Iv. Arkhangel'Skii et al., Fullerite C-60 clathrates with some n-hydrocarbons as possible precursors for a hexagonal close-packed phase, RUSS J IN C, 46(8), 2001, pp. 1121-1123
A series of fullerite C-60 clathrates with n-hydrocarbons (pentane to nonan
e) were synthesized. A hexagonal close-packed fullerite C-60 phase was obta
ined as a result of thermal treatment of the n-hexane clathrate only. The o
ther clathrates from this series are transformed into a distorted face-cent
ered phase.
