The Jahn-Teller Effect in C60 and Other Icosahedral Complexes

by M.C.M. O'Brien, C.C. Chancey, M. C.M. O'Brien, et al.

Because of the high symmetry involved, the Jahn-Teller effect is the natural starting point for considering electron-phonon (or vibronic) interactions in icosahedral molecules. This work is the first comprehensive theoretical analysis of the Jahn-Teller interaction in C60 and other icosahedral complexes. The importance of this research derives in part from the increasing, widespread interest in C60 and other molecular clusters and their...
