TL;DR: In this article, a first-order phase transition from a low-temperature simple-cubic structure with a four-molecule basis to a face-centered-cUBIC structure at 249 K was shown.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that photooxidation of C{sub 60} in benzene furnishes a single monooxide, C{ sub 60}O, as the sole isolable product.

TL;DR: In this article, X-ray diffraction studies of the structure and bonding in alkali-metal-doped solid C60 (fullerite) have been conducted and it has been shown that the face-centred cubic lattice of pure C60 transforms to body-centered cubic at these doping levels, with a saturation composition close to M6C60.

TL;DR: Room-temperature powder x-ray diffraction profiles have been obtained at hydrostatic pressures P = 0 and 1.2 gigapascals on the solid phase of cubic C60 ("fullerite") and the linear compressibility is the same as the interlayer compressibility of hexagonal graphite, consistent with van der Waals intermolecular bonding.

TL;DR: The high-temperature structure of solvent-free C70 has been determined with high-resolution x-ray powder difraction and electron microscopy, and the cubic phase contains an appreciable density of stacking faults along the [111] direction.
