13C Magic-Angle-Spinning NMR Study of the Electronic Properties of theAC60Polymers(A=K,Rb,Cs)

Abstract
Very high speed magic angle spinning (MAS) allows one to resolve the 13C NMR spectra of the polymer phases AC60.Spinlatticerelaxation(T1)dataandTdependencesofthespinshifts(forRbC60)allowustoresolvethesignalofthebondingsties,whichhasallthefeaturesexpectedforsp3 bonding. From spectral intensity analysis it is concluded that the distribution of spin densities is influenced by the ordering of the chains in the crystal. It differs markedly in KC60 from that found in the Rb and Cs polymers. The incidence of the electronic structure on the dimensionality of the magnetic properties of these systems is discussed.
