Series of compounds with Sc3N@Ih-C80 in neutral, monomeric and dimeric anion states was obtained in a crystalline form allowing one to study their molecular structure, optical and magnetic properties. Neutral Sc3N@Ih-C80.3C6H4Cl2 (1) and (Sc3N@Ih-C80)3(TPC)2.5C6H4Cl2 (2, TPC is triptycene) compounds are crystallized in high-symmetry trigonal structure. Reduction of Sc3N@Ih-C80 to the radical anions results in their dimerization forming diamagnetic singly-bonded (Sc3N@Ih-C80(-))2 dimers. We synthesized new dimeric phases in which only one major occupied dimer orientation was found. Thermal stability of the dimers was studied by EPR technique to show their dissociation in the 400-460 K range producing monomeric Sc3N@Ih-C80(.-) radical anions. This signal showed hyperfine splitting with average separation of 5.8 mT due to hfi of spin with scandium atoms. The energy of intercage C-C bond was estimated to be 234 ± 7 kJ/mol, the highest value among negatively charged fullerene dimers. EPR spectra of crystalline (Bu3MeP+)3(Sc3N@Ih-C80(.-))3.C6H4Cl2 (6) were presented. Hyperfine splitting is manifested above 180 K due to hfi of spin with three scandium atoms (totally 22 lines with average splitting of 5.32 mT are observed at 220 K). Besides this each of 22 lines is additionally split into six lines with average 0.82 mT separation. Large splitting indicates essential charge and spin density transfer from the fullerene cage to the Sc3N cluster inside Sc3N@Ih-C80(.-).
