The vibrational spectrum of C[sub 70] has been measured by inelastic neutron scattering at 20K. It closely resembles the spectrum of C[sub 60] extending smoothly from 26 to 195 meV and reflecting the close bonding similarities between the two hollow carbon cages. Satisfactory agreement with a QCFF/PI model of the C[sub 70] vibrations is found. 10 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
