Abstract: C₁-C₈₄(24)(CF₃)₁₈ was isolated by HPLC from the trifluoromethylation products of a C₈₄ fullerene mixture. Its molecular structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. In the addition pattern, 18 CF₃ groups are arranged near the cage equator, thus isolating five benzenoid rings and three C=C bonds on the carbon cage.

Keywords: higher fullerenes, C₈₄, trifluoromethylation, structure elucidation, HPLC.
