Abstract: The structures and properties of Ge@C82 were investigated via the density functional theory(DFT) method. The results show that the carbon cage is enlarged and germanium atom shift slightly from the cage center due to encapsulation. The triplet C2Ge@C82 has the lowest energy. The natural population analysis shows that the electron transfer between C2C82 and Ge is not evident, and its structure can be represented as C2Ge@C82. The IR spectrum analysis of C2C82 and C2Ge@C82 indicates that the absorption peak of C2Ge@C82 becomes acute in the range of 1100-1200 cm-1.
