Spider hanging inside a carbon cage: off-center shift and pyramidalization of Sc3N clusters inside C84 and C86 fullerene cages.

Metal nitride cluster fullerenes (NCFs) are the most intensively studied endohedral fullerenes due to their exceptional structural varieties. It is commonly understood that in NCFs, small clusters such as Sc3N...
