Fullerenes with distant pentagons

Combinatorics 2015-08-13 v1 Discrete Mathematics

Abstract

For each d>0d>0, we find all the smallest fullerenes for which the least distance between two pentagons is dd. We also show that for each dd there is an hdh_d such that fullerenes with pentagons at least distance dd apart and any number of hexagons greater than or equal to hdh_d exist. We also determine the number of fullerenes where the minimum distance between any two pentagons is at least dd, for 1d51 \le d \le 5, up to 400 vertices.
