Low-temperature optical studies of C60-cubane rotor-stator compound

• We present here low-temperature Raman and photoluminescence spectra of the C60-cubane rotor-stator compound. We show the continuous evolution of Raman spectra between 77 K and room temperature, with no sharp transition visible at 140 K, the orientational ordering temperature. Low-temperature luminescence spectra of C60 in C60-cubane compound are found to be shifted and better resolved then spectra for pristine C60 at the corresponding temperatures, showing relatively weaker intermolecular interactions. In fact, the solid-state luminescence of C60-cubane is similar to free-molecule C60 luminescence spectra.
