Abstract
Strain displacements of carbon atoms in a N-60 molecule in the Pnnm phase o f the RbC60 fulleride are first determined by X-ray diffraction. The measur ements show that the polymeric bond length between carbon atoms of two near est molecules C-60 is equal to 1.69(1) Angstrom, the rotation angle of the molecule about the polymeric direction is 47.0(3)degrees.
