Abstract
The preparation and unit cell parameters of a novel fullerene-containing compound, (C ₆₀) ₆S $_\cdot$ C ₂HCl ₃, is described. The compound is orthorhombic with a = 10.512(6) Å, b = 21.072(26) Å and c = 38.985(50) Å. The UV-VIS-NIR-IR spectra of the compound are analysed. It is concluded that the new sulfur-fullerite is true van der Walls solid without strong interactions between the constituent molecules.
