FAVORABLE STRUCTURES FOR HIGHER FULLERENES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A study is made of elemental carbon cages corresponding to polyhedra with hexagonal and pentagonal faces such that no two pentagons abut. All such preferable cages of up to =94 vertices are generated, and simple Hckel MO and resonance-theoretic computations are made. The graphical structures more favored by these computations are reported for the experimentally relevant vertex (or atomic) counts of =60, 70, 76, 78, 84, and 90. The NMR line patterns for these favorable structures are also given. 1992.
