Chlorinated Fullerenes: A Theoretical Study

A STUDY ON THE THERMAL STABILITY OF THE PHOTOPOLYMER, THE OZOPOLYMER, AND THE PHOTOCHLORINATED DERIVATIVE OF C60FULLERENE

“…Our recent research efforts in this field are directed to the identification and study of the early intermdiates formed by the interaction between C 60 and ozone (8) as well as the chemical structure of the C 60 ozopolymer which recalls the structure of oxidized graphite, at least to a certain degree of similitude (9). Finally, another C 60 derivative of interest is the product of photochlorination (10,11) which can be described by the minimal formula C 60 Cl x with x = 18 maximum, as we have shown recently by using several sophisticated techniques of structure characterization (12,13), supported now by theoretical calculations (14).…”
