5. Conclusions LDF atomization energies are significantly greater for icosahedral Clm and Cw, than for icosahedral Cm Both of these larger fullerenes have only slightly smaller HOMO- LUMO gaps and ionization potentials than Cbo. Cso has an electron affinity that is smaller than the electron affinities of Ciao and CZ4 by 0.7 and 0.8 eV, respectively. Thus, we see no energetic barrier to the creation of these two larger Ih fullerenes. If these two larger ...
