✦ Synopsis

It is both an [18]trannulene and a [60]fullerene. It is aromatic and a hexa-substituted benzene. It is formed by the first proven example of an SN 2' reaction in a fullerene. It is intensely colored and stable. It is C60 F15 [CBr(CO2 Et)2 ]3 , the first example of a new class of fullerene derivatives (see Schlegel diagram).
