C₆₀ 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylene tetrasolvate

C. Arunkumar, P. Bhyrappa and B. Varghese

Abstract: In the title complex, C₆₀·4C₂Cl₄, the C₆₀ molecule is located on an inversion centre and there are two tetrachloroethylene (TCE) molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both TCE molecules show positional disorder, with occupancy ratios of 0.75:0.25 and 0.56:0.44. Four fullerene C atoms form short contacts [3.208 (17) and 3.223 (17) Å] with the centres of the TCE double bonds, indicating that C₆₀-solvent interactions are largely - in nature.
