Abstract
Our knowledge about endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) is restricted to the structures with sufficient kinetic stability to be extracted from the arc-discharge soot and processed by chromatographic and structural techniques. For the most abundant rare-earth monometallofullerene MIII@C82, experimental studies repeatedly demonstrated C2v(9) and Cs(6) carbon cage isomers, while computations predicted equal stability of the "missing" C3v(8) isomer. Here we report that this isomer is indeed formed but has not been recovered from soot using standard protocols. Using a combination of redox extraction and subsequent benzylation and trifluoromethylation with single-crystal XRD analysis of CF3 adduct, we prove that Dy@C3v(8)-C82 is one of the most abundantly produced metallofullerenes, which was not identified in earlier studies because of the low kinetic stability. Further, using the Dy@C3v(8)-C82(CF3) and Dy@C3v(8)-C82(CH2Ph) monoadducts for the case study, we analyzed the role of metal-fullerene bonding on the single-ion magnetic anisotropy of Dy in EMFs. The multitechnique approach, combining ab initio calculations, EPR spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometry, demonstrated that coordination of the Dy ion to the fullerene cage induces moderate, nonaxial, and very fluid magnetic anisotropy, which strongly varies with small alterations in the Dy-fullerene coordination geometry. As a result, Dy@C3v(8)-C82(CH2Ph) is a weak field-induced single-molecule magnet (SMM), whose signatures of magnetic relaxation are detectable only below 3 K. Our results demonstrate that metal-cage interactions should have a detrimental effect on the SMM performance of EMFs. At the same time, the strong variability of the magnetic anisotropy with metal position suggests tunability and offers strategies for future progress.

Abstract
The chemical properties of a prototypical labile mono-EMF, Y@Cs(6)-C82, have been systematically disclosed for the first time via a Bingel-Hirsch reaction. Three mono-adduct isomers, namely, 2a, 2b and 2c out of 44 possibilities for the Y@Cs(6)-C82 cage have been readily isolated, demonstrating surprisingly high regioselectivity. Crystallographic results of 2b unambiguously confirm its molecular structure with a singly bonded bromomalonate group attached onto the Cs(6)-C82 cage. Further computational results rationalize that the high regioselectivity is a consequence of the localization of high spin density and large frontier molecular orbital distribution on the corresponding carbon atoms stemming from the encapsulation of an yttrium atom into the low-symmetry Cs(6)-C82 cage with three-electron transfer from the metal to the cage.

Abstract
Four-electron transfer from U to the fullerene cage commonly exists in U@C2n (2n < 82) so far, while four- and three-electron transfers, which depend on the cage isomers, simultaneously occur in U@C82. Herein, detailed quantum-chemical methods combined with statistical thermodynamic analysis were applied to deeply probe into U@C84, which is detected in the mass spectra without any further exploration. With triplet ground states, novel isomers including isolated-pentagon-rule U@C2(51579)-C84 and U@D2(51573)-C84 as well as nonisolated-pentagon-rule U@Cs(51365)-C84 were identified as thermodynamically optimal. Surprisingly, there were unexpected three-electron transfers, which directly led to one unpaired electron on the cage, in all of the three isomers. Significant covalent interactions between the cage and U successively weakened for U@D2(51573)-C84, U@C2(51579)-C84, and U@Cs(51365)-C84. Besides, the IR absorption spectra were simulated as a reference for further structural identification in the experiment. Last but not least, the potential reaction sites were predicted to facilitate further functionalization and thus achieve promising applications for U@C84.

Abstract
Reduction of scandium nitride clusterfullerene, Sc3N@Ih-C80, by sodium fluorenone ketyl in the presence of cryptand[2,2,2] allows the crystallization of the {cryptand[2,2,2](Na(+))}2(Sc3N@Ih-C80(-))2·2.5C6H4Cl2 (1) salt.

