✦ Synopsis

Theoretical evidence is presented for the stability or C,21, and C,, molaulcs consisting or sp2 hy-hridiztd cnrhon ;11oms onI)-. These spherical shell molecules have the s~ruc~urcs or two or the thirteen Archimsdcan solids. Simple Hijckel molecular orhim calculations show thar there is a large. stabilizing. delocnliwtion cnsrgy.
