โฆ Synopsis
The EPR spectrum of PF3(O'B)C6o, a derivative of PFaC6o, is described and discussed. It is concluded that, in the trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of bonds around the phosphorus atom, two of the fluorine atoms occupy axial positions, as might be expected from their electronegativity. The C60 and OrB ligands, and the third fluorine atom, occupy equatorial positions. The enthalpy barrier to Berry pseudo-rotation about the P-C bond is 9.2 + 1.1 kcal/mol.

The radical cation of C6o is generated either via hole transfer from the radical cation of CCI 4 to C6o or via electron transfer from triplet C6o to CC14. The radical adduct of "CC13 to C6o, [C6oCC13]" , was also produced via two different mechanisms, namely the radical addition reaction and the rea
