THE ENERGETIC STABILITY OF TORI AND SINGLE-WALL TUBES

Tessellated tori, generated here from square-like tiled lattices, are closely related to cylinders and capped tubes. This way of building them enables the orientation of their bonds, and so the geometric proportions of the torus, to be specified for molecular mechanics calculations and, along with their transformation into capped tubes this is illustrated and discussed in the light of their energetic stability.
