Electronic Structure Calculations on Fullerenes and Their Derivatives

This volume offers a comprehensive overview of approaches employed in contemporary electronic structure calculations on fullerenes, giving readers the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of theoretical methodology. The remainder of the book is organized around individual classes of chemical systems: the medium-size fullerenes; large carbon clusters; hypothetical allotropic forms of carbon; small fullerenes; endohedral complexes; heterofullerenes; fullerenes derivatives; and solid-state fullerenes. A summary of present accomplishments and future directions provides the closing remarks.
