Synchrotron X-ray power diffraction data of the pristine azafullerene solid collected at room temperature point to a monoclinic crystal structure (C2/m, a = 17.25 angstrom, b = 9.96 angstrom, c = 19.44 angstrom, beta = 124.3 degrees) comprising dimeric molecular, (C59N)2, units. The molecules show substantial disorder and are aligned with their principal center-to-center molecular axis inclined at an angle of ~ 1.5 degrees from the c-axis of the unit cell.
