Photochemical reactions of Lu3N@Ih-C80 with disiliranes 1 and 2 produce several isomeric adducts. Spectroscopic analyses characterize the most stable isomers as 1,4(AA) adducts, which consist of paired twist conformers at rt. The electrochemical and theoretical studies reveal that the HOMO鈥揕UMO energy gaps of the 1,4(AA) adducts are smaller than that of Lu3N@Ih-C80 because the electron-donating groups effectively raise the HOMO levels.
