Evolution of the structural and electronic properties of molecular fullerides with change in valence state

Caption

Despite the presence of strong correlations, the newly synthesized fulleride (box) continues to behave like a weak metal, by passing the transition to an insulating state and continuing to conduct electrons, even when reduced to cryogenic temperatures. Other materials are shown for comparison.
