✦ Synopsis
Ab initio SCF calculations have been performed to determine the equilibrium geometry of the doubly charged firllerene, Cg .
A significant Jahn-Teller distortion is found to be operative. The adiabatic double-ionization energy for the process C&I,) +Cg (DM) is calculated to be IE,,= 18.9 eV, this number is in pleasing agreement with the recently determined energy of 19.0 eV. Our calculated vertical double-ionization energy of I&= 19.6 compares well with the result of a photon ionization experiment, 19.5 eV

Ab initio MO calculations are reported for the C,, -symmetric penetration of C6H6 and C6 H6+' by a helium atom. At the highest level of theory (MP2/6-31G"//MP2/3-21G') barriers of 10.7 and 9.4 eV are obtained. The calculated binding energy of a helium atom to benzene is negligible. These computation
