Recommendations, principles and rules to give IUPAC names to fullerenes, and their derivatives and analogues.

Progress
  • A preliminary survey was prepared for publication by E.W. Godly and R. Taylor and published in Pure Appl. Chem. 69(7), 1411-1434, 1997.
  • A final document is submitted to public review comments until 30 November 2001 > see provisional recommendations
  • Part II of this project will extend the principles for numbering the C60-Ih- and C70-D5h(6)-fullerenes to other axial fullerenes and to develop numbering principles for nonaxial fullerenes.
