Abstract

We describe the first example of scandium dimetallofullerenes, Sc₂@C_3v(8)-C₈₂, which has the same cage as the previously assigned scandium carbide cluster fullerene Sc₂C₂@C_3v(8)-C₈₂ but they exhibit distinctly different electronic configurations and electronic behaviours, confirming the drastic influence of the internal C₂ unit.
