Abstract: | Geometrical and electronic structures of C35X fullerenes with , N and Si as substitutional dopants have been studied. Three non-equivalent sites in the D6h structure of C36 have been considered for the substitution. We have found that the dopant has a strong tendency to substitute at sites where the carbon atom contributes significantly to the frontier orbitals of C36 and has the weakest interaction with its nearest-neighbor atoms. The relative stability of C35Si and C35B (C35N) has been investigated and high chemical reactivity of C35Si has been predicted. Received 8 July 1999 and Received in final form 4 October 1999 |
