Due to the heterometallic synergistic effects from different metals, heterometallic clusters are
of great importance in small-molecule activation and catalysis. For example, both biological …

The elucidation of geometries is the fundamental to further investigate and develop fullerene
chemistry, an epoch-making discipline since 1985. Although the geometries of fullerenes …

Metal–metal bonding is a widely studied area of chemistry,–, and has become a mature field
spanning numerous d transition metal and main group complexes,,–. By contrast, actinide …

Engineering intramolecular exchange interactions between magnetic metal atoms is a
ubiquitous strategy for designing molecular magnets. For lanthanides, the localized nature …

Metal complexes bearing single-electron metal–metal bonds (SEMBs) exhibit unusual
electronic structures evoking strong magnetic coupling, and such bonds can be stabilized in …

Understanding metal-metal bonding involving f-block elements has been a challenging goal
in chemistry. Here we report a series of mixed-valence di-metallofullerenes, ThDy@ C2 n (2 …

There is continued burgeoning interest in metal–metal multiple bonding to further our
understanding of chemical bonding across the periodic table. However, although polar …

Lanthanide dimetallofullerenes with single-electron M–M bonds are an important class of
single molecular magnets and qubit candidates, but stabilization of their unique electronic …

Actinide diatomic molecules are ideal models to study elusive actinide multiple bonds, but
most of these diatomic molecules have so far only been studied in solid inert gas matrices …

Conspectus Fullerene carbon cages can encapsulate a wide variety of atoms, ions, clusters,
or small molecules inside, resulting in stable compounds with unusual structures and …
