A theoretical study on a fullerene derivative C54N4 and some of its protonated forms

Semiempirical quantum chemical calculations at the level of AM1 (restricted Hartree–Fock) have been performed on a fullerene derivative, C₅₄N₄, theoretically obtained from C₆₀ and its mono and diprotonated forms. All these structures are stable, but endothermic in nature. Some calculated geometrical and physicochemical properties of these have also been reported.
