Abstract TDPAD spectroscopy measurements have been performed on two fullerene samples, C60 and C70, with recoil implanted 19F ions as probe nuclei. Quadrupole coupling frequencies of νQ= 54(1) MHz for C60 and νQ= 57(1) MHz for C70 were observed. These frequencies are associated with a C–F molecular complex formation. The C70 sample was also examined for possible effects due to variation of temperature. No significant changes were observed. An additional frequency of νQ= 13(1) MHz registered for both samples has to be attributed to the formation of H–F complexes. Finally, both samples were analysed for proton dose dependent effects, due to the (p,p'γ) implantation process but no effects have shown up. Specifically, computational studies based on quantum chemical methods were performed to assist in the interpretation of the experimental results, using the code MOPAC.
