Fullerenes are a group of carbon molecules that are composed of carbon atoms arranged in a unique structure resembling a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. The most well-known and widely studied fullerene is the buckminsterfullerene, also known as C60, which is made up of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure. Fullerenes exhibit extraordinary physical and chemical properties, making them useful in various scientific and technological applications, such as in drug delivery, nanotechnology, and materials science. Research in the field of fullerenes continues to explore their potential uses and properties, as well as develop new fullerene derivatives with enhanced functionalities.
