Filling of single‐wall carbon nanotubes with C 59 N azafullerene derivatives is reported from toluene solvent at ambient temperature. The filling is characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The tube–azafullerene interaction is similar to the tube–C 60 interaction. The encapsulated C 59 N monomer radical is observed using electron spin resonance spectroscopy after vacuum annealing of the azafullerene derivatives. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
