The enthalpy of formation of fullerene fluoride C60F18 and the C-F bond energy

Abstract

The enthalpy of combustion of crystalline fullerene fluoride C60F18 was determined in an isoperibolic calorimeter with a rotating platinized bomb, and the enthalpy of formation of the compound was calculated. The enthalpy of sublimation of C60F18 measured earlier was used to calculate the enthalpy of formation of fullerene fluoride in the gas phase and the mean enthalpy of dissociation of C-F bonds in this compound.
