Abstract

Cocrystallization of C60 and biphenyl affords neutral mixed single crystals, which present close compact arrays of C60 molecules and vacant sites. Intercalation with potassium at low temperature (80 °C) affords a new, ternary, fulleride salt. Additionally, a simple model has been developed to describe the kinetics of intercalation.
