Tales of the unexpected : The [70]fullerene chloride C 70 Cl 16 resulted from the reaction of [70]fullerene with a mixture of Br 2 and TiCl 4 . A single‐crystal X‐ray crystallographic study revealed the presence of two isomers of C 70 Cl 16 , both containing a belt of ten chlorine atoms around the equator and a skew pyramidal cap of six chlorine atoms on the pole of the C 70 Cl 16 molecule (see picture).
