We discover two distinct topological pathways through which the pentagonal Cairo tiling (P5), a structural model for single-layer $AB_2$ pyrite materials, respectively transforms into a crystalline rhombus-hexagon (C46) tiling and random rhombus-pentagon-hexagon (R456) tilings, by continuously introducing the Stone-Wales (SW) topological defects.
