La@C72 having a non-IPR carbon cage.

We show here that La@C72 has a non-IPR cage, unique electronic properties, and high reactivity by the spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analysis and the theoretical study. The isolation of La@C72 as a stable derivative might constitute an important stepping-stone on the way to isolation of these unknown metallofullerenes and open new material science of metallofullerenes.

Missing metallofullerene La@C74.

The first isolation of missing metallofullerene, La@C74, as a derivative is reported. The structural determination has been performed by spectroscopic and, finally, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and the properties of La@C74 are discussed on the basis of the theoretical study.
