Graphical Abstract

Ball and plane: The structure of La@C82 was clarified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of samples co-crystallized with [NiII(OEP)] (OEP=octaethylporphyrin; see structure La red, N blue, Ni yellow, H pink). The charge-carrier mobility of the co-crystal was determined using flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements. The material exhibited an anisotropic and high electron mobility of up to 0.9 cm2 V−1 s−1.
