New isomers of trifluoromethylated derivatives of metal nitride cluster fullerene: Sc3N@C80(CF3)n (n=14 and 16).
Sc(3)N@C(80) (I(h)) was trifluoromethylated with CF(3)I at 400 °C affording a mixture of CF(3) derivatives. Two isomers of Sc(3)N@C(80)(CF(3))(14) and Sc(3)N@C(80)(CF(3))(16) were separated by HPLC and investigated by X-ray crystallography. Detailed comparison of the four isomers revealed a strong influence of the exohedral CF(3) addition pattern on the behavior of the Sc(3)N cluster inside the C(80) fullerene cage.
