SYMMETRY OF FULLERENES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • All fullerene isomers with up to 70 atoms have been generated and their symmetry analyzed. A safe and efficient algorithm for determination of symmetrically equivalent vertices, edges and faces in the corresponding molecular graph is outlined. The automorphism group determined in this way represents the maximal symmetry which the pertinent molecule can have. All analyzed isomers are classified by their symmetry, and the results are tabulated. 1993.
