A long-sought empty non-IPR fullerene, C-#11188(72), which is more stable than the sole IPR isomer in the fullerene[72] family, has been retrieved and crystallographically characterized as (C72Cl4)-C-#11188. Mass spectrometric data support the facile dechlorination of (C72Cl4)-C-#11188 and, in turn, the possible stability of pristine C-#11188(72).
