The family of endohedral fullerenes has been significantly expanded by the discovery of endohedral mixed metal nitride clusterfullerenes (MMNCFs). MMNCF is a special family of endohedral fullerenes which encage a nitride cluster comprising of two to three different metal atoms. In this review, the discovery, syn-thesis and separation methods of MMNCFs together with a brief classification of MMNCFs are first given. Then the structure elucidation methods for MMNCFs reported up to date are introduced, and  the molecular structures of MMNCFs are iscussed in detail. Finally the special electronic, physical and chemical properties of MMNCFs are focused. Furthermore, an outlook for the potential applications of MMNCFs is proposed, given that two to three metal atoms with different physical properties are encaged within MMNCFs, thus formed MMNCFs may achieve the superior property as the combination of their different properties, and hence become a multifunc-tional materials.
