Abstract: The structural parameters of Eu@C60 isomers and thesquared electron spin <Ŝ2> have been calculatedusing the quantum-chemical DFT (U)PBE0 method with variable quantum numbersMS. The (C2v) isomer (MS = 7/2,<Ŝ2> = 15.76 a. u.) includes a triatomicEuC2 fragment with a degraded C=C bond (2.565 Å),common for two 6-atom cycles. Two (C3v) isomers (MS = 7/2±1,<Ŝ2> = 17.76±7.01 a. u.) include thehexagonal pyramid EuC6. The energies of the isomersdiffer by no more than 0.046 eV. The energy barriers allow pseudo-rotation ofthe molecule. The Eu endo atom increases the reactivity of the carbon shell ofC60 and stabilizes the(Eu@C60)2 nano-dumbbell. The<Ŝ2> values are 56 and 90 a. u. for thestructures of similar energy, (Ci)-(Eu@η2-C60)2and (Ci)-(Eu@η6-C60)2,with Eu∙∙∙Eu distances of 10.35 and 10.08 Å, respectively.
