Abstract: The title compound, C₇₀F₃₀,which has crystallographic twofold symmetry, is one of four isomers of C₆₀(CF₃)₁₀. It has an idealized C₆₀-I_h core, with the ten CF₃ groups arranged on two symmetry-related para-para-para-meta-meta loops of five edge-sharing C₆(CF₃)₂ hexagons. There are no cage Csp³-Csp³ bonds. There are intramolecular FF contacts between pairs of neighboring CF₃ groups, ranging from 2.523 (2) to 2.746 (2) Å.
