Abstract

A new metallofullerene Y₃N@C₇₈-C₂ was synthesized and characterized. It was shown that Y₃N@C₇₈ has an unconventional C₇₈-C₂ cage with two pairs of fused pentagons closely bonded with two yttrium atoms. DFT calculations showed that the size of the ionic radii of the metals forming the caged cluster plays an important role in the non-isolated-pentagon-rule-feature of the C₇₈ cage.
