We report on 13C NMR measurements on potassium intercalated C60 compounds. By using high resolution NMR technique we were able to char­acterize the different thermodynamically stable phases. The effects of the intercalation on the molecular dynamics as well as on the electronic proper­ties will be discussed. We also performed the magnetic susceptibility mea­surements on Rb4C60 compound, which reveal the activation temperature behavior with the activation energy about 1200 K. By comparison with the NMR and ESR data of the same sample we conclude that the additional electrons are localized on the C60 molecule and form the spin singlet ground state.
