Abstract

We report a detailed topological analysis of the C78 fullerene. The study was carried out via a graph-theoretic approach which is capable of predicting the number of lines and their relative intensities in the 13C NMR spectrum of any given fullerene isomer. Of note is the remarkable efficiency and the general applicability of the approach in the study of fullerene structures.
