Electronic states of a model cluster C70Si70H46 of the C70 molecule on the Si(111)7×7 surface are calculated by the discrete variational Xα ( DV- Xα) method with the linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) basis. Due to the electron transfer from the Si substrate, the molecule has an ionicity, C70

Six occupied orbitals and five unoccupied orbitals near the HOMO of the C70 molecule have high charge density around single bonds on pentagons. The maximum point of these charge densities over one half of the C70 molecule is about 0.5 Å higher than that over the other half of the C70 molecule.
