Abstract
We present a metal carbide clusterfullerene Sc2C2@Cs(10528)–C72, whose structure has been baffling for many years. A motional endohedral Sc2C2 cluster, special molecule geometry and electronic structure were found in Sc2C2@Cs(10528)–C72. The paramagnetic Sc2C2@Cs–C72 anion radical was successfully prepared by a chemical reduction method and hyperfine couplings in the ESR spectrum were observed.
