title: Synthesis and structural characterization of highly chlorinated C70, C70Cl28.
abstract: Chlorination of [70]fullerene with SbCl(5), VCl(4) or PCl(5) yielded C(70)Cl(28) comprising three isomers, all containing four isolated benzenoid rings in the fullerene cage. This demonstrates, for the first time for C(70) derivatives, a stabilization effect due to planar aromaticity.
