The structural and electronic properties of halogenated coronenes, (C24X12;
X = F, Br, I), have been investigated theoretically by performing semiempi
rical molecular orbital theory at the level of AM1-RHF calculations. The op
timized geometries and the electronic structures of the molecules considere
d have been obtained. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
