 Pentafluorinated phenyl-monohydro[60]fullerenes [C₆₀(Ar_f)₅H] are synthesized in good yields via reaction of the corresponding fluorinated phenyl copper reagent, itself prepared in situ from the fluorinated phenyl Grignard reagent (Ar_fMgBr) and copper(I) bromide-dimethyl sulfide complex, with [60]fullerene (C₆₀) in 1,2-dichlorobenzene under a nitrogen atmosphere.
