This paper reviews the properties and phases of fullerenes and their derivatives and
compounds under high pressures. For obvious reasons most of the paper deals with C60 …

Carbon structures with covalent bonds connecting C60 molecules have been reported,–, but
their production methods typically result in very small amounts of sample, which restrict the …

Fullerenes, in particular C 60, can form covalent intermolecular bonds (“polymerize”) when
treated at high temperature under high pressure. This contribution briefly reviews some …

We discuss the room-temperature infrared and Raman spectra for the pressure-induced
rhombohedral, tetragonal, orthorhombic C 60 polymers and the C 60 photopolymer. The …

Comparative studies of the infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of the orthorhombic, tetragonal,
and rhombohedral pressure-polymerized phases of C 60 as well as the pressure-dimerized …

Structural phase transitions of C 60 under high-pressure and high-temperature are
presented in a concise overview extracted from updated literature. Primarily focused on …

Polymeric forms of C60 are now well known, but numerous attempts to obtain C70 in a
polymeric state have yielded only dimers. Polymeric C70 has now been synthesized by …

A number of metastable ordered and disordered carbon phases have been prepared from
fullerite C 60 by heating to different temperatures at 12.5 GPa and subsequent quenching to …

A [2+ 2] cycloaddition cap-to-cap C70 dimer with C 2 h molecular symmetry was synthesized
in high yield by pressure treatment of polycrystalline C70 at 1 GPa and 200° C. It was …

Conducting nanowires parallel to each other, embedded in fullerene matrix are synthesized
by high energy heavy ion irradiation of thin fullerene film at low fluence (up to 5× 10 11 …
