Three-dimensional fcc C60 polymer

A face-centered cubic (fcc) polymerized C60 phase has been synthesized at 9.5 GPa and 550 °C. The observed short lattice constant, 13.19 Å, indicates that a three-dimensional (3D) polymer with adjacent C60 molecules covalently bonded was obtained. Possible polymerized structures, with each molecule...
