The geometry of large fullerene cages: C72 to C102

Abstract: Combining an efficient simulated annealing scheme for generating closed, hollow, spheroidal cage structures with a tight-binding molecular-dynamics method for energy optimization, the ground-state structure of every even-numbered carbon fullerene from C72 to C102 is determined. As a general trend, most ground-state structures of the large fullerenes have relatively low symmetries. In many cases, several isomers of a fullerene are found to have competitively low energies, which suggests that a mixture of these … Show more

“…26,27 The molecular structures were taken to be the predicted results by Zhang and co-workers with respect to the molecular dynamics energy optimization. 26,[28][29][30] The isotropic mean polarizabilities calculated for C 60 and C 70 are comparable to experimental data from solid film studies and quantum mechanical calculations. 26,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] Polarizability tensors were calculated for conducting ellipsoidal shells which have the same moment of inertia tensor as the corresponding fullerenes by Shanker and Applequist.…”

“…[59][60][61] Therefore, it is interesting to investigate theoretically this effect from the viewpoint of AMDI (in Å 3 , Atom monopole-dipole interaction theory; α 1 to α 3 and α), Ellipsoid (in Å 3 , α 1 to α 3 and α) and semi-axes a,b,c of a thin ellipsoidal shell of uniform thickness (in Å, abc α 1 to α 3 ) for C 20 through C 300 . 26 Study on the comparison of the AMDI results with the conducting ellipsoid and monopole interaction treatments by Olson-Sundberg AMDI theory 27 , Zhang et al [28][29][30] , Shanker and Applequist studies. [26][27][28][29][30] , had given some insight into the behavior of the AMDI model.…”
