The computations of the electronic structures and properties of a novel crowned [60] fulleropyrrolidine （CFP） were performed by means of AM1 methods. It has been indicated that CFP has four isomers in which the dihedral angle between phenyl group and pyrrolidine ring is around ±90°. The study of electronic structures showed that the energy levels of frontier orbitals are determined mainly by C60. C60 acted as an electronic acceptor, whereas crown ether acted as an electronic donor, which implies that there exists intramolecular charge transfer effect in this molecule. The study of nonlinear optical properties implied that the hyperpolarizability of CFP can match that of p-nitroaniline. In the meantime, the hyperpolarizability properties of CFP could be influenced by the orientation of crown ether moiety.
The intermolecular interactions in alkali-doped C60 solids, A3-x-yA’xA"yC60(A, A’, A" =alkali; x + y ≤3), have been calculated, and their correlations with the structures and the superconducting transition temperaturesTc have also been investigated. It is found that the variations of the lattice constants a0 of A3-x-yA’x A"yC60 solids and the superconducting transition temperatures Tc can be satisfactorily explained from the viewpoint of interaction. It is shown that the relationship of Tc with interaction is much closer than that of Tc with lattice constant a0. Therefore, we can say it is the physical factors such as interaction, other than the geometrical structure factors such as a0, that should be reasonably taken as the primitive cause of the sudden change of superconductivity from pristine C60 to its alkali-doped compounds and of the variation of Tc among superconductors of A3-x-yA’xA’yC60.
