A computer adapted vector method and Euler angle transformation procedures are used to generate the relationship between the atomic orbitals of icosahedral C/sub 60/ Buckminsterfullerene cluster and to produce symmetry adapted molecular orbitals and vibrational species. The atomic overlaps based on the orientational relationship of the orbitals are used to compute the approximate molecular orbital energies and normalization constants. One of the vibrations of A/sub u/, symmetry is used to interpret the isomeric (dyotropic) rearrangement that breaks and forms two bonds to change two pentagons to two hexagons and vice versa.
