Abstract
An analysis is carried out of the carbon clusters that may be immediate pre cursors of fullerenes Using quantum chemistry methods it is shown that thes e can be two-ring clusters with a single bond between the rings. Possible i nitial steps of the transformation of a two-ring cluster into a fullerene h ave been outlined. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
