title: Pyramidalization of Gd3N inside a C80 cage. The synthesis and structure of Gd3N@C80.
abstract: The X-ray crystal structure of Gd(3)N@C(80).Ni(II)(OEP).1.5(benzene) shows that the Gd(3)N unit within the I(h) C(80) cage is pyramidal, whereas Sc(3)N@C(80), Sc(3)N@C(78), Sc(3)N@C(68), Lu(3)N@C(80) and Sc(2)ErN@C(80) have planar M(3)N units.
