The Featured Molecules for August 2002 come from the paper "Generating Closed Shapes From Regular Tilings" by Boo and Mattern. The C60 molecule shown here is an example of a closed [12P:20H] shape.
In addition to the static image, two fully
manipulable versions (Jmol, MDLChime)
of these molecules appear below. (The Jmol
versions may take a few extra seconds to
load, based on the speed of your Internet
connection.)
