Dysprosium oxide clusterfullerenes Dy<sub>2</sub>O@C<sub>s</sub>(10528)-C<sub>72</sub> and Dy<sub>2</sub>O@C<sub>2</sub>(13333)-C<sub>74</sub> are synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Carbon cages of both molecules feature two adjacent pentagon pairs. These pentalene units determine positions of endohedral Dy ions hence the shape of the Dy<sub>2</sub>O cluster, which is bent in Dy<sub>2</sub>O@C<sub>72</sub> but linear in Dy<sub>2</sub>O@C<sub>74</sub>. Both compoun ...[more]
