Abstract
Phase transition in C-60-dimethoxymethane and C-60-1-bromobutane clath rates were studied by X-ray powder diffraction. Both clathrates show p hase transitions corresponding to orientational ordering. Although the two high temperature structures have very similar orthorhombic lattic e the phase transitions take place in different ways. In the C-60-dime thoxymethane sample there is no symmetry change while in the C-60-1-br omobutane an orthorhombic to monoclinic transformation of the lattice can be observed.
