The well known and stable isomer of C60 consists of five and six-membered aromatic rings.� We have successfully built computer models of two other C60 isomers; a previously reported C60[3,10] isomer and, to our knowledge, a previously unreported C60[3,4,5].� As shown below, this isomer consists of 3, 4 and 5 membered rings.� Semi-empirical calculations indicate that this isomer is very unstable with a heat of formation of 5,500 kcal/mol compared with C60[5,6] which is 810 kcal/mol.
