Numbering of Fullerenes (IUPAC Recommendations 2004)
3.1.5.
Systematic numbering for other fullerenes having at least one symmetry axis (Cn, n>1) and a contiguous helical numbering pathway determined on the basis of rules Fu-3.1.1 to Fu-3.1.4.

3.1.5. Systematic numbering for other fullerenes having at least one symmetry axis (Cn, n>1) and a contiguous helical numbering pathway determined on the basis of rules Fu-3.1.1 to Fu-3.1.4.
Fullerenes of this class do exist for which the application of Fu-3.1.1 to Fu-3.1.3 does not allow to distinguish among several contiguous helical numbering pathways. To solve this problem the additional rule Fu-3.1.4 has been adopted. The use of this new rule leads to numberings that in some cases are different from those obtained by CAS [ref 3]. Examples of fullerenes whose numbering requires application of Fu-3.1.4 are described below.
- 3.1.6. Systematic numbering for (C40-D2)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.7. Systematic numbering for (C76-D2)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.8. Systematic numbering for (C28-D2)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.9. Systematic numbering for (C42-D3)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.10. Systematic numbering for (C34-C2)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.11. Systematic numbering for (C78-D3)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.12. Systematic numbering for (C78-C2v)[5,6]fullerene
- 3.1.13. Systematic numbering for (C84-D6h)[5,6]fullerene
