Study of Nonclassical Fullerenes C_192 and C_204 with Seven Heptagon Rings

Sanchez-Bernabe F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

In this paper, we present some examples of nonclassical fullerenes with seven heptagon rings. For instance, a nonclassical fullerene with 192 carbons, seven heptagons, 19 pentagons, and 72 hexagons, is considered. Two of the seven [...]

Nonclassical Fullerenes C_60 and C_66 with Five Heptagon Rings

Sanchez-Bernabe F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

In this paper, we present a couple of examples of nonclassical fullerenes with five heptagon rings. The first of them, a nonclassical fullerene with 60 carbons, five heptagons, 17 pentagons, and 10 hexagons, is considered. [...]

Nonclassical Fullerenes with Cubic and Octahedral Structure

Sanchez-Bernabe F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Two types of nonclassical fullerenes are presented: the first one with 128 carbons, with a cubic structure. The second example, with 132 carbons, has octahedral structure. Fullerenes are important on diverse applications. "Brazuka" soccer ball [...]

Three Examples of Nonclassical Fullerenes with Tetrahedral Structure

Sanchez-Bernabe F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Three nonclassical fullerene are presented, they contain square and heptagonal faces, besides pentagons, and hexagons. The number of carbons are 64, 76, and 152, respectively. The first example that we consider of a nonclassical fullerene [...]
