3-D visualizations of diamond, graphite, carbon nanotube and C₆₀.

The following animations show the 3-D structures of diamond, graphite, carbon nanotube and C₆₀ :

Diamond [Flash] | [Virtual Reality]	Graphite [Flash] | [Virtual Reality]	Nanotube [Flash] | [Virtual Reality]	C60 [Flash] | [Virtual Reality]

The following website also contains some 3-D visualizations:

1.	Download the viewing software from the webpage: http://www.chem.arizona.edu/~salzmanr/viewinfo.html.
2.	Download the examples from http://www.chem.arizona.edu/~salzmanr/molecule.html. This page contains 3-D images of diamond, graphite and C60. You can change the viewing angle for different visualizations.
3.	Other structures such as DNA and Aspirin can also be viewed.
