C<sub>60</sub> crystals containing C<sub>70</sub> at various dopant levels, from 0 to 10%, have been grown via the novel method of 'solvent dilution'. Their crystallographic structures were examined with X-ray diffractometry, and their order-disorder phase transitions with differential scanning calorimetry. An extra HCP lattice structure was clearly seen in more highly doped C<sub>60</sub>. On the other hand, both the phase transition temperature and the heat of transition decreased with rising C<sub>70</sub> concentration. This suppression of the order-disorder transition may be explained by a weakening of the correlation among C<sub>60</sub> molecules due to their dilution by the dopant.
