The Mathematics and Topology of Fullerenes

"Mathematics and Topology of Fullerenes" presents a comprehensive overview of scientific and technical innovations in theoretical and experimental studies.Topics included in this multi-author volume are: Clar structures for conjugated nanostructures; counting polynomials of fullerenes; topological indices of fullerenes; the wiener index of nanotubes; toroidal fullerenes and nanostars; C60 Structural relatives: a topological study; local combinatorial characterization of fullerenes; computation of selected topological indices of C60 and C80 Fullerenes via the Gap Program; 4valent- analogues of fullerenes; a detailed atlas of Kekule structures of C60."Mathematics and Topology of Fullerenes" is targeted at advanced graduates and researchers working in carbon materials, chemistry and physics.
