We present calculations of van der Waals (vdW) surface area (S) and vo
lume (V) for a variety of carbon fullerence molecules ranging from C-2
0 to C-240. Also reported are calculations of the inner vdW cavity vol
ume and of the nuclear framework surface area and volume (S-n and V-n)
. The vdW radius r of a carbon atom is not uniquely defined. so our S
and V values are generated for r(min) = 1.47 Angstrom and r(max) = 1.7
6 Angstrom. Calculation of S and V at intermediate r values indicates
that simple linear interpolation between the (r(min), r(max)) limits i
s accurate to within 1%. We also find that Sn can be calculated to wit
hin 1% of the actual value for C-60 and larger fullerenes by assuming
all bonds have the C-C bond length of graphite (1.415 Angstrom).
