The brightest one: Substitution of 12 C by 13 C in C 70 leads to major changes in its delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence properties (see graphs). This new isotope effect decreases the internal conversion and T 1 →S 0 intersystem crossing rates by a mass effect, and increases the S 1 ←T 1 intersystem crossing rate by a nuclear magnetic effect. It is also shown that 13 C 70 is by far the brightest fullerene known.
