Reason being that the electrons cannot move between the molecules in the fullerenes. Any further explanation? I’ve seen a book writing otherwise.

If we observe to the structure of fullerene carefully, each Carbon atom forms covalent bonds with 3 other Carbon atoms. This means for every Carbon Atom, there will be one free-moving electron moving about the structure. These electrons are able to carry electric charges when Fullerene is connected to an electrica source, and therefore it can conduct electricity. =] Yes, it’s a good conductor of electricity.

Since each carbon atom has 4 valence electrons, there will be a mobile electron to conduct electricity. Am i right? pls correct me!:D hey! it is a good conductor of electricity as one carbon atom is covalently bonded to 3 other carbon atoms.
