Fig. 4

Formation of a pentagon following molecular bending of a fully dehydrogenated compact PAH (graphene sheet). The formed pentagon is highlighted in blue. Subsequently, the molecule might convert to a fullerene at high temperatures following C2 losses and exhibit further curving using the ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (Pietrucci & Andreoni 2014).
