Infrared spectroscopy on the rotor–stator compounds C 60 –C 8 H 8 and C 70 –C 8 H 8 under pressure
Abstract Pressure‐dependent infrared transmittance measurements on C 60 –C 8 H 8 and C 70 –C 8 H 8 were performed at room temperature for pressures up to 10 GPa. The pressure dependence of the vibrational modes suggest the occurrence of orientational ordering transitions induced at 0.5 GPa and 0.8 G...
