Summary.
The generalized Pauling bond order was enumerated in the C60 fullerene cage molecule (truncated icosahedral symmetry). This index measures chemical similarity in fullerene derivatives such as dihydrofullerene (C60H2), anionized monohydrofullerene (C60H−), N-substituted monohydrofullerene (C59NH), the fullerene dimer ((C60)2), and the dianionic fullerene dimer ((C60)2 2−). It is also useful in judging the chemical stability of isomers.
