STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF CRYSTALLINE C60·n-PENTANE CLATHRATE

Abstract

Clathrate type single crystals with the composition of C ₆₀(n- C ₅ H ₁₂)_0.88( C ₇ H ₈)_0.05 were grown from C ₆₀-toluene-petroleum ether solution. The structure of the crystals, determined by X-ray diffraction is b-face centered orthorhombic. A phase transition is observed at 190 K by differential scanning calorimetry.
