Gutzwiller variational ground states |ΦG⟩ of π electrons, described by single-band half-filling Hubbard model, were determined for the molecules C60 and C70 and their energies and magnetic properties investigated. To construct these states two types of trial functions were used: generalized spin-density wave |ΦSD⟩ and tight-binding wave |ΦΤΒ⟩. Our results evidently show that the Gutzwiller state |ΦG⟩ determined by means of function |ΦΤΒ⟩ has lower energy than the other investigated variational states |ΦGSD⟩. Mean values of the operators in the Gutzwiller states were calculated using Monte Carlo method.
