Effects of pressure on the thermodynamic properties of C₆₀ studied by ¹³C NMR

In fullerenes, the dynamics, molecular motion, and order‐disorder transition temperature T_c are strongly affected by the applied pressure. In this study, single‐crystal ¹³C NMR spectroscopy is used to study fullerenes under hydrostatic pressure as a function of temperature (200–343 K). Information is obtained on the thermodynamic properties of these materials, their phase behavior and their molecular dynamics.
