Abstract: The geometric configuration and electronic structure of C40, Nb@C40+ and La@C40+were studied by using quantum chemical ab initio method.The most stable configurat1on of C40 was found to possess D2 symmetry. Nb and La atoms of Nb@C40+ and La@C40+ were insidethe C40 cage, forming endohedral metallofullerenes. Binding energy of C40, was larger thanthose of M@C40+(M=Nb, La).

Key words: C40, Nb@C40+, La@C40+, Geometric configuration, Electronic structure
