A double shell of Platonic solids: A trajectory that connects the six-membered rings of Ih -C80 is followed by the two La atoms of La2 @C80 according to maximum entropy/Rietveld analysis of the synchrotron powder-diffraction data. The result is a pentagonal-dodecahedral charge-density distribution for La2 (brown in the picture) inside the icosahedral C80 cage (green).
