I_h Symmetrical (4,6)-Fullerenes and Their Local Ring Aromaticity: A First Principle Study

Figure 2

The geometrical structures of the I_h C₃₀₀ (a) and (b) (4,6)-fullerenes with connected four- and/or six-membered rings. The dashed triangles show the symmetrically unique fragments of the fullerenes with respect to the icosahedron.
