Nitrogen Directs Multiple Radical Additions to the 9,9′‐Bi‐1‐aza(C60‐Ih)[5,6]fullerene: X‐ray Structure of 6,9,12,15,18‐C59N(CF3)5

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

“Dixie cup” packing: Molecules of the first structurally characterized derivative of (C59N)2 bearing trifluoromethyl groups are stacked in register 10.179 Å apart to form a rare non-close-packed arrangement (AAA…︁; see picture). The presence of the nitrogen atom on the fullerene core results in unique addition patterns in C59N(CF3)7/9/11.
