Abstract
The MNDO approximation is employed to compute normal modes of vibration for the proposed C/sub 60/ isomer known as buckminsterullerene. Group theoretical invariance theorems are derived to aid in the interpretation of the normal modes. One particularly interesting mode (the sole A/sub u/ vibration) consists of a rotary oscillation of the pentagonal rings of C/sub 60/, with all rings rotating in the same direction.
