Abstract

The symmetry conditions which rule the matching of a fulleren molecule's main axis in a translational lattice are considered. The full set of orientational states for the structure of fullerene are obtained. The different levels of correlations between symmetry axes of icosahedral molecule and cubic lattice are considered. This result used for analysis of orientational ordering models, including modulation structure and discrete orientational glass.
