Topology of C20 Based Spongy Nanostructures

Abstract

Spongy materials are encountered in nature in zeolites used as molecular sieves. There are also synthetic compounds like spongy carbon, metal-organic frameworks MOFs, etc, with a hollow structure. The design and topological study of some hypothetical spongy nanostructures is presented in terms of map operations and genus calculation on their associated graphs. The design of nanostructures was performed by original software packages.
