Bulk amounts of La C[sub 82] and Gd C[sub 82] have been isolated in pure form from various hollow fullerenes. Magnetization data for these powder samples, an isolated La C[sub 82] isomer and a Gd C[sub 82] isomer, have been obtained employing a SQUID magnetometer at temperatures ranging from 3 to 300 K. For La C[sub 82] the inverse susceptibility as a function of temperature follows a Curie-Weiss law. The effective magnetic moment per La C[sub 82] is 0.38 [mu][sub B]. For Gd C[sub 32] the magnetization data fall on a universal curve which is fitted to a Brillouin function in correspondence with the Gd[sup 3+] free ion ground state values of J = 3.38 and g = 2. 33 refs., 6 figs.
