Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Introducing boron</bold>: Heterofullerenes that incorporate boron have been scarcely studied because a formation route from C₆₀ is not known. It is now reported that C₅₉B⁻, an electronically closed‐shell species, is formed directly from pristine C₆₀ in the gas‐phase by facile atom exchange reactions.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1pjrpw9g" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
