Using ab-initio calculation, we have explored new chemical paths for the coalescence of C60 units into higher fullerenes and novel structures. Besides the Stone–Wales paradigm used for rationalizing the fusion of fullerenes and nanotubes, we demonstrated that an alternative path exists for the fusion of two C60 units. This path uses successive “π–π” additions and subsequent bond reorganizations to...
