High-pressure Raman studies have been carried out on single crystalline C60(Fc)2 nanosheets up to 25.4 GPa. Our results show that the charge transfer between Fc (ferrocene) and C60 increases in the low-pressure range. Above 5 GPa, C60 molecules start to form a chainlike polymer structure, and this polymerization is reversible upon decompression, in contrast to that of pristine C60. The special layered structure of C60(Fc)2 restricts the polymerization of C60 molecules in some directions and explains the formation of the linear chainlike polymeric structure of the C60 lattice under pressure. We suggest that the reversible polymerization is related to the increased charge transfer and the overridden steric repulsion of counterions.
