Abstract
14 systems of metal atoms, embedded inside the C-32 cage, have been ca lculated and analyzed using the ab initio quantum chemistry Gamess pro gram. We study their electronic structure, compare their stability. Th e metal atom with even electrons interjected inside the C-32 cage is m ore stable than the metal atom with odd electrons. Ti@C-32 system is t he most stable in the 14 metallofullerenes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
