  • Diamond: It is extremely hard, transparent crystal, with the carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral lattice. This allotrope of carbon is a poor electrical conductor and an excellent thermal conductor.
  • Lonsdaleite: These are also called hexagonal diamond.
  • Graphene: It is the basic structural element of other allotropes, nanotubes, charcoal, and fullerenes.
  • Q-carbon: These carbon allotropes are ferromagnetic, tough, and brilliant crystal structure that is harder and brighter than diamonds.
  • Graphite: It is a soft, black, flaky solid, a moderate electrical conductor. The C atoms are bonded in flat hexagonal lattices (graphene), which are then layered in sheets.
  • Linear acetylenic carbon (Carbyne)
  • Amorphous carbon
  • Fullerenes, including Buckminsterfullerene, also known as “buckyballs”, such as C60.
  • Carbon nanotubes: Allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.
