Abstract: | Abstract Single crystals of fluorinated fullerene C60F x have been grown by sublimation. The crystal, ca. C60F46, has an fcc lattice with the cell constant 17.158(3) Å. The rotating molecules can be regarded as two inner spherical shells of carbon with radii 3.13 and 3.83 Å and an outer spherical shell of fluorine at 5.12 Å away from the center. PM3 calculations on C60F44,46,48 support the electron distribution in the ca. C60F46 determined by the X-ray structural analysis. |
