High resolution {sup 13}C NMR experiments prove the existence of sp{sup 3} carbon atoms which are assigned to the dimer bonds in the quenched phase of RbC{sub 60}. The relative intensities of the sp{sup 3} lines support a model where the C{sub 60} monomers are connected via a single bond. Spin-lattice relaxation measurements and {sup 13}C spectral changes reveal the transition to the polymer phase above 200 K. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
