Title: Unusual pentagon and hexagon geometry of three isomers (no 1, 20, and 23) of fullerene C<sub>84</sub>.
Authors: Khamatgalimov, Ayrat R.; Luzhetskii, Andrey V.; Kovalenko, Valeri I.
Abstract: Three isomers 23 (D2d), 1 (D2), and 20 (Td) of fullerene C84 have been investigated by PM3, HF/6-31G*, and DFT methods with B3LYP functional at the 6-31G and 6-31G* levels. In this article we reveal for the first time that some distortion of hexagon (pentagon), measured as its maximal dihedral angles, caused by local molecular strains may serve as a new criterion of stability of fullerenes with closed shell. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
