Compounds C88(7)(CF3)12 and C88(7)(CF3)16 were isolated by HPLC from the trifluoromethylation products of a mixture of C88 isomers. An X-ray diffraction study revealed that the trifluoromethylation patterns are characterized by the additions in edge-sharing para and meta C6(CF3)2 hexagons and the presence of stabilizing isolated and partially isolated C=C bonds on the fullerene cage.
