Fullerenes

Fullerenes are cubic plane graphs where all faces are pentagons or hexagons. Euler's formula implies that each fullerene contains exactly 12 pentagonal faces. The dual graph of a fullerene is a triangulation where all vertices have degree 5 or 6.

The fullerene lists are currently only available in 'planar_code' format. The larger files are compressed with gzip.

The following lists are available:

All numbers up to 380 vertices were independently confirmed by fullgen and buckygen. The fullerenes with more than 380 vertices were generated with buckygen.

The fullerenes in the downloadable lists from the "Fullerenes"-table are sorted according to their lexicographically minimal spiral development. So the order in which they appear is the same as in the Atlas of Fullerenes [1]. More information about spirals in fullerenes can be found in [2].
