A proposed structure for C60H36 incorporating four aromatic benzene rings has chiral T point group symmetry, involves less disruption of the parent fullerene skeleton, gives a better delocalisation energy, and is more closely compatible with experimental evidence than previous candidates; it is also analogous to the recently characterised C36H36‘spheriphane’ molecule.
