Abstract
The possibility of a proton entering a fullerene cage without breaking any C-C bond and undergoing oscillations through the cage is considered. A deta iled understanding of the interaction of a proton with the five- and six-me mbered rings is obtained by examining proton-corannulene interaction, as a prototype. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
