Abstract

Isolated spin doublets and not quartets are identified by EPR spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometer measurements in the title compound, the first well-characterized molecular complex with C60 trianions. As shown in the X-ray structure (see picture for a section), the fullerene trianions are ordered and stacked in a slightly distorted hexagonal primitive arrangement; the distances between the spherical fullerenes and also some of the K-C bond lengths are surprisingly short.
