Graphical Abstract

Effect of the endohedral species: With the successful isolation of LuY2N§C80 and Lu2YN§C80—the first mixed metal clusterfullerenes not to involve Sc, the effect of the encaged cluster size on the structure of the carbon cage is addressed: the increase in cluster size is found to result in an increase of the pyramidalization of pyrene-type carbon atoms and the upfield shift of corresponding 13C NMR signals.
