Abstract
The structures and electronic properties of the peanut-shaped dimers and the nanotubes consisted of C50 cages are investigated using the ab initio self-consistent field molecular and crystal orbital calculations. It is found that the peanut-shaped dimers have lower energy than the dumbbell-shaped dimers. The nanotubes are semiconductors according to the calculated band structures.
