From: Endohedral fullerene with μ3-carbido ligand and titanium-carbon double bond stabilized inside a carbon cage

Figure 3

(a) A view of the structure of TiLu2C@Ih-C80·Ni(OEP)·2(toluene) with hydrogen atoms omitted for clarity; only the predominant Ti and Lu positions are shown. Displacement parameters are shown at the 50% probability level. (b) The structure of the major TiLu2C cluster with X-ray determined bond lengths and bond angles. The numbers in red are the displacements of the atoms from the plane of the TiLu2C unit. (c) The view showing the interactions of the metal ions with the closest portions of the cage. The dotted circle marked X represents the centre of the C80 cage.
