Abstract
⺠We model the interaction energy of water clusters confined in fullerene cavities. ⺠C60 and C180 are chosen as icosahedral cavities. ⺠The rigid TIP4P and flexible q-TIP4P/F water-water potentials are used. ⺠While C60 can confine exothermically only one water molecule, C180 does up to 17. ⺠New global minimum structures are reported for water clusters inside C180.
