Y. Iwasa et al., STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF PRESSURE-INDUCED C-70 POLYMERS, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 64(3), 1997, pp. 251-256
We report synthesis of polymerized C-70 by high pressure treatment at
high temperature. Evidence for crosslinking is presented on the basis
of X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared absorption, ultraviolet-visible
absorption spectra. As was observed in C-60 polymers, C-70 ''polymer'
' is not soluble in toluene, and revert to conventional monomer crysta
ls by heating to 300 degrees C at ambient pressure.
