Fu-10.1. Bridged and fused two-component fullerenes. One fullerene can be considered as bridging another fullerene, or be connected to another by a nonfullerene fusion component, or be part of a fusion component.
Examples:
1,7-([1,9]Epi(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullereno)(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene
[a (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene bridging another (C60-Ih )[5,6]fullerene]
Note: A bridging fullerene is not renumbered therefore its locants are primed.
Cyclobuta[1",2":1,2;3",4":1',9']di(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene
[two (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerenes fused to a cyclobutane ring]
Furano[2",3":1,9;4",5":1',9']di(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene
[two (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerenes fused to a furan ring]
Note: The CA index name is di[5,6]fullereno-C60-Ih-[1,9-b:1',9'-d]furan.

[two bridges between two (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerenes fused to a cyclobutane ring]
(C60-Ih)[5,6]Fullereno[1",9":3',4']cyclobuta[1',2':8,25](C70-D5h(6)]fullerene
[a (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene fused to a cyclobutane ring in turn fused to a (C70-D5h(6)]fullerene]
Note: Since a fused fullerene structure is not renumbered, each component must be identified by appropriate primed numbers.
