abstract = "(Figure Presented) At long last, the elusive thermodynamically most stable isomer of C71,H2 (see structure) has been synthesized through the addition of CH2 across an equatorial bond Of C 70: a site at which sucha reaction is not kinetically favorable. Theoretical studies revealed that the pyrogenic synthetic method used enables reactants to overcome the higher activation barrier to equatorial addition.",
