Abstract: C₂-C₉₆(176)(CF₃)₁₈ was isolated by HPLC from the trifluoromethylation products of a mixture of C₉₄ and C₉₆ fullerenes and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The trifluoromethylation pattern is characterized by the additions in edge-sharing para C₆(CF₃)₂ hexagons and the presence of stabilizing benzenoid rings and isolated C=C bonds on the fullerene cage.
