Electrodynamical Forbiddance of the Strong Quadrupole Light-Molecule Interaction and Its Experimental Manifestation in Fullerene C60

Abstract
It is demonstrated that the forbidden lines, which must be present in the SERS, TERS and SEIRA spectra of molecules with sufficiently high symmetry, associated with a strong quadrupole light-molecule interaction, are absent in the fullerene C60. This result is an experimental manifestation of an electrodynamical forbiddance of the strong quadrupole light-molecule interaction, which must be not only in molecules with cubic symmetry groups, but in the fullerene C60 also.
