Ring-current aromaticity of icosahedral C 120 archimedene is probed at the ipsocentric/6-31G* level by direct mapping of the current density induced in its 4-, 6-and 10-sided faces by perpendicular magnetic fields. In contrast to planar phenylene analogues, the 4-faces (and only those faces) support global π ring currents: intense, paratropic (antiaromatic), stronger on the cage interior.
