The buckyballs are fairly large molecules formed completely of carbon bonded trigonally, forming spheroids (the best-known and simplest is the soccerball-shaped C60 buckminsterfullerene).
Buckminsterfullerener er relativt store molekyler, der er dannet udelukkende af carbon bundet trigonant, og som har dannet sfæroider (den bedst kendte og simpleste er den fodbold-formede C60 buckminsterfulleren).
