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 [...]
