The properties of ultra-thin fullerene layers, located between graphite plains, have been studied using the molecular dynamics (MD) technique. In this ensemble we have a competition between the energetic gain from the molecule-molecule versus molecule-graphite wall interactions. It appears that the confined fullerenes form the ultra-lubricated system. The mean square displacement, velocity autocorrelation function and radial distribution function of fullerene molecules have been calculated for several temperatures and a range of distances between graphite walls.
