    Abstract:
    An extended study of the spectroscopic and redox properties of the C(82) fullerene is presented. Among the nine isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) isomers of the C(82) fullerene the C(82)(3) isomer with C(2) symmetry is the only stable, empty fullerene structure formed in the arc burning process that can be isolated in an isomerically pure form. Here, its formation and isolation are described and its structure is confirmed by experimental spectroscopic studies as well as time-dependent DFT calculations. The electrochemistry of the C(82)(3) isomer is studied in detail by cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. The anionic species of C(82) with the charge ranging from C(82) (-) to C(82) (4-) were successively generated in o-dichlorobenzene solution at room temperature and characterized by in situ ESR and visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy. The data give new insights into the charged states of the C(82)(3) fullerene.
