Abstract
The reaction of YbI~2~(THF)~2~ with TPPLi~2~ (TPP = 5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrin) in THF, and then with 0.5 equiv. of C~60~, which was solvated in toluene beforehand, gave the title compound {[TPPYb(μ‐OH)~2~Yb(THF)TPP]·C~60~}~n~, which is the first example of a rare earth metallofullerene cocrystal compound. X‐ray structural analyses indicate that this compound displays a complicated supramolecular structure, which contains some unique noncovalent interactionsbetween C~60~ and the rare earth metalloporphyrin units.
