Abstract
The family of experimentally confirmed isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) isomers of C96 fullerene is extended by trifluoromethylation of a C96 fraction of the fullerene soot, high-performance liquid chromatography separation of CF3 derivatives, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of C96(CF3)n compounds with the use of synchrotron radiation. New cage isomers were revealed in C96(94)(CF3)18/20 and C96(182)(CF3)18 compounds, whereas isomer C96(181), previously known in the adduct with nickel porphyrinate, was confirmed in C96(181)(CF3)18/20 derivatives. Common and special features of the addition patterns of CF3 groups on C96 carbon cages are discussed in more detail. The investigated isomers belong to the most stable C2-C96(181) and slightly less stable C1-C96(94) and C2-C96(182) among the altogether 15 experimentally confirmed IPR isomers of C96 fullerene.

Abstract
Classical fullerenes are built of pentagonal and hexagonal rings, and the conventional syntheses produce only those isomers that obey the isolated-pentagon rule (IPR), where all pentagonal rings are separated from each other by hexagonal rings. Upon exohedral derivatization, the IPR fullerene cages normally retain their connectivity pattern. However, it has been discovered that high-temperature chlorination of fullerenes with SbCl5 or VCl4 can induce skeletal transformations that alter the carbon cage topology, as directly evidenced by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the chlorinated products of a series of fullerenes in the broad range of C60 to C102. Two general types of transformations have been identified: (i) the Stone-Wales rearrangement (SWR) that consists of a rotation of a C-C bond by 90°, and (ii) the removal of a C-C bond, i.e., C2 loss (C2L). Single- or multistep SWR and/or C2L transformations afford either classical non-IPR fullerenes bearing fused pentagons (highlighted in red in the TOC picture) or nonclassical (NCx) fullerenes with x = 1-3 heptagonal rings (highlighted in blue in the TOC picture) often flanked by fused pentagons. Several subtypes of the SWR and C2L processes can be further discerned depending on the local topology of the transformed region of the cage. Under the chlorination conditions, the non-IPR and NC carbon cages that would be energetically unfavorable and mostly labile in their pristine state are instantaneously stabilized by chlorination of the pentagon-pentagon junctions and by delimitation of the original spherical π-system into smaller favorable aromatic fragments. The significance of the chlorination-promoted skeletal transformations within the realm of fullerene chemistry is demonstrated by the growing body of examples. To date, these include single- and multistep SWRs in the buckminsterfullerene C60 and in the higher fullerenes C76(1), C78(2), C82(3), and C102(19), single and multistep C2Ls (i.e., cage shrinkage) in C86(16), C88(33), C90(28), C92(50), C96(80), C96(114), and C102(19), and multistep combinations of SWRs and C2Ls in C88(3), C88(33), and C100(18), (IPR isomer numbering in parentheses is according to the spiral algorithm). Remarkably, an IPR precursor can give rise to versatile transformed chlorinated fullerene cages formed via branched pathways. The products can be recovered either in their initial chlorinated form or as more soluble CF3/F derivatives obtained by an additional trifluoromethylation workup. Reconstruction of the skeletal transformation pathways is often complicated due to the lack of the isolable intermediate products in the multistep cases. Therefore, it is usually based on the principle of selecting the shortest pathways between the starting and the final cage. The quantum-chemical calculations illustrate the detailed mechanisms of the SWR and C2L transformations and the thermodynamic driving forces behind them. A particularly important aspect is the interplay between the chlorination patterns and the regiochemistry of the skeletal transformations.

Abstract
High-temperature trifluoromethylation of isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) fullerene C92 chlorination products followed by HPLC separation of C92 (CF3 )n derivatives resulted in the isolation and X-ray structural characterization of IPR C92 (38)(CF3 )18 and non-classical C92 (NC)(CF3 )22 . The formation of C92 (38)(CF3 )18 as the highest CF3 derivative of the known isomer C92 (38) can be expected. The formation of C92 (NC)(CF3 )22 was interpreted as chlorination-promoted cage transformation of C92 (38) followed by trifluoromethylation of non-classical C92 (NC) chloride. Noticeably, C92 (NC)(CF3 )22 shows the highest degree of trifluoromethylation among all known CF3 derivatives of fullerenes. The addition patterns of C92 (38)(CF3 )18 and C92 (NC)(CF3 )22 are discussed and compared to the chlorination patterns of C92 (38)Cln compounds.

Abstract
High-temperature chlorination of pristine C98 fullerene isomers separated by HPLC from the fullerene soot afforded crystals of C98Cl22 and C98Cl20. An X-ray structure elucidation revealed, respectively, the presence of carbon cages of the most stable C2-C98(248) and rather unstable C1-C98(116), which represent the first isolated pentagon rule (IPR) isomers of fullerene C98 confirmed experimentally. The chlorination patterns of the chlorides are discussed in terms of the formation of isolated C=C bonds and aromatic substructures on the fullerene cages.

Abstract
High-temperature chlorination of C100 fullerene followed by X-ray structure determination of the chloro derivatives enabled the identification of three isomers of C100 from the fullerene soot, specifically numbers 18, 425, and 417, which obey the isolated pentagon rule (IPR). Among them, isomers C1-C100 (425) and C2-C100 (18) afforded C1-C100 (425)Cl22 and C2-C100 (18)Cl28/30 compounds, respectively, which retain their IPR cage connectivities. In contrast, isomer C2v -C100 (417) gives Cs -C100 (417)Cl28 which undergoes a skeletal transformation by the loss of a C2 fragment, resulting in the formation of a nonclassical (NC) C1-C98 (NC)Cl26 with a heptagon in the carbon cage. Most probably, two nonclassical C1-C100 (NC)Cl18/22 chloro derivatives originate from the IPR isomer C1-C100 (382), although both C1-C100 (344) and even nonclassical C1-C100 (NC) can be also considered as the starting isomers.
