Abstract A hypothetical ring-stacking procedure combined with the isolated-pentagon rule(IPR) shows variety of formation pathways of many fullerene structures with a 5- and 6-membered ring carbon cage. Combining the ring-stacking procedure with energetic considerations, the numbers of possible reaction channels are dramatically reduced within the framework of the ring-stacking considerations. This, in turn, gives the results that only some specific isomers of large fullerenes are selectively produced. The resulting fullerene structures specified are surprisingly well consistent with the recent experimental results.
