Abstract

Lost and found: In-situ exohedral trifluoromethylation of endohedral fullerenes using an arc-discharge method (see picture) gives access to a wide variety of missing unconventional metallofullerenes. Such otherwise insoluble and unstable metallofullerenes become soluble and stable in organic solvents after an exterior functionalization.