Abstract
Theoretical studies of complexes of the enantiomers of CHFClBr with C82-3 show that the too large guests are stabilized in the C82cage by electrostatic interactions. The sign of v(CH) stretching vibration of S-CHFClBr@C82-3 in the VCD spectrum is reversed as compared to that of the free guest. Spectra of the complexes exhibit differences.

Abstract
Since the first discovery of fullerenes in 1985, the insertion of one or more atoms into a hollow fullerene cage has been attempted. Furthermore, synthesis and extraction of metallofullerene, La@C(n), were reported in 1991. Recent successful isolation and purification of metallofullerenes have facilitated the investigation of their chemical properties. This mini-review presents a summary of the recent progress of chemical functionalization and supramolecular chemistry of M@C(82). Selective functionalization and successful structural analysis of derivatives have revealed their chemical features arising from endohedral metal doping.

Abstract
The new endohedral fullerene, Sc(2)(mu(2)-O)@C(s)(6)-C(82), has been isolated from the carbon soot obtained by electric arc generation of fullerenes utilizing graphite rods doped with 90% Sc(2)O(3) and 10% Cu (w/w). Sc(2)(mu(2)-O)@C(s)(6)-C(82) has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, and UV/vis spectroscopy. Computational studies have shown that, among the nine isomers that follow the isolated pentagon rule (IPR) for C(82), cage 6 with C(s) symmetry is the most favorable to encapsulate the cluster at T > 1200 K. Sc(2)(mu(2)-O)@C(s)(6)-C(82) is the first example in which the relevance of the thermal and entropic contributions to the stability of the fullerene isomer has been clearly confirmed through the characterization of the X-ray crystal structure.

Abstract
Fullerene, an allotropic form of carbon made up of spherical molecules formed from pentagonal and hexagonal rings, was first discovered in 1985. Because fullerenes have spacious inner cavities, atoms and clusters can be encapsulated inside the fullerene cages to form endohedral fullerenes. In particular, the unique structural and electronic properties of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), where metal atoms are encapsulated within the fullerene, have attracted wide interest from physicists and chemists as well as materials scientists and biologists. The remarkable characteristics of these molecules originate in the electron transfer from the encapsulated metal atoms to the carbon cage. The positions and movements of the encapsulated metal atoms are important determinants of the chemical and physical properties of EMFs. In this Account, we specifically describe the positions and dynamic behavior of the metal atoms encapsulated in pristine and functionalized fullerene cages. First, we examined whether the metal atoms are attached rigidly to cage carbons or move around. Our systematic investigations of EMFs, including M@C(2v)-C(82), M(2)@D(2)(10611)-C(72), M(2)@D(3h)(5)-C(78), M(2)@I(h)-C(80), and M(2)@D(5h)-C(80), revealed that the metal positions and movements vary widely with different cage structures and numbers of metal atoms. Second, we wanted to understand whether we could control the positions and movements of the untouchable metal atoms in EMFs. One possible way to modulate this behavior was through attachment of a molecule to the outer surface of the cage. We developed synthetic methods to modify EMFs and have examined the metal positions and movements in the functionalized carbon cages. Remarkably, we could alter the dynamic behavior of the encaged metal atoms in M(2)@I(h)-C(80) drastically through chemical modification of the outer cage. We anticipate that the control of metal atom structures and dynamics within a cage could be valuable for designing functional molecular devices with new electronic or magnetic properties.

Abstract
We report here the results on single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of the Gd@C82 carbene adduct (Gd@C82(Ad), Ad = adamantylidene). The Gd atom in Gd@C82(Ad) is located at an off-centered position near a hexagonal ring in the C2v-C82 cage, as found for M@C82 (M = Sc and La) and La@C82(Ad). Theoretical calculation also confirms the position of the Gd atom in the X-ray crystal structure.

Abstract
A preferential extraction of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) from carbon soot through the use of reduction in the extraction process and a convenient isolation of endohedral metallofullerene anions (EMFs(-)) and empty fullerenes utilizing their difference in solubility are accomplished. EMFs are easily isolated by one-stage high-performance liquid chromatography after chemical oxidation of the extracted endohedral EMFs(-).
