Complex mixtures of fused alicyclic fluorocarbons CnFm (n = 16-30, m = 30-5
0) were obtained during extensive fluorination of C-60 beyond C60F48 using
elemental fluorine at elevated temperatures (275-325 degrees C), Analysis o
f these fluorocarbon mixtures (performed by GC-MS and NMR) demonstrated tha
t the distribution of individual fluorocarbons in these mixtures is not ran
dom. A plausible computational model of the chemical fragmentation process
was developed.
