Two for the price of one : The first halogenated derivative of C 90 , C 90 Cl 32 (see structure; gray C, green Cl), is obtained by chlorination of a higher fullerene mixture with SbCl 5 . Its molecular structure, elucidated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, reveals the presence of two isomeric C 90 cages that correspond to C 2 v isomer 46 and C s isomer 34. The addition of 32 chlorine atoms is the maximum degree of chlorination achieved for fullerenes.
