A simple model based on atom-atom potential has been used to calculate vari
ous bulk, structural and thermodynamic properties of pure C-60 solid by inc
luding implicit anharmonicity. The pressure and temperature dependent prope
rties such as bulk modulus, lattice and orientational structure, thermal ex
pansion, phonon frequency shift, Gruneisen parameters, heat capacity and en
tropy have been calculated and compared with available data. Though results
for some of these properties have been calculated earlier, using improved
potential models to suit C-60 solid, this paper ascertains the extent of va
lidity of a potential used successfully in the past explaining the observed
properties of aromatic hydrocarbons. The same potential used without modif
ication does reproduce, barring orientational absolute minimum configuratio
n, broadly all the other calculated properties to similar degree of accurac
y. It thus provides a platform to include additional terms for interpreting
properties of doped C-60 solids and polymerized C-60 systems.
