Description

The new fullerite C-60PΦ4+.(ClPΦ4)2 was investigated by EPR and static susceptibility. Charge transfer from PΦ4 to C60 was found to be incomplete. C-60PΦ4+ separates into a system of localized and delocalized spins at higher temperatures. At 40 K an Anderson-type localization occurs. The low-temperature susceptibility is shown to be a mixture of a Curie susceptibility and a contribution that resembles the behaviour of a spin singlet with an activated low-lying triplet state. The EPR linewidth below 40 K is only about 400 mG. (orig.)
