title: Synthesis and characterization of difluoromethylene-homo[60]fullerene, C60(CF2).
abstract: Refluxing of the o-DCB solution of C60 with CF2ClCOONa and 18-crown-6 leads to formation of C60(CF2)n (n = 1-3); the monoadduct C60(CF2) has been found to consist of the main [6,6]- and minor [5,6]-isomers, both having an open structure.
