HOW & WHY

Is it possible to construct so-called buckyballs out of an element
other than carbon? Perhaps silicon? Can you speculate on how the
properties may differ?
I.G.P.,
Waltham
A. Jack Howard, a chemical engineering professor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology who has discovered a way to produce
buckyballs in large quantities, says the idea has been bounced
around, but it's probably not feasible to make a silicon buckyball.
Silicon falls in the same group of elements as carbon on the
periodic table (as do germanium, tin and lead), which means it has
many chemical properties that are ...
