Then I guess there won't be a unit cell for this.
How many atoms will be present in a unit cell of Buckminsterfullerene?
What will the unit cell be shaped like?

			Buckminster fullerene has 60 carbon atoms arranged in pentagons and hexagons such that it is in the shape of a buckyball or football

		Each pentagon is attached only to hexagons while a hexagon is attached to a pentagon as well as a hexagon.
