Аннотация: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.
