Abstract: Chlorofullerenes C₈₄Cl_22,24 were obtained by chlorination of minor C₈₄ isomers mixture with VCl₄ at 330 °C. An X-ray crystallographic study with the use of synchrotron radiation revealed the presence of C₈₄(11)Cl₂₂, C₈₄(14)Cl₂₂, C₈₄(16)Cl₂₂, and C₈₄(16)Cl₂₄ in the same crystal.

Keywords: higher fullerenes, C₈₄, chlorination, minor isomers, structure elucidation.
