Synthesis,Isolation and Structures of Trifluoromethylated Fullerenes D2‐C76, C76(1)(CF3)10–18 |
| |
| Abstract: | High‐temperature trifluoromethylation of fullerene C76 chlorination products followed by HPLC separation of C76(CF3)n derivatives resulted in the isolation and X‐ray structural characterization of thirteen C76(1)(CF3)n compounds including nine new isomers such as one isomer of C76(1)(CF3)10, two C76(1)(CF3)12, three C76(1)(CF3)14, one C76(1)(CF3)16, and two isomers of C76(1)(CF3)18. Depending on their addition patterns, C76(1)(CF3)n isomers are divided into three subgroups and discussed in terms of trifluoromethylation pathways and relative formation energies. |
