Abstract

A new approach is proposed to the construction of non-carbon, fullerene-like curved moleculer surfaces. A series of saturated, multi-beamed and double-layered structures (SiC)n (1), each consisting of a Sin sphere enclosing a Cn sphere with Si-C σ-bonds connecting the spheres, are studied by using AM1-SCF-MO method. (SiC)60 appears to be the most viable species worthwhile for experimental tests.
