We discuss the measured partial width of the pseudoscalar charmonium state, ηc , into two photons. Predictions from potential models are examined and compared with experimental values. Including radiative corrections, it is found that present measurements are compatible both with a QCD type potential and with a static Coulomb potential, with αs evaluated at two loops. Results are also compared with those from J/ψ data through the NRQCD model.
