Research demonstrates vibrational spectra of endohedral fullerenes, complicating their detection in space.
This study presents the first gas-phase vibrational spectra of endohedral fullerenes with an IR-active guest. The spectra look remarkably similar to those of the empty fullerenes, which will make astronomical detection using IR emission challenging.
