a topological defect in sp2 carbon networks where rotating one bond by 90 degrees turns four hexagons into two pentagons and two heptagons.

In materials science, Stone-Wales defect refers to a topological defect in sp2 carbon networks where rotating one bond by 90 degrees turns four hexagons into two pentagons and two heptagons. This meaning comes from Stone (1986) in Chemical Physics Letters.[1]
