Abstract
The electronic structure and the valency of the Sc ions in the endohedral dimetallofullerene Sc 2 @C 84 with
D 2d symmetry are probed using high-energy spectroscopy. Comparison of the Sc 2p ! 3d x-ray-absorption
spectrum with calculated ionic multiplet spectra shows that the Sc ions are trivalent. Detailed multiplet calcu-lations
including covalency
