Abstract: The electronic structures of C60 ahd C60 M (M=Li, Na, K , Rb and Cs) were calculated by using an atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital method. The results indicate that s valence electron of the atom of alkali metal was completely transferred to 5T1u orbital of C60. The stabilization energy of the system results mainly from the electrostatic interaction between polarized C60 and alkali metal atom.
