The relative energies of 18 isomers of C6oH 6 have been determined through geometry-optimized ab initio calculations. HF/6-31G\* computations on the two lowest energy structures determined at the HF/3-21G level indicate that 1,2,4,11,15,30-C6oH 6 (18, with a C6oBr6-1ike structure) lies only 0.4 kcal

✦ Synopsis
The ground-state potential energy surface of C6H63-+ was explored by ab initio molecular orbital calculations using the split valence 3-21G basis set. Various isomers were located as minima, the most stable corresponding to the fulvene tricat-.... 0 -1 3+ • • ion (1). The heat of formation of 1 Is estimated as AH~ = 1046 kcal mole .
