Abstract

The endohedral structure of Isolated Pentagon Rule(IPR) violated scandium metallofullerene Sc2@C66 is determined by the maximum entropy method (MEM) combined with the Rietveld method using synchrotron radiation powder data. The result reveals for the assistance of the fused pentagon first time. The fused pentagon locates close to the encapsulated Sc-dimmers. The Charge state of the encaged dimmer is also determined Sc22+@C662- form the MEM charge density. The Sc-Sc distance in Sc2 cluster is 2.87(9) Å.
