Abstract
Equilibrium phase diagram (T=0–1000 K; p=0–8 GPa) of pressure‐temperature polymerized C60 has been constructed. It included rhombohedral; orthorhombic and tetragonal polymerized phases of C60 along with fcc monomeric phases of C60. The isothermal kinetics of depolymerization (T=373–513 K) of the O‐, R‐, T‐ and D‐phases was studied by means of the IR‐spectroscopy. The isothermal rate of decomposition goes up along the series: (T‐)<(O‐)<(R‐)<(D‐).
