Reaction of metallic fluorides : WF6, TaF5, NbF5 and TiF4 with C-60/C-
70 extract was pet-formed at appropriate temperatures. MoF5 and BF3 fl
uorides do not react. Chemical formulas based on mass uptake show MF(n
)/C-60 ratios up to 2.00. Compounds were analysed by means of X-ray di
ffraction, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopies. The presence of neutral fluor
ides and associated anionic species is put forward and it is shown tha
t MF(n) compounds do not act as fluorination agents. Electrical conduc
tivity measurements are also presented.
