La2@C80 is a metallofullerene, which means it consists of a fullerene cage C80 with two lanthanum La atoms encapsulated inside. The coordination geometry of the La2@C80 can be described as a "dimetallic cluster" inside the fullerene cage. The two La atoms are not directly bonded to the carbon atoms of the fullerene cage. Instead, they interact with the cage through weak van der Waals forces and charge transfer interactions. The La atoms are separated by a distance of approximately 3.6 , and they are not directly bonded to each other.In LaC2@C80, there is a single La atom and a C2 unit encapsulated inside the C80 fullerene cage. The La atom is bonded to the C2 unit, forming a LaC2 cluster. The coordination geometry around the La atom can be described as a "pseudotetrahedral" geometry, with the La atom at the center and the two carbon atoms of the C2 unit and two carbon atoms of the fullerene cage as the vertices. The bonding between the La atom and the C2 unit is covalent, and the La atom also interacts with the fullerene cage through weak van der Waals forces and charge transfer interactions.In summary, the main differences between the bonding in La2@C80 and LaC2@C80 are:1. La2@C80 has two La atoms encapsulated inside the C80 cage, while LaC2@C80 has one La atom and a C2 unit encapsulated inside the cage.2. In La2@C80, the La atoms are not directly bonded to the carbon atoms of the fullerene cage, while in LaC2@C80, the La atom is covalently bonded to the C2 unit and interacts with the cage through weak van der Waals forces and charge transfer interactions.3. The coordination geometry of La2@C80 is a dimetallic cluster, while the coordination geometry of LaC2@C80 is pseudotetrahedral around the La atom.
