Metallofullerenes Encaging Mixed‐Metal Clusters: Synthesis and Structural Studies of GdxHo3−xN@C80 and GdxLu3−xN@C80

Abstract Metallofullerenes of Gd x Ho 3− x N@C 80 and Gd x Lu 3− x N@C 80 encapsulating mixed‐metal nitride clusters were synthesized. Spectroscopic characterization of Gd x Ho 3− x N@C 80 and Gd x Lu 3− x N@C 80 was employed to reveal their structural and vibrational properties. The structural properties of these species were analyzed by using theoretical calculations. The studies of Gd x Ho 3− x N@C 80 and Gd x Lu 3− x N@C 80 laid the foundations for these species to be used as multifunctional molecules.
