Investigations of crystal structure, infrared spectra and electron spin res
onance of the complex of the fullerene C-60 with chloro(triphenylophosphine
)gold have been performed. It was stated that the C-60. 2[(Ph3P)AuCl] compl
ex is a molecular crystal in which van der Waals interactions are predomina
nt. The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum was discussed and explained.
A phase transition at about 195-200 K was suggested. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sci
