Thermal Stability of C60 and C70 Fullerites

High Temperature volume 59, pages 179–183 (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

The thermal properties of C60 and C70 fullerenes and fullerites have been studied by X-ray structural analysis and UV spectroscopy. It was shown that C70 fullerite is stabler than C60 fullerite (by ~150°C) due to the different geometry of the fullerenes and stronger intermolecular interactions. The experimental results are given a qualitative and quantitative interpretation based on the calculation of the interaction energy between two fullerene molecules.
