Al. Chistyakov et Iv. Stankevich, ON ETA(5)-PI-COMPLEXES OF C-70 AND SOME OF ITS CYCLOPENTADIENYL DERIVATIVES WITH LI ATOMS - MNDO SIMULATION, Fullerene science and technology, 6(6), 1998, pp. 1069-1078
The molecular and electronic structure of hypothetical eta(5)-complexe
s of C-70 and its cyclopentadienyl derivatives such as C70R5, C70R10 a
nd C60X10 (R = H, Cl, Br; X = B, N, Al, P) with Li are discussed. It w
as proposed that atoms R were attached to the a-positions of one (two)
polar pentagon(s) of prolated shape fullerene (D-5h)-C-70, and atoms
X substituted atoms C in same sites. It was established that the compl
exes under consideration were more stable systems in comparison with u
nsubstituted C-70. The MNDO method was used. The results obtained are
generalizing theoretical studies of electron stucture of similar compl
exes of fullerene C-60 and its derivatives such as C60R5 and C55X5.
