Abstract

The structure and electron properties of Na n C60 (n = 2, 3) sodium fullerides synthesized from simple compounds in toluene were studied. It was shown that Na2C60 fulleride forms a face-centered cubic lattice at temperatures above 300 K. As the temperature is lowered, the phase transition to a structure with a simple cubic lattice takes place. The temperature dependences of the properties of Na3C60 with a more complex structure exhibit features that are presumably due to sodium atom redistribution in the Na3C60 fulleride lattice and the formation of sodium ion clusters.
