Definitions and meanings of "Fullerene"

What do we mean by fullerene?

An allotrope of carbon composed of any of various cagelike molecules that consist only of an even number of carbon atoms, are often spherical in shape, and are composed of hexagonal and pentagonal groups of atoms. noun

Any of a class of allotropes of carbon having hollow molecules whose atoms lie at the vertices of a polyhedron having 12 pentagonal and 2 or more hexagonal faces noun

Any closed-cage compound having twenty or more carbon atoms consisting entirely of 3-coordinate carbon atoms noun

A form of carbon having a large molecule consisting of an empty cage of sixty or more carbon atoms noun

Any of a class of allotropes of carbon having hollow molecules whose atoms lie at the vertices of a polyhedron having 12 pentagonal and 2 or more hexagonal faces.

Any closed-cage compound having twenty or more carbon atoms consisting entirely of 3-coordinate carbon atoms.

(by extension) The class of carbon allotropes consisting of tubular carbon molecules (carbon nanotubes) and spheroidal carbon molecules (traditional fullerenes).

An allotrope of carbon with fused rings of five to seven atoms and a closed or partially closed mesh formed by carbon atoms joined by single and double bonds. The molecule may have the form of a hollow spherical, ellipsoid, tube, or something else entirely. Urban Dictionary
