Abstract

The particular stability of recently synthesized C₅₀Cl ₁₀ cage is discussed by means of its topology: the underlying C ₅₀ cage consists of two corannulene frameworks which are connected by five C₂ units. C₅₀X₁₀ is another lower fullerene which has not been found experimentally in its bare form. Oligomerization and polymerization of C₅₀ and C₅₀H _x are investigated. A minimum energy pathway to a D_5h (C₅₀)₆H₄₀ structure is found. C₅₀ is a candidate structure to form oligomers and fullerides. The preferred bridging positions and the 5-fold symmetry suggest the formation of irregular polymers and oligomers.
