I. Details of NMR calculations.

For the Sc2C2@C68 2 and Sc2@C70 1 (Fig. S4), NMR chemical shielding

tensors were evaluated employing the gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO)

method at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. Based on the computed chemical

shielding tensors, theoretical 13C NMR chemical shifts were calculated relative to C60

and converted to the TMS (tetramethylsilane) scale using the experimental value for

C60 (142.5 ppm).[S1] The GIAO-B3LYP/6-31G* theory proved to be sufficiently

accurate in reproducing 13C NMR chemical shifts of fullerenes such as C60, C70, C76

and C78,[S2] and metallofullerenes such as Sc3N@C80.[S3] The computed 13C NMR

chemical shifts of Sc2C2@C68 2 and Sc2@C70 1 are given in Table S3, along with the

average data for Sc2C2@C68 2. The computed 13C NMR chemical shift range of ∆δ

=29.3 ppm (from 130.1 to 159.4 ppm) for Sc2@C70 1, is much larger than the

observed range of ∆δ =21.6 ppm (from 135.6 to 157.2 ppm) for the synthesized

Sc2C70. So far as its intramolecular dynamics is considered, 1 would display 5 13C

NMR signals ranging from 137.6 to 145.2 ppm (Table S3). On the contrary, the

computed 13C NMR chemical shift range is ∆δ =26.4 ppm (from 133.5 to 159.9 ppm

except that of the acetylide group) for Sc2C2@C68 2, very close to the observed one.

Based on the computed 13C NMR chemical shift, a simulated 13C NMR spectrum of 2

is given in Fig. S5, along with the experimental spectrum.
