Abstract
Ab initio calculations on endohedral C(70)MU (Mu@C-70) using both Hart ree-Fock and density functional theory methods show that the most stab le position for muonium is not at the centre of the fullerene. Althoug h the average position of muonium is at the centre of the C-70 cage af ter allowing for zero-point motion, the non-spherically symmetric comp onents of the motion, particularly along the long axis of the molecule , provides an explanation for the observed electron-muon anisotropic c oupling constant.
