Class of carbon compounds? No, the buckminsterfullerene, is a carbon allotrope, consisting of precisely 60 carbon atoms, in a lovely geometric structure, in likeness to a soccer ball. Allotropes are simply different 3- dimensional structures and configurations for a pure element, that result in often vastly different properties, for the substances. and as always, more from our dearest search engine, wikipedia...
