X-ray-diffraction studies are described for a new phase of carbon called collapsed fullerite (CF) that was produced by application of high pressure to fullerite (C[sub 60]). At [similar to]20 GPa there is an irreversible transition to a phase that has neither the (111) Bragg peak of diamond nor any of the Bragg peaks associated with the fcc phase of C[sub 60]. The spectrum of CF is flat and featureless in the range of study.
