A systematic study is performed for the Co content-dependent structure evolution and electrical properties in the cobalt(Co)-fullerene(C$$_{60}$$) mixtures in the broad content region. Raman analysis confirms that the mixture has a saturation composition of Co$$_{5}$$C$$_{60}$$ for the compoundformation. An important role of the covalent Co-C bonds for the characteristic structure and the properties in the Co-C$$_{60}$$ compounds is concluded from the content-dependent peak shifts and the symmetry lowering of C$$_{60}$$. The Co-dilute mixtures exhibit a semiconductive nature represented bythe activated transport from the shallow mid-gap states. The Co-dense mixtures are characterized by hopping conduction (including variable rangehopping) attributed to the Co clusters/nanoparticles in the compound matrix and by the percolated metallic conduction, depending on the Co content.
