Abstract

Pentafluoroethyl derivatives of [60]fullerene C60(C2F5)n (n = 6, 8, and 10) were synthesized by the reaction of C60 with C2F5I in glass ampoules at 380–440 °C. Isomers of composition C60(C2F5)6 (one isomer), C60(C2F5)8 (five isomers), and C60(C2F5)10 (two isomers) were isolated by chromatographic separation. Their molecular structures were established by X-ray diffraction. The relative stabilities of isomers were compared by density functional theory calculations.
