Abstract

An efficient algorithm is proposed for the numerical generation of fullerenes of an arbitrary structure. The algorithm is a combination of the method for unwinding fullerenes into a triangular network and the topological-invariants method for describing quasi-two-dimensional closed clusters. Graphs of possible structures of Cn fullerenes are found satisfying the isolated-pentagon rule for numbers of atoms in the range 100<n≤150.
