Abstract
The photolysis of C60Cl6 in the presence of alpha-phenyl-N-tert-burylnitron (PBN) as a spin trap was studied by ESR spectroscopy, it was shown that a C-Cl bond undergoes homolytic cleavage to give a stable fullerenyl radical of the cyclopentadienyl type, whose formation was confirmed by quantum-chem ical computations.
