The reaction of YbI 2 (THF) 2 with TPPLi 2 (TPP = 5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrin) in THF, and then with 0.5 equiv. of C 60 , which was solvated in toluene beforehand, gave the title compound {[TPPYb(μ‐OH) 2 Yb(THF)TPP] · C 60 } n , which is the first example of a rare earth metallofullerene cocrystal compound. X‐ray structural analyses indicate that this compound displays a complicated supramolecular structure, which contains some unique noncovalent interactionsbetween C 60 and the rare earth metalloporphyrin units.
