At sixes and sevens : The reaction of corannulene with 35 equivalents of 1,4‐C 4 F 8 I 2 is an efficient and a relatively selective process that yields two main products in which six H atoms are substituted with three C 4 F 8 moieties that form six‐ and seven‐membered rings. Low‐temperature photoelectron spectroscopy showed the electron affinity of the major isomer (shown) exceeds that of C 60 (2.74±0.02 and 2.689±0.008 eV, respectively).
