Two Examples of Nonclassical Fullerenes with Dodecahedral Structure

Sanchez Bernabe F., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Two nonclassical fullerene are presented. The first one contains heptagonal faces, besides pentagons, and hexagons.This example contains 420 carbons. There are 60 heptagons. The number of hexagons is 80, and finally, we have 72 pentagons. [...]
