β¦ Synopsis
The topological resonance energies (TRE) for various fullerene clusters ( C2a to C,) have been computed and based on this, stabilities of fttllerenes are discussed. Trend in stability predicted by the TRE model is compared with predictions from the conjugated circuit model as well as the MNDO and ab initio methods. Reasonable agreement is found between the TRE model and rigorous quantum mechanical methods.

## Abstract The topological resonance energy (TRE) model was introduced independently by the Zagreb Group (in 1975) and by Aihara (in 1976). Several practical obstacles arise in the computation of TRE. Ways to surmount them are pointed out. Descriptions of algorithms, optimizations, and the efficie
Relative yields of C fullerene isomers are very sensitive to He pressure 78 in the graphite vaporization chamber. This phenomenon can be explained in terms of the Ε½ . bond resonance energy BRE , a measure of kinetic stability proposed by us. It was found that the thermodynamically most stable isomer
