It is demonstrated that in fullerene C70 which can be considered as a deformed fullerene C60 in some sense there is a withdrawal of an electrodynamical forbiddance of a strong quadrupole light-molecule interaction which is realized in the fullerene C60. This situation occurs because of the reduction of symmetry of C60 from the icosahedral symmetry group Yh to the group D5h. The withdrawal results in appearance of the lines in the SERS spectra of C70 which are forbidden in usual Raman scattering and are allowed in infrared absorption while such lines are forbidden in the SERS spectrum of the fullerene C60 due to the electrodynamical forbiddance. The measured SERS spectra of C70 demonstrates existence of such lines that strongly confirms our ideas about the dipole quadrupole SERS mechanism.
