Infrared spectra of one- and two-dimensional fullerene polymer structures:RbC60and rhombohedralC60

Abstract
We compare the infrared spectra of two types of fullerene polymers: the linear-chain RbC60 and the two-dimensional pressure-polymerized rhombohedral C60. Both the splitting of the F1u modes and the structure of newly activated lines are in agreement with fully ordered structures of molecular symmetry D2h and D3d, respectively.
