The cyclic host cyclo-[PCu]2 carrying two covalently connected Cu(II) porphyrin units can accommodate La@C82, a paramagnetic endohedral metallofullerene, in its cavity to form the inclusion complex cyclo-[PCu]2La@C82, which can be transformed into the caged complex cage-[PCu]2La@C82 by ring-closing olefin metathesis of its side-chain olefinic termini. On the basis of electron spin resonance (ESR) and electron spin transient nutation (ESTN) studies, cyclo-[PCu]2La@C82 is the first ferromagnetically coupled inclusion complex featuring La@C82, whereas cage-[PCu]2La@C82 is ferrimagnetic.
