TL;DR: The T value, a general index of kinetic stability defined as a HOMO-LUMO energy separation multiplied by the number of conjugated atoms, can be evaluated meaningfully for isolated-pentagon isomers of fullerenes with up to 120 carbon atoms as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The T value, a general index of kinetic stability defined as a HOMO–LUMO energy separation multiplied by the number of conjugated atoms, can be evaluated meaningfully for isolated-pentagon isomers of fullerenes with up to 120 carbon atoms. Fullerenes with 60+6k carbon atoms have one or more isolated-pentagon isomers with very large T values. Here, k is zero or any integer larger than unity.

TL;DR: The structural stability and physicochemical properties of the N-rich BN fullerene, B24N36, have been analyzed by means of the density functional theory at the level of the generalized gradient approximation as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The structural stability and physicochemical properties of the N-rich BN fullerene, B24N36, have been analyzed by means of the density functional theory at the level of the generalized gradient approximation For this purpose, the Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof (HSE) screened hybrid density functional and the 6-31G(d) basis set were used The results indicate that the B24N36 fullerene is stable and behaves as a semiconductor compound It has been found that while the polarity of the B24N36 fullerene is comparable with that of C60 fullerene, its chemical reactivity is notoriously higher The spatial charge distribution of the BN fullerene allows nitric oxide adsorption, without compromising structural stability Although the interaction between the NO molecule and BN fullerene is through van der Waals forces (dipole–dipole attraction), it has strong influence on the dipole moment, vibrational modes, HOMO–LUMO gap and work function energy; suggesting that this nanostructure could be used as a molecular sensor or drug carrier with enhanced bioavailability
