Question:

There has been some interest in the alkali metal fullerides, MnC60(s), because at low temperatures, some of these compounds become superconducting. The alkali metal fullerides are ionic crystals comprising M+ ions and C60n− ions. The value of n can be deduced from the crystal structure. If MnC60 consists of a cubic closest packed array of fulleride ions, with M+ ions occupying all the octahedral and tetrahedral holes in the fulleride lattice, then what is the value of n and what is the empirical formula of the fulleride?
