Abstract

The title compound, C₇₂F₃₆, is one of four isomers of C₆₀(CF₃)₁₂ for which crystal structures have been obtained. The fullerene mol­ecule has an idealized I_h C₆₀ core with the 12 CF₃ groups arranged in an asymmetric fashion on two ribbons of edge-sharing C₆(CF₃)₂ hexa­gons, a para–meta–para–para–para–meta–para ribbon and a para–meta–para ribbon, giving an overall pmp ³ mp,pmp structure. There are no cage Csp ³—Csp ³ bonds. The F atoms of two CF₃ groups are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are 0.85/0.15 and 0.73/0.27. There are intra­molecular F⋯F contacts between pairs of CF₃ groups on the same hexa­gon that range from 2.521 (3) to 2.738 (4) Å.
