Abstract

Although the Gd ion in Gd@C₈₂ has been shown to lie above the C–C bond on the C₂ axis as an anomalous structure from the MEM/Rietveld analysis, the present XANES study reveals that it lies above the hexagon on the C₂ axis as a normal structure, and Gd oscillates around its equilibrium position with an amplitude increasing with temperature increase.
