THE HIGHER FULLERENES - A CANDIDATE FOR THE STRUCTURE OF C78
A systematic search reveals five C78 fullerene cages with isolated pentagons, but only one with a closed electronic shell, as predicted by Fowler's leapfrog rule. The closed-shell isomer has D3h symmetry and is the most likely candidate for the structure of C78. Like C70, it corresponds to an e...
