title: Five isolated pentagon rule isomers of higher fullerene C94 captured as chlorides and CF3 derivatives: C94(34)Cl14, C94(61)Cl20, C94(133)Cl22, C94(42)(CF3)16, and C94(43)(CF3)18.
abstract: High-temperature chlorination and trifluoromethylation of C94 isomeric mixtures followed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with the use of synchrotron radiation resulted in the structure determination of C94(34)Cl14, C94(61)Cl20, C94(133)Cl22, C94(42)(CF3)16, and C94(43)(CF3)18. Their addition patterns are stabilized by the formation of isolated C═C bonds and aromatic substructures. Four cage isomers of C94 (nos. 34, 42, 43, and 133) have been experimentally confirmed for the first time.
