Nanochemistry of fullerene C60: Stepwise computational synthesis of €uorinated fullerenes C60F2k

In this chapter we are interested in the interaction between fullerene C60 and šuorine gas consisting of F2 molecules.1 Let us start from the C60 + F2 dyad and answer the above questions.

1. At the level of UBS HF AM1 calculations, both types of œnal products with two modiœcations of the [A+B-] šuorides are formed (see Figure 4.1).
