Singly-bonded fullerene dimers: neutral (C(60)Cl(5))(2) and cationic (C(70))(2)(2+).
C(60)Br(24) and C(70)Br(10) react with TiCl(4), splitting out bromine, and, after Br/Cl exchange, forming singly-bonded dimeric structures (C(60)Cl(5))(2) and [(C(70))(2)](Ti(3)Cl(13))(2), respectively, the latter consisting of dimeric [(C(70))(2)](2+) dications and (Ti(3)Cl(13))(-) anions.
