Is all the C-C bond length in fullerene is equal ?

"No" In fullerene all the carbon atoms are equivalent but all C-C bond length are not equal . In the fullerene structure C-C bonds of two different bond length occur at the fusion of two six membered rings the bond length is C-C = 135.5 pm and at the fusion of five and six membered rings C-C bond length is 146.7 pm.
