Abstract
AbstractThe supramolecular adduct C60·5C6H5OH was obtained as single crystals by the slow hydrolysis of a solution of C60 in triphenylphosphite. The crystal structure was determined with atomic resolution by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction [triclinic, space group P$\tilde {1}$, a = 1003.52(14) pm, b = 1011.71(14) pm, c = 1264.17(17) pm, α = 88.566(2) °, β = 84.026(2) °, γ = 83.485(2) °, V = 1.2681(3) nm3, Z = 1]. The overall structure can be described as a distorted square packing pattern of hydrogen‐bonded and π‐π interacting rods,1∞[C60(C6H5OH)4]. The fullerene molecules are fully ordered and the C–C bond lengths exhibit remarkably small variations within the 6:6 and 6:5 subsets. The results are discussed in the context of an analysis of reliable crystal structure data for several different fullerene co‐crystal compounds. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
