AN ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF ISOTOPOMERIC ENUMERATIONS FOR C-2V CYCLIC ODD-NUMBERED CARBON CLUSTERS C-N

The current experimental and computational research in carbon dusters pointed out a need for enumeration of all possible C-12/C-13 isotopome rs of the C-2v cyclic odd-numbered carbon clusters C-n. It is shown th at the number of the isotopomers is given by 2(k-1)(2(k-1) + 1) with k = (n + 1)/2. Some illustrative computed structure and energy data for the clusters are reported, too.
