A systematic density functional study of chlorine addition to C(70) up to C(70)Cl(12) confirms experimental observations of regioselectivity and stability of C(70)Cl(10). We show that K@C(70) follows an alternative addition sequence with different isomers and magic numbers to C(70) such as KC(70)Cl(3). This prediction is important for controlling functionalisation behaviour via encapsulation and endofullerene purification.
