Conformational Analysis of [60]PCBM from DFT Simulations of Electronic Energies, Bond Strain and the <sup>13</sup>C NMR Spectrum: Input Geometry Determination and Ester Bond Rotation Dynamics
With the aim of determining the best input geometry for DFT calculations of [60]PCBM, the geometry of 24 chemically possible [60]PCBM conformers were optimised and their electronic energies and average bond strains were determined. A DFT analysis of the relevant dihedral angles provided insights int...
