Generation of the C60 radical cation and the radical adduct of trichloromethyl radical to C60. Pulse radiolysis and laser photolysis of C60 in CCl4

The radical cation of C60 is generated either via hole transfer from the radical cation of CCl4 to C60 or via electron transfer from triplet C60 to CCl4. The radical adduct of .CCl3 to C60, [C60CCl3]., was also produced via two different mechanisms, namely the radical addition reaction and the reaction between triplet C60 and CCl4, respectively.
