The title fullerene, C69H9NO.CS2, is a low-symmetric derivative of C60 and does not show the known disorder of the unsubstituted fullerene molecule. Contrary to spectroscopic investigations, the Cs symmetry of the molecule is no longer present in the crystal. The two bridging atoms, C1 and C2, `stand out' of the C60 surface.
