Abstract

Paramagnetic odd‐fluorinated fullerenes have been observed and characterized by electron spin resonance (ESR), revealing evidence that the fluorination process is inhomogeneous and that these species are not very stable. It is suggested, therefore, that the only method of stabilizing odd fluorinated fullerenes would be to capture the fluorine inside the C60 cage. The relative stability of the various fluorinated fullerenes is discussed.
