Abstract

A dynamic HPLC study of C₇₀ chlorination led to the discovery, isolation, characterization, and development of the efficient preparatory procedures for two previously unknown soluble chlorofullerenes C₇₀Cl₈ and C₇₀Cl₆ and for insoluble [C₇₀Cl₈]_n. A novel synthesis of 99% pure C₇₀Cl₁₀ with a nearly quantitative yield was also developed. The first stability study of C₇₀Cl_10,8,6 in solution showed that these compounds are very light-sensitive.
