Carbon‐encapsulating metallofullerenes: A C 2 molecule is entrapped in the pentagonal‐dodecahedral charge density of Y 2 in Y 2 C 2 @C 82 (III) according to the maximum entropy/Rietveld analysis of the synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction data, which clearly show an additional charge‐density peak for C 2 (blue) inside the pentagonal‐dodecahedral Y 2 cage (red) in Y 2 C 2 @C 82 (III) (picture, left) but not in Y 2 @C 82 (III) (right).
