✦ Synopsis
Synthesis and characterization of fluorinated fullerene
C6o have been reported by several groups [l-8]. Mass spectroscopy revealed that a stable fluorinated product was C60F36 [6] and a main product obtained under UV irradiation was C6oF48 [7]. Mass spectroscopic studies suggest that C6o is fluorinated up to C60F48, however, that further fluorination breaks the cage by C-C bond rupture [4,6,7]. It was reported that fluorinated C60 had the semi-covalent C-F bonding similar to that of fluorine -graphite intercalation compound C2F prepared at room temperature or C-F bonding with somewhat higher covalency than the C2F [3,8-lo].
