Abstract
Arrangements of carbon atoms in cage-like structures with no dangling bonds are considered as possible novel allotropic forms of carbon. Five different C 60 cages, having certain favorable structural characteristics, are identified. Quantitative resonance-theoretic calculations are made and compared to simpe Hückel results. The favored structure is found to be the so-called Buckminsterfullerene structure.
