First, I discuss the possible encapsulation of Li, C, and N atoms in C36 based on DFT calculations. X@C36 (X= Li and C) is expected to exist in the form of a heterodimer, X@C36-C36. Various isomers are in equilibrium, and the equilibriation is accompanied by spin generation/quenching or spin transfer between two fullerene units. Second, I show that C58N12 can exist, just as C48N12 does. In addition, oxygenation, hydrogenation, and nitrogen encapsulation of the two N-doped fullerenes are investigated in comparison with those of C60 and C70. Third, I also discuss the substitutional doping of a born or nitrogen atom in Sc3N@Cn (n = 68 and 80) in comparison with that in C60.
