Abstract
Fullerenes are molecules in the form of cage-like polyhedra, consisting solely of carbon atoms. The omega polynomial was defined as cΩ(G, x) =Σcm⋅ x , in which m(G, c) is the number of strips of length c. One can obtain the Sadhana polynomial by replacing xc with x|E|-c in omega polynomial. Then the Sadhana index will be the first derivative of Sd(G, x) evaluated at x = 1. In this paper, the Omega and Sadhana polynomials of a new infinite class of fullerenes constructed by leapfrog principle is computed..
