12. C20
Dodecahedrane C20H20, synthesised by Paquette’s group in 1983 (2 years before C60 was discovered) can now be recognised as the fully hydrogenated derivative of the lest stable fullerene C20

20. Simulation of a collision of C60 with a crystal surface
C60 is very strong
Stresses are distributed geodesically throughout the framework
It bounces when other molecule break
