Fullerene microcrystals under pressure

2008
Abstract
Solid buckminsterfullerene (C60) is known to be very soft, with a large number of crystalline phases that can be accessed by temperature or pressure. External pressure reduces the intermolecular distance, which affects the electronic structure in three ways: by increasing the overlap between molecular orbitals on neighbor molecules, by inducing additional chemical bonds between molecules, and by deforming the molecular
