The geometrical and electronic properties of a C 60 dimer (having C 2h symmetry) are investigated by density functional and tight-binding calculations. The energy gap between the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied (molecular) orbitals for the trimer and the infinite periodic polymer derived from the considered dimer continue a decreasing trend to values smaller than 0.1 eV. The very small energy gap and the extension of the highest occupied orbital provide an explanation for the observed conducting properties of electron beam irradiated C 60 films.
