Recently we proposed a microscopic mechanism for alkali‐metal doped Fulleride superconductivity. The aim of the current study is to compare and contrast such Fulleride superconductivity with that of high T c cuprates. We focused earlier on “topological” superconductivity in the Fulleride case and so it seemed natural to make contact with the resonating valence bond treatment of Anderson et al. for the high T c cuprates. Finally, some experimental points of contact involve the product of electrical resistivity and nuclear spin lattice relaxation times in the normal state of both classes of superconductors considered here. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
