%N Number of fullerenes with 2n vertices (or carbon atoms).
%C Enantiomorphic pairs are regarded as the same here. Cf. A057210.
%C Contradictory results from the program "buckygen" from Brinkmann et al. (2012) and the program "fullgen" from Brinkmann and Dress (1997) led to the detection of a non-algorithmic error in fullgen. This bug has now been fixed and the results are in complete agreement. a(10)-a(190) were independently confirmed by buckygen and fullgen, while a(191)-a(200) were computed only by buckygen. - _Jan Goedgebeur_, Aug 08 2012
