摘要
It is shown that C-60 Single crystals can be polymerized under relatively modest pressure-temperature conditions. The resulting single crystals exhibit long-range order and they are made up of 12 orientation variants. The structure is orthorhombic with a short intermolecular distance along the chains (9.14 Angstrom), characteristic of covalent bonding. We propose a structural mechanism for the polymerization of fullerene-based compounds; it involves a shift of one of the (111) cubic planes together with a shortening of the (111) spacing. The configuration of the polymer chains presents interesting relations with that found in the A(1)C(60) polymer compounds.
