J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Jul 13;127(27):9684-5. doi: 10.1021/ja0524806.

Abstract

The first isolation of missing metallofullerene, La@C74, as a derivative is reported. The structural determination has been performed by spectroscopic and, finally, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and the properties of La@C74 are discussed on the basis of the theoretical study.
