Abstract: Chlorofullerenes C₈₆(16)Cl₁₆ and C₈₆(17)Cl_18,20 were prepared by chlorination of C_s-C₈₆(16) and C₂-C₈₆(17), respectively, with VCl₄ at 320–340 °C. An X-ray crystallo- graphic study with the use of synchrotron radiation revealed the chlorination patterns which show certain similarity due to only small differences between isomeric C₈₆ cages.

Keywords: higher fullerenes, C₈₆, chlorination, IPR isomers, structure elucidation.
