THE FRONTIER ORBITALS OF BUCKMINSTERFULLERENE C60

The frontier orbitals HOMO and LUMO of the fullerene C;hasbeen given in a system of 60 motion-coordinates, of which each origin is ateach C atom of fullerene C;and each z-axis is in the directionperpendicular to C;’S spherical surface. In this motion-coordinate systemthe HOMO and LUMO of fullerene C;obviously display characteristics ofspherical n-molecular orbitals π;. The Fenske-Hall quantum-chemical methodis used in calculation for the electronic structure of the fullerene C;.
