Buckminsterfullerene molecule C016 / 8266
Buckminsterfullerene molecule. Computer artwork showing the molecular structure of buckminsterfullerene, a structurally distinct form (allotrope) of carbon that has 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure consisting of interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings, like a football. Atoms are represented as spheres and the bonds between them by rods. These spherical fullerenes are sometimes referred to as buckyballs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a buckminsterfullerene molecule, also known as a "buckyball". The computer artwork vividly depicts the molecular structure of this unique form of carbon, which consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings. Resembling a spherical football, these spherical fullerenes have become an intriguing subject within the field of chemistry. In this illustration, each atom is represented by a sphere while the bonds between them are depicted as rods. The vibrant red color adds to the visual appeal and highlights the atomic nature of this macromolecule. Buckminsterfullerene molecules are often referred to as buckyballs due to their resemblance to soccer balls. The significance of this allotrope lies in its role as an organic compound with various potential applications. Its unique structure and properties make it valuable for scientific research and technological advancements. This image serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, beauty can be found in science. Captured by INDIGO MOLECULAR IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print not only celebrates the wonders of chemistry but also invites viewers into the fascinating world where art meets science.
