Buckminsterfullerene molecule. Molecular model of the spherical fullerene molecule C60. Fullerenes are structurally distinct forms (allotropes) of carbon. This one has 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure consisting of interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings. These spherical fullerenes are sometimes referred to as buckyballs.
