The Raman spectra of crystals of C{sub 60} fullerene-cadmium diethyldithiocarbamate molecular donor-acceptor complexes (Cd(dedtc){sub 2}){sub 2} · C{sub 60} were measured at pressures of up to 17 GPa, and the crystal lattice parameters of these complexes were determined at pressures of up to 6 GPa. An increase in pressure up to ∼2 GPa leads to changes in the Raman spectra, which are manifested by splitting of the intramolecular H{sub g}(1)-H{sub g}(8) phonon modes and by softening of the A{sub g}(2) mode of the C{sub 60} molecule. A further increase in pressure up to 17 GPa does not induce significant new changes to the Raman spectra, while a decrease is accompanied by the reverse transformation at a pressure of about 2 GPa. The pressure dependence of the lattice parameters also exhibits a reversible feature at 2 GPa related to a jumplike decrease in compressibility. All these data are indicative of a phase transition in the vicinity of 2 GPa related to the formation of covalent bonds between C{sub 60} molecules and, probably, the appearance of C{sub 120} dimers in fullerene layers. It was also found that, in the pressure interval from 2 to 6.3 GPa, the Raman spectra of complexes exhibit photoinduced transformations under prolonged exposure to laser radiation with a wavelength of λ = 532 nm and power density up to 5000 W/cm{sup 2}. These changes are manifested by splitting and softening of the A{sub g}(2) mode and resemble analogous changes accompanying the photopolymerization of C{sub 60} fullerene. The intensity of new bands exhibits exponential growth with increasing exposure time. The photopolymer yield depends on both the laser radiation power and external pressure. The A{sub g}(2) mode splitting under irradiation can be related to the formation of photo-oligomers with various numbers of intermolecular covalent bonds per C{sub 60} molecule.
