Abstract
Fullerite with the bulk formula Ar x C60, where 0.60 < x < 0.75, was synthesized by precipitation from a mixture of argon-saturated solutions. The fcc unit cell parameter in the sample was 1.422 nm; the orientational phase transition (OPT) temperature was 247 K. These values noticeably differ from the relevant parameters of undoped fullerite (1.416 nm and 260 K, respectively). Heating accompanied by argon evolution restores the fullerite C60 structure.
