ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A smaller fullerene C56 (#913) is stabilized, isolated, and crystallographically characterized as C56Cl10. The geometric parameters of C56Cl10 imply the otherwise unstable cage of C56 can be stabilized by chlorination through releasing its surface strains and maintaining fragmental aromaticity. An unexpected C Cl...ClC short contact, as well as the linear alignment with pearl-necklace-shaped, is revealed in C56Cl10 crystal.
