File talk:Eight Allotropes of Carbon.png

I just love carbon. --Isequals 01:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Confusing
This is well-intentioned, but very confusing for casual viewers.

For an introductory picture like this, at most 4 panels should be shown to illustrate the main allotropes only: Graphite, Diamond, C60, and a-C. Lonsdaleite, like other stacking sequences of graphite (not shown), and higher fullerenes are too subtle variations to be thrown in like that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.15.181.22 (talk • contribs) 05:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC).


 * Who says it's introductory? It's supposed to show the staggering variety of molecular arrangements carbon appears in. That was my intention, and I think that's what it was featured for. You are invited to cut it up and rearrange it in any way, shape or form imaginable, though. It's released under the GFDL, after all. mstroeck 15:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

New comment

The caption presents the ordering as top to bottom, left to right; I initially took that to mean that images a), b) and c) were stacked on the left, etc., until I looked at the images, which then did not correspond to what I knew the captions said. I believe that the conventional way to reference the images would be: "in order, left to right in each row, starting at the top row." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Interested User (talk • contribs) 12:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC).
 * Sorry, but I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Can you explain again? mstroeck 19:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Found this picture in a Graduate Nanotechnology Textbook
It seems G. Hornyak, et al. borrowed this image for their book:

"Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology," G. Hornyak, H, Tribbals, J. Dutta, and J. Moore, CRC Press, New York (2009), pp. 248

Good work whoever made this image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueManofGenius (talk • contribs) 04:00, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
