, Fullerenes
Another class of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons is the buckminster-
fullerene (C60). H. W. Kroto and coworkers found that fullerenes C60 and
C70, are highly stable aromatic compounds
Fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon after diamond and graphite. The
allotrope C60 resembles the geodesic dome structure based on hexagons
and pentagons designed by R. Buckminster Fuller thus named as fullerene.
