No description available.
Progress:
  • A preliminary survey was prepared for publication by E.W. Godlyand R. Taylor and published in Pure Appl. Chem. 69(7), 1411-1434,1997.
  • A final document is submitted to public review commentsuntil 30 November 2001 > see provisionalrecommendations
  • Part II of this project will extend the principlesfor numbering the C60-Ih- and C70-D5h(6)-fullerenesto other axial fullerenes and to develop numbering principles fornonaxial fullerenes.
