Access to a chiral C 82 cage : Encaging a divalent samarium atom has provided access to an unexplored chiral cage of C 2 (5)‐C 82 that has never been reported for trivalent M@C 82 or empty fullerenes. Inside this cage, a wandering Sm atom has been identified using crystallographic methods. In addition, electrochemical studies of Sm@ C 2 (5)‐C 82 have been performed to explore its oxidation properties (see figure).
