Title
Retro-Leapfrog and Related Retro Map Operations
Abstract
Operations on maps are well-known theoretical tools for transforming a given polyhedral tessellation. Several theoretical investigations of fullerenes, such as their pi-electronic structure and stability, need information on the original map which was transformed into a larger molecular structure. In this respect, retro-operations, particularly those of the most used leapfrog, chamfering, and capra operations, appear particularly useful in searching the associate graphs of fullerenes. A series of analyzed cages proved to be leapfrog transforms of smaller cages. This information was useful in understanding their closed pi-electronic structure and related properties including the local aromaticity. An index based on the optimized geometries enabled the evaluation of aromaticity of their various substructures. Pictorial images of the pi-electron distribution as the main Kekule valence structures have been performed by the aid of the JSCHEM software package.
