Abstract

An x-ray crystal structure that confirms the soccer ball-shaped carbon framework of C 60 (buckminsterfullerene) is reported. An osmyl unit was added to C 60 in order to break its pseudospherical symmetry and give an ordered crystal. The crystal structure of this derivative, C 60 (OsO 4 )(4- tert -butylpyridine) 2 , reveals atomic positions within the carbon cluster.
