Dissociation energy of 3D-polymeric C60 : Calorimetric study and structural analysis

• Annealing of 2D- and 3D-polymeric C[sub60] fullerene obtained under pressures of 9.5 and 12.5 GPa and temperatures of 670 and 770 K has been investigated by DSC in the range 240–640 K. An endothermal heat effect was observed with a peak maximum just below 540 K, a temperature characteristic for breakdown of (2+2) intermolecular links in dimers, 1D and 2D polymers. Exothermal effects, starting from 380 K, were observed for the first time in polymeric fullerenes. These effects are attributed to relaxation processes and to breakdown of other types of intermolecular bonds such as common four-sided rings and (3+3) interlinks.
