Question

Explain in short, the allotrope Buckminster fullerene.​

Answer 1

• Buckminsterfullerenes (C60) are spherical carbon allotropes where 60 atoms are assembled in pentagons and hexagons, in a geometry similar to a soccer ball.
• Their cage structure and polyaromaticity cause the formation of a displaced electron cloud that allows these molecules to act as charge transfer complexes.
