Investigations in the field of higher
fullerenes
Abstract
Halogenation of higher
fullerene mixtures or their perfluoroalkylation with RFI followed by
HPLC separation of RF derivatives and subsequent synchrotron X-ray
crystallographic study allowed one to confirm cage connectivities of higher
fullerenes and, in addition, to receive information concerning their reactivity
in radical addition reactions. The data obtained are compared with theoretical
predictions for higher fullerenes. Addition patterns of higher fullerene
derivatives are discussed. Skeletal rearrangement of D2–C76
cage during chlorination has been observed for the first time.
