Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) have attracted much more attention since the synthesis of the most abundant EMF, Sc 3 N@C 80 , in 1999 by Dorn and co‐workers. In their Full Paper on page 8944 ff. , A. Rodríguez‐Fortea, M. Swart, M. Solà, J. M. Poblet et al. report a detailed theoretical analysis of the Diels–Alder cycloaddition of s ‐cis ‐1,3‐butadiene on Sc 3 N@C 80 and other related systems. Calculations show that the kinetic analysis is necessary to rationalize the reactivity properties of EMFs.
