Fullerenes are a family ofcarbon allotropes(other allotropes of carbon are graphite and diamond) consisting of molecules composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in the form of hollow spheres, ellipsoids, or tubes. Each molecule generally has both pentagonal and hexagonal faces.
The most common fullerene is Buckminsterfullerene, in which each molecule is composed of 60 carbon atoms that together take the shape of a soccer ball

Answer:
these are the recently discovered allotropic forms of carbon which were prepared for the first time by HW kroto smell and Robert cut by the action of laser beam on the paper of graphite the first known chlorine was c60 which contains 60 carbon atoms with smaller proportion of c70 entries of compounds containing even upto 370 carbon atoms full fullerene c60 was named bookie minister fullerene due to their resemblance in structure with dons designed and built by the American architect Robert book minister fullerene
