Welcome to the family! The constitution of the chiral D 2 ‐C 80 fullerene has been confirmed through single‐crystal X‐ray analysis of the chlorinated C 80 Cl 12 . The addition pattern of the chlorine atoms in the structure of C 80 Cl 12 together with other structures of halogenated higher fullerenes is discussed. A stepwise principle of higher fullerene reactivity is proposed. Unusual short intermolecular chlorine–chlorine contacts are reported.
