B	This article has been rated as B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
High	This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

Emerging Developments

FYI to anyone editing this page- Wired released an article today which suggests that buckministerfullerene is no longer the largest particle to exhibit wave-particle duality. I'd want a better source though before I go changing the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.7.132 (talk) 03:10, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

I think the picture of buckmisterfullerene in benzene should be removed because it's completely useless. It looks no different than colored water in a beaker, and adds no value to this page

Manufacturing

How is buckminsterfullerene manufactured/created? ~~

Name

Is it Buckminster-fullerene or Buckminsterfullerene? 87.224.36.90 (talk) 08:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is written as one unhypenhated word, buckminsterfullerene. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Isolated Pentagon Rule

Is the argument on Commons:File talk:Buckminsterfullerene-2D-skeletal.png really valid? --Leyo 13:57, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. I left a reply there. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:17, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --Leyo 15:31, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No javascript

The table on this page is broken on firefox with noscript. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.219.187.22 (talk) 05:32, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is actually a problem with the Chembox template and technically not specific to the Buckminsterfullerene page, although the fact the chemical formula of Buckminmsterfullerene is so complex does form part of the reason the problem occurs on this page. Even with Javascript enabled, if the SMILES or InChI entry [show] links are clicked on any page where the chemical formula is sufficiently complex, the same problem rears its head: The table/template becomes unmanageably wide. 82.219.197.3 (talk) 23:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Structure?

The structure including C-C distance, pyramidalization, C-C-C angles, and packing, pretty basic stuff, is missing. --Smokefoot (talk) 01:15, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Effect on living organisms

I don't know how much information is available, but if there is any, I think it would be a useful addition. Surely there must be at least some basic information on acute toxicity; someone must have studied that. --Trovatore (talk) 00:48, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's this forum discussion on C60's effects on humans: http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/57492-c60-experiments-home/ and this article seems interesting: http://extremelongevity.net/2012/04/16/chronic-buckyball-administration-doubles-rat-lifespan/. However, I haven't had the patience to do in-depth reading to what the state of affairs is here, and the only seemingly credible paper on the subject is this: http://extremelongevity.net/wp-content/uploads/C60-Fullerene.pdf

Hopefully, this paper trail will inspire somebody to do better digging.
