Abstract
Since the discovery of the first carbide cluster metallofullerene (CCMF) Sc2 C2 @C84 in 2001, CCMFs have attracted great concerns with variable structures and fascinating characteristics. To date, there are hundreds of studies on CCMFs. Crystallography studies on CCMFs are carried out by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Theoretical calculations can also be used to study CCMFs in detail without being limited by low experimental yields. This review analyzes the stability of CCMFs reported previously, and indicates that the C2 unit contributes a lot to their stability. At the same time, the relationship between the structures of inner carbide cluster and cage size is systematically discussed, and the four-electron transfer always occurs. Furthermore, the possible transformation rule between di-EMFs and CCMFs is indicated. Finally, an outlook regarding the future developments and applications of CCMFs is presented.

Abstract
Two Lu2O@C80 isomers have been successfully isolated and unambiguously assigned as Lu2O@C1(31876)-C80 and Lu2O@C2v(5)-C80, respectively, by X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, C1(31876)-C80 is an unprecedented cage with a pair of adjacent pentagons,...
