The first reactions of trimetallic nitride templated endohedral metallofullerenes (TNT EMFs) with carbon radicals generated from diethyl malonate catalyzed by manganese(III) acetate are reported. Two methano monoadducts, Sc3N@C80-A and Sc3N@C80-B, were isolated and characterized. Sc3N@C80-A contains two ester moieties, whereas
