Where Can I Purchase Buckyballs and Other Exotic Materials for Display?

AI Thread Summary
Buckyballs, also known as fullerene, can be purchased in macro quantities from chemical suppliers like Aldrich, which is a well-known supplier for research labs. Prices are high, with costs around $250 per gram, though smaller quantities, such as 25 mg, are available for about $20. For those interested in visual references, there is a request for macro images of buckyballs, as most available photos are computer-generated models. The general consensus is that buckyballs do not have a striking appearance, resembling graphite more than anything else. Aldrich's website provides an option for online purchasing.

Where to buy buckyballs?

Does anyone know where i can buy macro quantities of buckyballs? Or carbon nano tubes and all the other exotic materials out there. Just for displaying purposes, i don't mean to use them. And furthermore, does anyone have a pic or a link that show buckyballs macroscopically? All the fotos i searched for turned out just the computer models.

Thanx

I don't think that they are much to look at, they pretty much look like graphite. You can buy them from Aldrich though. Bring your wallet, they cost around $250/gram. You can get 25 mg for about $20, however.
 
Ok. What is Aldrich?? Can I get them from the internet? thanx
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
