Large scale Hartree-Fock calculations were performed to estimate the thermodynamic stability of the recently proposed spheroidal C,, molecule ("Buckminsterfullerene") relative to a sixty-atom single sheet of graphite. The molecular geometry as well as the ionization potential and electron affinity o
The rotational cutoff levels of C,( B' 'Z:, u" = 1,2), produced in the multiphoton dissociation of jet-cooled acetylene at 193 nm, have been measured using laser-induced fluorescence. This data is used to calculate the values AHf,,(C2) = 194.8iO.5 kcal/ mol and D,(CC-H) = 112.0 kO.8 kcal/mol, in exc
The heat of formation of HO2 has been determined using highly accurate ab initio calculations. Our computed value is 3.5 +0.5 kcal/mol at 0 K (or 2.8kO.5 kcal/mol at 298 K). The accuracy of the current result is estimated on the basis of calibration calculations on Hz, OH, H,O, 02, and H202, which a
