Clear confirmation of recent theoretical studies concerning the structure endohedral complexes formed by La and C80 is provided NMR spectroscopic investigations presented here Complex La2@C80 present, its based on unstable "empty" Ih isomer C80. The two atoms circulate inside this round cage even at room temperature (shown schematically right).

Spectroscopic analyses characterize the most stable isomers as 1,4(AA) adducts, which consist paired twist conformers at rt. The electrochemical theoretical studies reveal that HOMO-LUMO energy gaps adducts are smaller than because electron-donating groups effectively raise HOMO levels.
