Abstract

We report for the first time direct intercalation of C₆₀ into graphite. In this new carbon solid, the two dimensional layers of C ₆₀, stacked between every graphite layers (stage 1), showed long range ordering with average separation of 1.27 nm between C₆₀ layers as evident from transmission electron microscopy. An up-shift of Graphite Raman E_2g2 mode and down-shift of fullerenes Raman A_g2 pentagonal pinch mode was observed due to charge transfer from graphite to C₆₀.
