Large fullerenes stabilized by encapsulation of metallic clusters

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Oct 28:(40):4161-3. doi: 10.1039/b709548a. Epub 2007 Aug 6.

Abstract

Structures are proposed for six endohedral metallofullerenes with large carbon cages (from C(92) to C(100)) on the basis of sizeable (LUMO-4)-(LUMO-3) gap and the formal transfer of six electrons to the cages.
