Abstract

Introducing boron: heterofullerenes that incorporate boron have been scarcely studied because a formation route from C(60) is not known. It is now reported that C(59)B(-), an electronically closed-shell species, is formed directly from pristine C(60) in the gas-phase by facile atom exchange reactions.
