Semi-empirical UNDO methods predict that 2 of 23 structurally distinct C6& isomers and 4 of 143 C7uH2 isomers have particularly low heats of formation. These isomers represent either 1 ,t-addition across a 6: 6-ring fusion or 1,4-addition across a ii-ring, with both hydrogens externally bound. Fully

โฆ Synopsis
The energetics of the loss of C2 units from Cw and C,a has been extensively studied experimentally, but no consensus has yet been reached as to the energy of C2 dissociation from these fullerenes. We have used the Hat-tree-Fock self-consistent field theory and a hybrid of Hartree-Fock and density functional theory to calculate the C2 dissociation energy for Cso and Cro. Our best theoretical predictions are 11.8 and 11.5 eV, respectively.

The simplest statistical theory in which the mass spectral fragmentation pattern is governed by the mean energy is applied to fragmentation of C~o and C6o. The results are compared with experimental fragmentation spectra obtained in collisions between C~o and atomic targets and in photoionisation/fr
Photo-transformation of G, C,,,, C,O, and C,Os in toluene results in destruction of these species. CW and CT0 are transformed with equal rates to form C,O and C,OO. No higher oxides of these fullerenes are formed. C,O is destroyed twice as fast and &,,02 approximately 40-50 times faster than Cs Prod
The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of C6" and CT0 in toluene, as films on silicon and as KBr pellet, were obtained as a function of temperature. Different emission profiles are observed between the fullerenes in solution and in the solid form. The PL spectra of the C&solids are similar regardless of
