We have measured the four IR-active C[sub 60] molecular vibrations in [ital M][sub [ital x]]C[sub 60] ([ital M]= K,Rb) as a function of doping [ital x]. We observe discontinuous changes in the vibrational spectra showing four distinct phases (presumably [ital x]=0,3,4, and 6). The 1427-cm[sup [minus]1] and 576-cm[sup [minus]1] modes show the largest changes shifting downward in frequency in four steps as the doping increases. Several very weak modes are visible in the [ital x]=6 phase and are possibly Raman modes becoming weakly optically active. We present quantitative fits of data and calculate the electron-phonon coupling of the 1427-cm[sup [minus]1] IR mode.
