Аннотация:The Isolated-Pentagon Rule (IPR) D5h-C70 fullerene is least susceptible to skeletal transformations in comparison with higher fullerenes and even C60. A cage transformation in IPR C70 via one-step Stone-Wales rearrangement was accomplished by high-temperature (440 C) ampoule chlorination with SbCl5. The subsequent dechlorination at 450 C followed by HPLC separation allowed the isolation of non-IPR C70Cl6 and C70Cl8. X-ray diffraction study revealed the presence of an unprecedented C70 carbon cage, possessing two pairs of fused pentagons and the chlorination patterns located on one cage hemisphere. A high energetic and thermal stability of both non-IPR chlorides was also confirmed by theoretical calculations of formation energies. Pathways of skeletal transformations of IPR C70 in comparison with those in C60 are discussed.
