摘要: Abstract We present the results of a semiempirical study C60 (Ih, D6h, C3v, C3, D5), C76 (Td, D2, C3) and C84, C3v) fullerenes their isomer skeletal rearrangements. have proposed four different intramolecular rearrangements in fullerenes. The interconversion between two isomeric fullerene are carried out by these 2-D Schlegel diagrams with symmetry analysis for used to find possible reaction mechanism geometry interconversion. use methods MNDO MM2 (which implemented Spartan 3.1 program) compute heats formation, steric strain energy, electronic structure Δɛ (HOMO-LUMO) carbon cages. Estimates presented activation energy enthalpy change isomerization. transition states also generated. suggest that C60Ih), C76(D2) C84 (D6h) global minimum (7 isomers), C76, (3 isomers) respect...
