The structural and electronic properties were calculated using the Hartree-Fock and B3LYP methods with the Huzinaga basis set, in order to determine charge, relative energies and optimized structural parameters. The conformational stability was investigated as a function of the unit number along the circumference and the structural parameters. The calculated geometric and electronic properties were compared with available experimental data. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
