## Abstract A new family of endohedral fullerenes, based on an encaged trithulium nitride (Tm~3~N) cluster, was synthesised, isolated and characterised by HPLC, mass spectrometry, and visible‐NIR and FTIR spectroscopy. Tm~3~N clusterfullerenes with cages as small as C~76~ and as large as C~88~ were
