A simple description of the interaction potential between a small molecule and a fullerene 60 cage is discussed on the basis of the continuum approximation. General conditions are obtained for the validity of this continuum approximation and for the confinement mechanism of the molecule inside (or outside) the cage. Application to the insertion of alkali metal ions and rare gas atoms shows that these conditions can adequately interpret the equilibrium positions of inside (outside) adducts, the adsorption energy and the collision experiments between the ions and atoms and the C60 cage.
