Abstract: The electronic structures of all possible C40H2 isomers and C40 based on D5d symmetry have been calculated with no symmetry constraints at the AM1 and PM3 semiempirical molecular orbital levels. Some rules on addition of H2 to C40 are predicted from the calculations of 51 isomers. Three sorts of main influence factors on isomers stabilities and adding positions, namely, (1) geometric structure of C40, (2) conjugative effect and (3) charge population, are discussed.

Key words: Semiempirical methods, C40H2 isomers, Stability, Infrared spectroscopy
