Fantasmagoric Fulleroids Revisited
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2006, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
New strange fulleroids are built up by using the three classical composite map operations: tripling (leapfrog Le), quadrupling (chamfering Q) and septupling (capra Ca) on the starting structure dodecahedron. These transforms belong to the icosahedral symmetry group and show interesting mathematical and (possible) physico-chemical properties. Topological symmetry data of the presented cages are calculated by means of layer matrices derived on the associated graphs and their medial and dual transforms.
