Some further fullerenes
In general molecules in the form of cage-like polyhedra solely
built from carbon atoms are called fullerenes. Fullerenes
Cn can be constructed for n=20 and for all even n≥
24. They have n vertices (i.e. C-atoms), 3n/2 edges, 12 pentagonal
and (n-20)/2 hexagonal faces. The most important member of the
family of the fullerenes is C60.
