The electronic states and the bond lengths of the truncated icosahedral C,, molecule have been calculated by the Htickel and Coulson-Golebiewski self-consistent Htickel methods. C,, has a stable closed shell with a rather big energy gap ( = 0.847 p) between the HOMO and the LUMO. We have obtained tw

✦ Synopsis
The PPP CI molecular-orbital theory for three-dimensional systems has been applied to study the UV spectrum of the truncated icosahedral CeO molecule. We have found that only the one-electron transitions to T,, symmetry (4.2270,4.7498 and 6.5182 eV) have oscillator strengths different from zero. Using a bond-order-bond-length relation in SCF iteration connected to the PPP method, we have obtained two kinds of bond lengths r, = 1.439 A and rz = 1.398 A, which correspond to the edges of the regular pentagon and the edge of a hexagon not lying on a pentagon,

The electronic structure of the truncated-icosahedral Cbo cluster ("footballene") is theoretically examined by performing a linear muffin-tin orbitals (LMTO) calculation.
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.
