✦ Synopsis
In view of the growing interest in endohedral lanthanide fullerenes, the electronic structure and properties of CeCel are investigated as an example from a theoretical point of view. Unlike current expectation, it is suggested that the electronic state is formally described as Ce2+CiF. In order to characterize the electronic properties, the ionization energy and electron aflinity are compared with those of the ScCa2, YCs2 and LaCa2 as well as the empty fullerenes Cso, CT,,, CT6 and Cs2. Endohedral metallofullerenes can be regarded as a sort of 'super atom'.
