Saturnene has four moons : Reactions of C 60 with ternary metal fluorides yielded fluorofullerenes from C 60 F 2 to C 60 F 48 , including elusive saturnene, C 60 F 20 , which has now been characterized by X‐ray crystallography. Four benzene molecules “hover” over this D 5 d molecule at the corners of a square inscribed in the idealized body‐centered‐cubic unit cell (see structure; F yellow). The tight unit‐cell packing explains the very low solubility of saturnene.
