Electronic structures of the icosahedral C&H,,, hydrocarbon and its perfhroro analog, C6nF6,,, are examined at the HF/4-31G and HF/6-3 lG\*\* levels. The calculated C-C bond lengths are as large as 1.57 A in C63Hb0 and 1.63 A in CbDF60. The bond lengthening is attributed to the H-H and F-F steric in

β¦ Synopsis
An investigation concerning possible visible and UV photon emissions by gas phase C6o (and C7o) samples under electron impact excitation was carried out in the 180-750 nm spectral region. No emission from the fullerene molecules was observed. However, radiation resembling OH (A2II ~ X 2~) emission bands and H Balmer series appeared in this region.
We assigned these emissions to simultaneous ionization and excitation and subsequent radiative decay of C6oOH and C6oH adducts (which are present in the fullerene samples). These results reveal an interesting new character of buckyball adducts.
