| Abstract: | Abstract A simple analysis on the intramolecular transfer of an injected electron into C60 and C70 has been performed based on the concept of orbital interaction. This analysis contains the partitioning of each fullerene into three parts and the examination of the frontier molecular orbital interaction for propagation of an injected electron into the whole Cgo or C70 molecule. This electron transfer process is shown to be “one-way” from energetical point of view. |
