Abstract

Variable temperature X-ray diffraction studies on two single crystals containing M₃N@C₈₀, i.e., Ho₂LuN@C₈₀·NiOEP·2(C₆H₆) and Lu₃N@C₈₀·NiOEP·2(C₆H₆), (NiOEP = Nickel octaethylporphyrin) unravelled the temperature dependent rotation of the M₃N cluster and C₈₀ cage on the static NiOEP molecule.
