Abstract
An approximate force field previously developed for condensed aromatics is adapted to footballene, a C60 molecule of icosahedral symmetry. The 46 vibrational frequencies are calculated. For a general introduction to the interesting (hypothetical) C60 molecule called “footballene” it is referred to another paper in this issue [3], In the present work the reported symmetry coordinates [3] are used to calculate the assigned vibrational frequencies of footballene.Keywords
