Possible point group of elements of the class 5n


We call 5n the class of 3-valent plane graphs whose faces are 5-gons (necesarily twelve 5-gons) or 6-gons. Other name is Fullerens. The list of possible symmetry groups was discovered by P.Fowler The classification of possible point groups was obtained in
