Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A question of symmetry: Unlike other mono-metallofullerenes, the cage structures of Eu@C ₈₂ (isomers I and III) have been shown to have C _s (no. 6) and C _2v symmetry, respectively, by the maximum entropy method using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data. In both isomers (see structures) the Eu ion (turquoise) is located near the top of the carbon cage adjacent to a C-C double bond.
