becoming more crystalline.
