Molymod Buckminsterfullerene (C60 Fullerene)

Molymod® inorganic, self-assembly kits contain sufficient atom parts and links to build individual crystal structures, a selection of which are shown. The kits are supplied in plastic containers with full assembly instructions. Models are of two kinds: Open, which use standard medium links to give extended structures, and Compact, that use short links to bring the atoms close together, forming a semi-space-filling type of model.

The molecular structure of C60 Buckminsterfullerene is demonstrated with this molecular model kit. The Buckminsterfullerene molecular model includes the following atom parts: 60 Carbon, tribipyr, black and 90 links, medium gray. The model is approximately 1:300,000,000 scale.
