Fullerenes-Cages Made from Carbon

This chapter deals with cages made from carbon atoms which, for being molecular allotropes, lastingly changed the scientific view of the element Besides their esthetical structure, they feature interesting physical and chemical properties that will be discussed herein. [Pg.33]

The idea of cage-like carbon structures is by far not as new as one might believe. First theoretical considerations date back to the year 1966. The scientist D. E. H. Jones, who chose himself the pseudonym Daedalus, pubUshed theoretical treatises on fullerene-shaped objects. However, no attention of any kind was bestowed upon his speculations about hollow structures entirely made from carbon atoms. [Pg.33]

The same was true for some other theoretical approaches (especially Hiickel calculations by the Russian scientists Bokhvar and Galpern correctly predicted the TT-system of the Ca)-molecule. [Pg.33]
