We report the single-crystal X-ray structure of La@C70(CF3)3, which was obtained through in situ exohedral functionalization by means of trifluoromethylation [1]. The X-ray crystallographic study reveals that La@C70(CF3)3 is the first example of an endohedral rare-earth fullerene based onD5h-C70. The dramatically enhanced stability of La@C70(CF3)3 compared to La@C70 can be ascribed to trifluoromethylation-induced bandgap enlargement.
