⚽ C60 Buckminsterfullerene Schlegel Diagram (2D)

2D companion to the 3D C60 fullerene simulator: a real Schlegel diagram (stereographic planar projection) of buckminsterfullerene, preserving the exact 60-vertex, 12-pentagon, 20-hexagon truncated-icosahedron graph with no 3D rendering.

⚙ Under the hood

A real 2D Schlegel diagram of C60 buckminsterfullerene: the 3D truncated-icosahedron graph projected onto a plane by stereographic projection from one hexagonal face, keeping every one of the 60 atoms, 90 bonds, 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons exactly as in the 3D model. Rotate and pan the net, toggle pentagon/hexagon highlighting, and click any atom to see its three real sp2 bonds.
