Fullerenes as polyradicals

Electronic structure of X60 molecules (X = C, Si) is considered in terms of 60 odd electrons and spin-dependent interaction between them. Conditions for the electrons to be excluded from the covalent pairing are discussed. A computational spin-polarized quantum-chemical scheme is suggested to evaluate four parameters (energy of radicalization, exchange integral, atom spin density, and squared spin) to characterize the effect quantitatively. A polyradical character of the species, weak for C60 and strong for Si60, is established. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
