Evidence for Insulating Behavior in the Electric Conduction of   (NH$_3$)K$_3$C$_{60}$ Systems
  Microwave study using cavity perturbation technique revealed that the conductivity of antiferromagnet (NH$_3$)K$_{3-x}$Rb$_x$C$_{60}$ at 200K is already 3-4 orders of magnitude smaller than those of superconductors, K$_3$C$_{60}$ and (NH$_3$)$_x$NaRb$_2$C$_{60}$, and that the antiferromagnetic compounds are {\it insulators} below 250K without metal-insulator transitions. The striking difference in the magnitude of the conductivity between these materials strongly suggests that the Mott-Hubbard transition in the ammoniated alkali fullerides is driven by a reduction of lattice symmetry from face-centered-cubic to face-centered-orthorhombic, rather than by the magnetic ordering.
