Abstract

From fluorination of [60]fullerene with MnF3/K2NiF6 at 480 °C we have isolated and characterised by both 19F NMR spectrum and single crystal X-ray analysis, a C1 isomer of C60F36; it has three planar delocalised aromatic rings, three short C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds (due to compression from the adjacent fluorines), the longest FC–CF bond (1.684 Å) yet found in a fluorofullerene, and its stability is predicted by calculations.
