title: Dynamic HPLC study of C70 chlorination reveals a surprisingly selective synthesis of C70Cl8.
abstract: A dynamic HPLC study of C(70) chlorination led to the discovery, isolation, characterization, and development of the efficient preparatory procedures for two previously unknown soluble chlorofullerenes C(70)Cl(8) and C(70)Cl(6) and for insoluble [C(70)Cl(8)](n). A novel synthesis of 99% pure C(70)Cl(10) with a nearly quantitative yield was also developed. The first stability study of C(70)Cl(10,8,6) in solution showed that these compounds are very light-sensitive.
