POSSIBLE SYMMETRIES OF FULLERENE STRUCTURES
- Abstract:
-
Fullerene polyhedra are realisable within exactly 28 point groups: Ih, I, Td, Th, T, Dnh, Dnd, Dn (n=2, 3, 5, 6), S2m, Cmh, Cmv, Cm (m=2, 3), Cs, Ci, C1. Examples of each group can be found within the range C20 to C140, and isolated-pentagon fullerenes can be constructed for all 28 groups. The presence of a fivefold axis implies icosahedral or dihedral symmetry, and a sixfold axis implies dihedral symmetry. For groups with these axes of high order, the ring spiral algorithm is shown to be com...
