The structural determination of endohedral metallofullerenes has attracted special attention in disclosing the formation mechanism and developing new routes to bulk production. Recent advances in the theoretical and experimental studies are summarized with representative mono- and dimetallofullerenes such as M@C82 (M=Ca, Sc, Y, and La), Sc2@C84, and La2@C80.
