On Van Molecular Topological Modelling of Fullerenes’ Chemical Properties

In addition to graphite, diamond, and nanotubes, fullerenes are a fundamental allotrope ofcarbon that has received significant attention in the fields of nanoscience, nanotechnology, condensedmatter physics and chemistry, biological physics, materials science and technology, mechanical andelectrical sciences, biomedical engineering, and most recently, medical nanotechnology and nanoneuroscience. Molecular topological indices are essential tools to relate the theoretical and physicalproperties of chemical substances. Investigation of the chemical and physical properties of fullerenes'topological indices has been started in recent years. This study presents topological modelling offullerenes’ binding energies, the heat of formation, shape resonances, and Ramsauer-Townsend minimausing the Van molecular topological index.
