Inspired by the experimental investigation of FeN 4 substituted carbon nanotubes, novel hollow‐based nanoclusters are designed by substitution of one or more (up to six) C 2 C 4 fragments in the atomic lattice of C 60 fullerene by MN 4 groups (M = Mg, Fe, Zn). Vladimir A. Pomogaev, Pavel V. Avramov, Alex A. Kuzubov, and Victor Ya. Artyukhov (DOI: 10.1002/qua.24840 ) report that the energetic stability of the clusters is secured by the antiaromaticity of the electronic structure of MN 4 fragments. The Fe‐based nanoclusters bear extremely high spin states and can be used as molecular supermagnets or catalysts.
