Abstract
Two novel derivatives of the C70 fullerene with 9- and 10-membered cage openings were obtained by means of oxidation and decarbonylation of C70(CF3)8. The major product, C70(O)(CF3)8O2, features a cleaved C-C bond transformed into two carbonyl functions plus an ether bridge. The second product, C69O(CF3)8O, has one of the carbonyls replaced with another ether bridge. We provide a DFT analysis of the possible formation pathways to give the oxidized compounds under the action of pyridine N-oxide.

Abstract
High-temperature chlorination of C76 fullerene with SbCl5 proceeds via five Stone-Wales rearrangements, resulting in non-classical (NC) C76(NC1a)Cl24 with two heptagons and 14 pentagons partically fused in pairs and triples. C76(NC2b)Cl28 with isomeric carbon cage was obtained by chlorination-promoted cage shrinkage of C80via two C2 losses. The pathways of skeletal cage trasformations, the chlorination patterns, and formation energies are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Fullerene C86 contains two isomers obeying the Isolated-Pentagon Rule (IPR), CS-C86(16) and C2-C86(17). Both isomers undergo unprecedented skeletal transformations at high-temperature (400 °C) chlorination with SbCl5. One-step Stone-Wales rearrangement (SWR) in C86(17) results in the pentagon-fused #63614C86 cage found in the structure of #63614C86Cl24. CF3 derivatives with the same cage, two isomers of #63614C86(CF3)18 and #63614C86(CF3)18O2, were obtained by high-temperature trifluoromethylation of the chlorination products with CF3I, followed by HPLC separation. The skeletal transformation of C86(16) proceeds via two SWRs under the formation of a #63624C86 cage with one fused-pentagon pair found in the structure of #63624C86(CF3)18. The addition patterns in skeletally transformed molecules are discussed in detail, disclosing the influence of the pentagon fusions, isolated C=C bonds, and benzenoid rings on the stability of the molecules with non-IPR C86 cages. The chlorination-promoted SWRs in C86 isomers have been observed for the first time, which contribute a lot to the understanding of skeletal transformations in fullerenes.

Abstract
Low-chlorinated fullerenes, dimeric (C60Cl5)2 and one-dimensional, polymeric (C60Cl4)∞, were obtained by high-temperature (270 °C) chlorination of C60 with a SbCl5/SbCl3 mixture, as revealed by X-ray crystallography. The compounds were characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. This is the first observation of a fullerene polymer with single C-C bonding and neutral building blocks.

Abstract
High-temperature chlorination of the most stable Isolated-Pentagon-Rule (IPR) isomer of fullerene C82, C2-C82(3), invariably produces non-IPR #39173C82Cl28, containing one pentagon-pentagon fusion in the carbon cage. High-temperature trifluoromethylation of #39173C82Cl28 followed by HPLC separation resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation of eight #39173C82(CF3)n (n = 14, 16, 18) compounds. Structural chemistry of #39173C82(CF3)14,16,18 and #39173C82Cl28 is characterized by the variation of the addition patterns in the region of a pentagon-pentagon fusion. The regiochemistry of CF3 addition in the remaining cage region is similar to that of the known IPR C82(3)(CF3)n compounds. Theoretical calculations revealed that #39173C82(CF3)n possess lower thermodynamic stability than isomeric IPR derivatives.

Abstract
High-temperature (440 °C) chlorination of C70 with SbCl5 promotes Stone-Wales transformations and loss of the C2 fragment, which results in a non-classical C68Cl28 partially hydrolyzed to C68Cl26(OH)2 and C68Cl25(OH)3. X-ray diffraction reveals an unprecedented C68 cage with three heptagons and 15 pentagons arranged in fused pairs and triples. The shortest possible transformation pathways include one C2 loss step and four Stone-Wales transformation steps.

Abstract
The carbon cage of Ih-C60, obeying the isolated-pentagon rule (IPR), can be transformed to the non-IPR D2h-1810C60 cage via two successive Stone-Wales rearrangements in the course of high-temperature chlorination of C60 with SbCl5. Two chloro derivatives, C2v-1810C60Cl24 and C2v-1810C60Cl20, have been isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). High-temperature trifluoromethylation of the chlorination products with CF3I, followed by HPLC separation, afforded a non-IPR CF3 derivative, Cs-1810C60(CF3)14. Structural elucidation of the isolated compounds revealed that all eight sites of pentagon-pentagon fusions on the carbon cage are preferentially occupied by Cl atoms or CF3 groups. According to density functional theory calculations, chloro and CF3 derivatives of 1810C60 are more stable than the isomeric derivatives of 1809C60 or IPR 1812C60, possessing respectively four or no sites of pentagon fusion in their carbon cages.

