title: Absolute configuration of D(2)-symmetric fullerene C(84).
abstract: The D(2)-symmetric isomer of fullerene C(84) predominantly found in soots is inherently chiral. We determine its absolute configuration by comparison of the experimental electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectrum with time-dependent density functional calculations.
