✦ Synopsis

The structure of 20-atom carbon clusters has been studied using correlated ab initio calculations with large basis sets. SCF calculations predict a monocyclic, poly-acetylene structure to be the most stable form. In contrast, a "fullerene"-type, cage struo ture is the ground state conformer at the correlated level.

The relative energies of different structures of C28 have been studied by density functional theory using different exchangecorrelation functionals, including two with exact exchange contributions. A fullerene structure with Td symmetry (5A2 state) is found to be by far the most stable structure, fo
