New experimental results on perfluoroalkylation of C{sub 60} and C{sub 70} with the use of R{sub f}I (R{sub f} = CF{sub 3}, C{sub 2}F{sub 5}, n-C{sub 3}F{sub 7}, n-C{sub 4}F{sub 9}, and n-C{sub 6}F{sub 13}), along with a critical overview of the existing synthetic methods, are presented. For the selected new fullerene (R{sub f}){sub n} compounds we report spectroscopic, electrochemical and structural data, including improved crystallographic data for the isomers of C{sub 70}(C{sub 2}F{sub 5}){sub 10} and C{sub 60}(C{sub 2}F{sub 5}){sub 10}, and the first X-ray structural data for the dodecasubstituted perfluoethylated C{sub 70} fullerene, C{sub 70}(C{sub 2}F{sub 5}){sub 12}, which possesses unprecedented addition pattern.
