Abstract
dc.description.abstract
The UV absorption spectrum of C60 in n-hexane solvent has been revised by means of numerical analysis
and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The absorption spectrum in the range 3–7 eV has
been fitted by a spectral function that includes fourteen transitions with Gaussian lineshape, providing
reference transition energies and intensities. The agreement between the experimental and theoretical
UV absorption intensities has been considerably improved with respect to previous calculations, by
including the solvent dielectric response via the polarizable continuum model (PCM).
