Bingel-Hirsch reactions of trimetallic nitride clusterfullerenes (NCFs) generally yield methanofullerene (cyclopropane) adducts instead of singly bonded derivatives, which have been reported for monometallofullerenes. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of the Bingel-Hirsch derivative of a mixed metal nitride clusterfullerene (MMNCF) TiY2 N@Ih -C80 . Surprisingly, in contrast to the reported Bingel-Hirsch cyclopropane adducts of the analogous NCF Y3 N@Ih -C80 , the Bingel-Hirsch derivative of TiY2 N@Ih -C80 is the first singly bonded monoadduct (labeled as TiY2 N@C80 -Mono) to be reported, which was determined unambiguously by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Besides, the reactivity of TiY2 N@Ih -C80 was found to be significantly improved relative to that of Y3 N@Ih -C80 . Upon substituting one endohedral yttrium (Y) atom of Y3 N@Ih -C80 with titanium (Ti), the Bingel-Hirsch derivative changes from the cyclopropane to the singly bonded monoadduct, revealing that not only the reactivity but also the addition pattern of NCFs can be manipulated simultaneously through one endohedral metal atom substitution.

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) have novel structures and properties that are closely associated with the internal metallic species. Benzyl radical additions have been previously shown to form closed-shell adducts by attaching an odd number of addends to open-shell EMFs (such as Sc3 C2 @Ih -C80 ) whereas an even number of groups are added to closed-shell EMFs (for example Sc3 N@Ih -C80 ). Herein we report that benzyl radical addition to the closed-shell La2 @Ih -C80 forms a stable, open-shell monoadduct instead of the anticipated closed-shell bisadduct.

Bis-silylated and bis-germylated derivatives of Lu3 N@Ih -C80 (3, 4, 5) were successfully synthesized by the photochemical addition of disiliranes 1 a, 1 b or digermirane 2, and fully characterized by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and theoretical studies. Interestingly, digermirane 2 reacts more efficiently than disiliranes 1 a and 1 b because of its good electron-donor properties and lower steric hindrance around the Ge-Ge bond. The 1,4-adduct structures of 3, 4, 5 were unequivocally established by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses.

By combining two chemical methods of purification, 4 mg of purified CeLu2 N@C80 was readily isolated from 500 mg of carbon soot extract without the use of recycling HPLC, a method which has previously been necessary to obtain pure samples of endohedral fullerenes. In stage 1, CeLu2 N@C80 was selectively precipitated by virtue of its low first oxidation potential (+0.01 V) and the judicious choice of MgCl2 as the Lewis acid precipitant.
