The leapfrog principle: a rule for electron counts of carbon clusters

Abstract

Pseudospherical carbon clusters Cn with n= 60 + 6k and k equal either to zero or to any integer greater than one are expected to have closed electronic shells; a simple rule predicts the symmetries of the bonding orbitals of these ‘leapfrog’ clusters.
