The FT-IR spectra of C76, C78 and C84 fullerenes were recorded in the temperature range comprised
between -180°C and +250°C. The purpose of the work is to provide reference infrared spectra for
searching higher fullerene homologues in space after the recent and successful discovery of C60 and
C70 in a series of different astrophysical objects.
