Thermodynamic properties of C-60 and C-70 fullerenes

The most reliable values of the main thermodynamic parameters of C-60 and C -70 fullerenes are recommended based on analysis of published data and auth or's calculations. These parameters include enthalpies of formation in the solid and gaseous states, saturated vapour pressures, enthalpies of sublima tion, enthalpies of phase transition, heat capacity, entropy in the condens ed state, and heat capacity and entropy in the ideal gas state. The factors influencing the results of thermodynamic studies of fullerenes are discuss ed. Problems of crystal structure determination, PVT dependences and freque ncies of normal modes of C-60 and C-70 fullerenes are considered, in order to interpret and correlate the data and to extend them to a wide temperatur e range.
