The great advantage of the C-60 molecule is its potential for polymerization, due to which the molecule can be the building block of new all carbon materials. In addition, it contains, both sp (2) and sp (3) hybridized carbon atoms, which allows synthesizing new carbon materials with desired physicochemical properties using both types of carbon bonding. The one- and two-dimensional polymeric phases of C-60 are prototype materials of this sort. Their properties, especially polymerization under pressure and room temperature via covalent bonding between molecules belonging to adjacent polymeric chains or polymeric layers, can be used for further development of new materials. The present review focuses on the study of the pressure-induced polymerization and thermodynamic stability of these materials and their recovered new phases by in-situ high-pressure Raman and X-ray diffraction studies. The phonon spectra show that the fullerene molecular cage in the high-pressure phases is preserved, while these polymers decompose under heat treatment into the initial fullerene C-60 monomer.
