The structural determination of endohedral metallofullerene Gd@C-82 by XANES

• Although the Gd ion in Gd@C-82 has been shown to lie above the C-C bond on the C-2 axis as an anomalous structure from the MEM/Rietveld analysis, the present XANES study reveals that it lies above the hexagon on the C-2 axis as a normal structure, and Gd oscillates around its equilibrium position with an amplitude increasing with temperature increase.
