It is shown that the valency electrons in rapidly rotating C_{60} molecules acquire an Aharonov-Carmi (A-C) phase shift, which is proportional to the molecular angular velocity flux enclosed by the matter wave of valency electrons on the C_{60} molecular shell. The energy shift of the valency electrons due to both the molecular rapid rotation and the molecular A-C phase shift is calculated.
The rapidly rotational motion of C$_{60}$ molecules provides us with an ingenious way to test Mashhoon's spin-rotation coupling. The spin-rotation coupling of electrons in the rotating C$_{60}$ molecule is considered in the present letter. It is shown that the intrinsic spin (gravitomagnetic moment) of the electron that can be coupled to the time-dependent rotating frequency of rotating frame of reference (C$_{60}$ molecule) results in a geometric phase, which may be measured through the electronic energy spectra of C$_{60}$ molecules.
