I wonder what the IUPAC names of fullerene-like molecules, I mean all those hydrocarbons with 3-D structure. Do we have another name of these compounds or are they classified as aromatic?

1$\begingroup$ From Does IUPAC nomenclature have the ability to name all organic compounds? (Chemistry.se) we find Pure & Appl. Chem. 1997, 69 (7), pp. 1411-1434 pdf mirrored on iupac.org. And obviously the blue book 2013: dx.doi.org/10.1039/9781849733069 $\endgroup$– Martin - マーチン ♦Dec 12, 2017 at 8:37

$\begingroup$ It seems that you are asking two different Qs. It is possible to name each fullerene.. The synthesis guys do it so I have no refs at hand. Is better to consider them as a class, as for aromaticity is present or no depending on which aspect is accounted for. $\endgroup$– AlchimistaDec 12, 2017 at 9:35

I think I've found relevent sources here:
https://old.iupac.org/publications/pac/1997/pdf/6907x1411.pdf http://www.sbcs.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/fullerene/
However, I still wonder if we have another name for all those hydrocarbons with 3-dimensional structures. Should they be regarded as a subclass of "aromatic" or do we have another name for them?

2$\begingroup$ I am considering converting that to an edit. Right now it poses more questions than it answers. In addition, whilst the links may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link only for reference. $\endgroup$– Martin - マーチン ♦Dec 12, 2017 at 8:53
