Since the discovery of endohedral metallofullerenes, much research effort has focused on their unique electronic and electrochemical features, which vary from those of C-60, C-70 and make them potential building blocks, especially in the fields of photosynthesis and photovaltaics. Particularly, taking advantage of the rich reductive and oxidative properties of nitride clusterfullerenes, it has been proved that these fascinating compounds could act as either electron acceptor or electron donor. In this mini review, we summarize the dual electron acceptor/electron donor character of endohedral nitride clusterfullerenes and also give our view on the future studies and the open issues in this field.
