Deflated buckyballs : The single‐crystal structure of C 60 F 48 ⋅2 (mesitylene) revealed the presence of both D 3 and S 6 isomers in the same crystal. C(sp 2 )−C(sp 2 ) bonds (1.30 Å) are much shorter than C(sp 3 )−C(sp 3 ) bonds (1.54–1.63 Å). The C 60 cage is characterized by concave areas in the regions of six double bonds (see picture). Each double bond is effectively shielded by four F atoms, which accounts for the low reactivity of C 60 F 48 .
