Abstract

The recent X-ray structural studies of endohedral metallofullerenes by synchrotron radiation (SR) powder diffraction utilizing the maximum entropy method (MEM) are reviewed. Results for endohedral metallofullerenes (Y@C₈₂, La@C₈₂, Sc@C₈₂, Sc₂@C₈₄, Sc₃@C₈₂, Sc₂@C₆₆, La₂@C₈₀ and Sc₂C₂@C₈₄) are given. The precise MEM charge densities of metallofullerenes present direct images of the endohedral nature of metallofullerenes and reveal the features of the charge transfer from metal atoms to a carbon cage, which governs the stability of the unique endohedral structures. The MEM/Rietveld method, which is the crucial method for structural determination of endohedral metallofullerenes based on SR powder data, is also described in some detail.
