C60 fullerene, also known as Buckminsterfullerene, is a spherical carbon molecule consisting of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a truncated icosahedron structure. It resembles a soccer ball, with 12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal faces. Each carbon atom in C60 is sp² hybridized, forming three sigma bonds with neighboring carbon atoms, while the remaining unhybridized p orbital participates in the formation of a delocalized π-electron cloud over the entire structure. This delocalization contributes to the stability and unique electronic properties of C60. The bonding
