Fullerenes of the Δn=2 series

Fusion reactions of triangle C₃ and square C₄ carbon molecule with each other create elementary fullerenes C₆ and C₈. In its turn surface reactions of the fullerenes formed with square C₄ carbon molecule produce other prism fullerenes C₁₀, C₁₂ and C₁₄. The surface reactions C₆ + C₄ → (C₆ C₄) → C₁₀,   C₁₀ + C₄ → (C₁₀ C₄) → C₁₄,   C₈ + C₄ → (C₈ C₄) → C₁₂   are modeled on the basis of Arrhenius's postulate. All the fullerenes obtained constitute the Δn= 2 series fullerenes of the periodic system of basic perfect fullerenes. Together with the Δn= 4 series this series finishes designing the periodic system from above.
