A double shell of Platonic solids : A trajectory that connects the six‐membered rings of I h ‐C 80 is followed by the two La atoms of La 2 @C 80 according to maximum entropy/Rietveld analysis of the synchrotron powder‐diffraction data. The result is a pentagonal‐dodecahedral charge‐density distribution for La 2 (brown in the picture) inside the icosahedral C 80 cage (green).
