Students and researchers will appreciate this practical guide, which features a comprehensive set of pictures of fullerene structures and tabulates their properties. In addition, it lists a computer program that can extend the tables. Seven chapters of descriptive material precede the tables and serve as a self-contained introduction. 1995 edition.
