title: The first structural confirmation of a C102 fullerene as C102Cl20 containing a non-IPR carbon cage.
abstract: The chlorination of a pristine C102 fullerene separated by HPLC from fullerene soot afforded crystals of C102Cl20 with a non-IPR (IPR = isolated pentagon rule) cage containing two pairs of fused pentagons; structural reconstruction of a two-step Stone-Wales rearrangement revealed the starting IPR isomer (no. 19) of C102.
