We have synthesized the first methanofullerene derivatives of La@C{sub 82} and shown that the metallofullerene can be functionalized while retaining its unique electronic properties. We describe the first C-C bond formation on La@C{sub 82} and characterization of the products by EPR. We are currently applying the technology to produce water-soluble metallofullerenes. 22 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
