โฆ Synopsis
The phase transitions from an fee to an orthorhombic structure were studied in detail for the AC,, compounds.
For moderately fast cooling (10 K min-', continuously) RbC, and K& gave an overall identical spectra. In the frequency range of the former A,(2) pinch mode two components were detected. There origin could be explained assuming a Davidov splitting or by modes which become Raman active in the orthorhombic structure. Quenching and annealing experiments carried out with the RbC, fee high temperature phase showed significant changes in the spectrum which were interpreted as the Raman response of a metastable monomer and a single-bonded dimer phase.

The high symmetry of the C6,, molecule and the symmetry of the cubic lattice site in solid ChO imply that in addition to the known orientational phase transition at 250 K, there is a sequence of transitions at lower T. These transitions correspond to a successive freezing of orientational degrees of
Raman spectra of C60 single crystals, in the pentagon pinch mode frequency region, have been measured as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 7.2 GPa at room temperature. The softening of the Ag(2) and Hg(8) modes in the pressure region up to 0.4 GPa indicate the orientational ordering phase tra
