Three isomers of C70H36 can in principle exist that have around the equator of the molecule either two phenanthrenoid rings and one benzenoid ring (two isomers), or one phenanthrenoid ring and two naphthatenoid rings. Their ensuing aromatic stability accounts for the observed inhibition of further reduction. Formation of C70H70 from C70H36 should be harder than formation of C60H60 from C60H36 because a greater loss of resonance is involved.
