For a size ratio of 0.400 and 0.3055 I found a binary with a AB6 body-centred-cubic structure similar to that seen in the interstitial buckmasterfullerene compound C60K6.

The images below were taken from samples containing particles with radii 324.7nm and 130nm and hence have a size ratio of 0.400.
