Abstract
In this paper the procedure for catalytical bromination of C60 with elementary bromine with FeBr3 as a catalyst is described. In this procedures only one reaction product - C60 Br24 is obtained. The twenty four bromine atoms are symmetrically distributed over the C60 sphere, which was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis. The yield of bromine derivative in this reaction is 98%.Keywords
