The electronic structure of the lowest excited triplet states of C60 and C70 are characterized by a magnetic interaction between the unpaired electrons for which the zero-field-splitting parameter D is negative for the former and positive for the latter molecule. The sign of D has so far been qualitatively understood, and its magnitude has been found to critically depend on the degree of delocalization of the singly occupied molecular orbitals. In this contribution, the effect of spin polarization to the zero-field-splitting parameters of the fullerenes is evaluated, the inclusion of which results in quantitative agreement between the experimental and calculated D values. The direct spin−spin contribution is found to be dominant for both molecules. For C60, a significant contribution of 20% of the total zero-field splitting has been found to derive from spin polarization. The physical reason for the sign difference of D for C60 and C70 is traced back to the relative phases of the local pz orbitals of adja...
