C80Cl12: a chlorine derivative of the chiral D2-C80 isomer--empirical rationale of halogen-atom addition pattern.
Welcome to the family! The constitution of the chiral D(2)-C(80) fullerene has been confirmed through single-crystal X-ray analysis of the chlorinated C(80)Cl(12). The addition pattern of the chlorine atoms in the structure of C(80)Cl(12) together with other structures of halogenated higher fullerenes is discussed. A stepwise principle of higher fullerene reactivity is proposed. Unusual short intermolecular chlorine-chlorine contacts are reported.
