Retro-Leapfrog and Related Retro Map Operations

Operations on maps are well known theoretical tools for transforming a given polyhedral tessellation. Several theoretical investigations of fullerenes, such as their π -electronic structure and stability, need information on the original map which was transformed into a larger molecular structure. In this respect, retro-operations, particularly those of the most used leapfrog, chamfering and capra operations, appear particularly useful in searching the associate graphs of fullerenes. A series of analyzed cages proved to be leapfrog transforms of smaller cages.
