Hey there 
Fullerenes are allotropes of carbon. They form hexagonal rings of carbon joined together by covalent bonds. Since they have covalent bonds, they have weak intermolecular forces so bonds are easily broken. This means they have low melting and boiling points. They do not conduct electricity as they don't have free electrons to carry charge. An example of a fullerene is Buckminsterfullerene which is made up of 60 carbons - hope this helps!!
