The cage N atom in C59N directs the addition pattern in reactions with CF 3 I. A. A. Popov, A. Hirsch, S. H. Strauss, O. V. Boltalina, and co‐workers report in their Communication on page 5537 ff. on a series of C 59 N(CF 3 ) n compounds ( n =5–11). The X‐ray structure of C 59 N(CF 3 ) 5 shows that this derivatized azafullerene exhibits a skew‐pentagonal‐pyramid structure. The molecules are arranged in distorted hexagonal‐close‐packed layers that are stacked in register (i.e. AAA).
