Pentagon adjacency as a determinant of fullerene stability
Optimisation of geometries of all 40 fullerene isomers of C40, using methods from molecular mechanics and tight-binding to full ab initio SCF and DFT approaches, confirms minimisation of pentagon adjacency as a major factor in relative stability. The consensus predictions of 11 out of 12 methods are...