Abstract
The carbon cage of buckminsterfullerene Ih-C60, obeying the Isolated-Pentagon Rule (IPR), can be transformed to the non-IPR C2v-1809C60 cage by a single Stone-Wales rearrangement (SWR) in the course of high-temperature chlorination of C60 with SbCl5. The following high-temperature trifluoromethylation of the chlorination products with CF3I afforded non-IPR CF3 derivatives, 1809C60(CF3)n. X-ray diffraction studies of 1809C60(CF3)n (n = 10, 12, 14, 16) revealed that the sites of pentagon-pentagon fusions on the carbon cage are preferentially occupied by CF3 groups. The addition patterns of 1809C60(CF3)n and related 1809C60Cln are compared, demonstrating a prevailing role of pentagon-pentagon fusions in the stability and structural chemistry of these compounds. Further SWR skeletal transformations of 1809C60 are discussed and compared with the experimental data available.

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
The isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) D5h-C70 fullerene is least susceptible to skeletal transformations in comparison with higher fullerenes and even C60. A cage transformation in IPR C70 via a one-step Stone-Wales rearrangement was accomplished by high-temperature (440 °C) ampule chlorination with SbCl5. Subsequent dechlorination at 450 °C, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography separation, allowed the isolation of non-IPR C70Cl6 and C70Cl8. X-ray diffraction study revealed the presence of an unprecedented C70 carbon cage, possessing two pairs of fused pentagons and the chlorination patterns located on one cage hemisphere. A high energetic and thermal stability of both non-IPR chlorides was also confirmed by theoretical calculations of formation energies. Pathways of skeletal transformations of IPR C70 in comparison with those in C60 are discussed.

Abstract
The properties of a wide range of two-dimensional network materials are investigated by developing a generalized network theory. The methods developed are shown to be applicable to a wide range of systems generated from both computation and experiment; incorporating atomistic materials, foams, fullerenes, colloidal monolayers, and geopolitical regions. The ring structure in physical networks is described in terms of the node degree distribution and the assortativity. These quantities are linked to previous empirical measures such as Lemaître's law and the Aboav-Weaire law. The effect on these network properties is explored by systematically changing the coordination environments, topologies, and underlying potential model of the physical system.

Abstract
The carbon cage of buckminsterfullerene Ih -C60 , which obeys the Isolated-Pentagon Rule (IPR), can be transformed to non-IPR cages in the course of high-temperature chlorination of C60 or C60 Cl30 with SbCl5 . The non-IPR chloro derivatives were isolated chromatographically (HPLC) and characterized crystallographically as 1809 C60 Cl16 , 1810 C60 Cl24 , and 1805 C60 Cl24 , which contain, respectively two, four, and four pairs of fused pentagons in the carbon cage. High-temperature trifluoromethylation of the chlorination products with CF3 I afforded a non-IPR CF3 derivative, 1807 C60 (CF3 )12 , which contains four pairs of fused pentagons in the carbon cage. Addition patterns of non-IPR chloro and CF3 derivatives were compared and discussed in terms of the formation of stabilizing local substructures on fullerene cages. A detailed scheme of the experimentally confirmed non-IPR C60 isomers obtained by Stone-Wales cage transformations is presented.

High-temperature (360 °C) chlorination of C70 with VCl4 or SbCl5 yields only IPR C70Cl26/28. Chlorination with SbCl5 at 440 °C resulted in a skeletal transformation via a two-step Stone-Wales rearrangement and the formation of non-IPR 8005C70Cl26 with two fused pentagon pairs in the carbon cage which was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
According to the isolated pentagon rule (IPR), for stable fullerenes, the 12 pentagons should be isolated from one another by hexagons, otherwise the fused pentagons will result in an increase in the local steric strain of the fullerene cage. However, the successful isolation of more than 100 endohedral and exohedral fullerenes containing fused pentagons over the past 20 years has shown that strain release of fused pentagons in fullerene cages is feasible. Herein, we present a general overview on fused-pentagon-containing (i.e. non-IPR) fullerenes through an exhaustive review of all the types of fused-pentagon-containing fullerenes reported to date. We clarify how the strain of fused pentagons can be released in different manners, and provide an in-depth understanding of the role of fused pentagons in the stability, electronic properties, and chemical reactivity of fullerene cages.

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.

Chem Asian J 2019; 14:2108-2111.

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.
