Abstract

Golden dual fullerenes are hollow gold cages that are triangulations of a sphere and topologically isomorph to the well know fullerenes according to Euler's polyhedral formula. This also relates the (111) fcc gold layer to the graphene surface, the gold nanowires to the carbon nanotubes, and the Mackay icosahedra well known in cluster growth simulations to the halma transforms of the fullerene C20. In the picture C60 and its golden dual Au32 are shown with the background of Auckland's skyline. More information can be found in the Full Paper by P. Schwerdtfeger et al. on page 8823 ff.
