Abstract
Variable temperature X-ray diffraction studies on two single crystals containing M3N@C80, i.e., Ho2LuN@C80·NiOEP·2(C6H6) and Lu3N@C80·NiOEP·2(C6H6), (NiOEP = Nickel octaethylporphyrin) unravelled the temperature dependent rotation of the M3N cluster and C80 cage on the static NiOEP molecule.
