摘要: Crystals of C60 or C70 cocrystallized with n-pentane grow as elongated, ten-sided columns. X-ray diffraction shows ordering molecules along the column and a remarkable tenfold symmetry normal to column. The ratio x-ray-diffraction vectors two lowest-order spots is nearly equal “golden ratio,” τ. Despite these similarities decagonal, quasicrystalline order, indicates crystalline order twinned unit cell.
