Skeletal Rearrangements of the C<sub>240</sub> Fullerene: Efficient Topological Descriptors for Monitoring Stone–Wales Transformations

Stone–Wales rearrangements of the fullerene surface are an uncharted field in theoretical chemistry. Here, we study them on the example of the giant icosahedral fullerene C<sub>240</sub> to demonstrate the complex chemical mechanisms emerging on its carbon skeleton. The Stone–Wales trans...
