Abstract
Structural peculiarities of C 20, C 24, C 30, C 36, C 40, C 60, C 70, and C 76 fullerenes and respective fullerenyl radicals formed by additions of H , F , Me radicals to a fullerene have been studied. For the first time linear correlations between heat effects of the reactions of radical addition to fullerenes and the local curvature of the carbon surface have been found. These correlations have been used for the prognosis of chemical properties of higher (C 78 and C 84) and bulky (C 540) fullerenes.
