Abstract

The crystal structure of buckminsterfullerene C₆₀ (depicted on the right) determined below 249 K shows a temperature‐dependent twofold orientational disorder of the molecules with ΔH = 1.06(5) kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS = 0.0(4) J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. In agreement with the small energy difference, the intermolecular contacts are found to be very similar for both molecular orientations. The CC bond lengths are 1.450(3) and 1.387(3) Å. (Figure Presented.)
