Are buckminsterfullerenes molecular ball bearings?
Buckminsterfullerenes (C60) are near-spherical molecules, which freely rotate at room temperature in the solid state and when dissolved in solution. An intriguing question arises as to whether C60 molecules can act as “molecular ball bearings,” that is, preventing direct contact between two solid su...
