Abstract

Infrared transmission, electron spin resonance, and x-ray diffraction measurements show unambiguously that RbC₆₀ and KC₆₀ are stable in air, in contrast to Rb₆C₆₀ which decomposes rapidly upon exposure. The specimens studied transform to pure C₆₀ and other by-products when heated above 100°C, approximately the temperature of the orthorhombic-fcc phase transition. The stability of these compounds raises the possibility of applying them as protective layers for the superconducting fullerides.
