“…Interestingly, metal-containing organic molecules (with metals such as Mg, Na, Al, K, Fe, and Ca) have been detected in the circumstellar environments of evolved stars, where C 60 has also been confirmed to exist. [11][12][13] Undeniable examples of these metal-organic molecules include MgNC, NaCN, CaNC, etc., implying that organic species and metals can coexist in the circumstellar environment and form more complex metalorganic species. 2,14,15 In addition, the circumstellar medium of evolved stars is rich in terms of metal abundances, 16,17 making it plausible that in a medium which is rich in both fullerenes and metals, metallofullerenes can also form and exist.…”
