Chlorofullerenes C86(16)Cl16 and C86(17)Cl18,20 were prepared by chlorination of Cs-C86(16) and C2-C86(17), respectively, with VCl4 at 320–340 °C. An X-ray crystallo- graphic study with the use of synchrotron radiation revealed the chlorination patterns which show certain similarity due to only small differences between isomeric C86 cages.
