37. 70 is comparable or even higher (up to 0.5 eV), the predicted HOMO-LUMO gap would still be less than 1 eV and therefore much smaller than the measured value (1.3 eV).
38. 70 (8148, see P. W. Fowler, D. E. Manolopoulos, An Atlas of Fullerenes, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1995) is very high, it was necessary to establish some criteria to exclude those non-IPR cages that are highly strained and unfavorable, and consequently to reduce the set of probable structures.

41. 72. In all these cases the pairs of adjacent pentagons are coordinated to the endohedral metal atoms.
42. Since in trimetallic nitride cluster fullerenes six electrons of the cluster are formally transferred to the carbon cage, the analysis of the relative energies and HOMO-LUMO gaps in hexaanions (rather than in the neutrally charged isomers) is reasonable (see also references [11c, 12e, 22]).

44. -1. Thus, the code used for DFT calculations is reliable and the assignment of the cage structure by this method is confirmed.
