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 c
