Popis: Relative concentrations of the nine IPR-based (isolated-pentagon-rule) isomers of Yb@C82 are computed from the Gibbs energy derived from partition functions supplied with parameters from density functional theory calculations. A good agreement with experiment is found at elevated temperatures where the Yb-endohedrals based on the C 2v ;9 and Cs (c);6 C82 cages exhibit comparable concentrations while the third observed species based on the C 2(c);5 cage has about one half of their populations though still a significant presence. The result is somewhat sensitive to the partition-function description.
