  The electron--phonon coupling in fullerene C28 has been calculated from first
principles. The value of the associated coupling constant lambda/N(0) is found
to be a factor three larger than that associated with C60. Assuming similar
values of the density of levels at the Fermi surface N(0) and of the Coulomb
pseudopotential for C28-based solids as those associated with alkali-doped
fullerides A3C60, one obtains Tc(C28) \approx 8 Tc(C60).
