Perfluoroalkylation of a mixture of higher fullerenes has yielded the first direct proof of the cage connectivities in C 94 (isomer 61) and C 96 (isomer 145). The addition patterns of the R F groups on these fullerene cages, the largest to be structurally investigated to date, were determined by X‐ray structure analyses of C 94 (CF 3 ) 20 (see structure; gray C, green F) and C 96 (C 2 F 5 ) 12 .
