  • Title: Facile synthesis of highly water-soluble fullerenes more than half-covered by hydroxyl groups.
    Author: Kokubo K, Matsubayashi K, Tategaki H, Takada H, Oshima T.
    Journal: ACS Nano; 2008 Feb; 2(2):327-33. PubMed ID: 19206634.
    Abstract:
    Using a novel hydrogen peroxide heating method, we synthesized milky white, water-soluble polyhydroxylated fullerenes (fullerenols) with 36-40 hydroxyl groups (estimated average) along with 8-9 secondary bound water molecules. The fullerenols exhibited high water solubility up to 58.9 mg/mL in a neutral (pH = 7) condition. Dynamic light scattering analysis showed a high dispersion property, to give a narrow particle size distribution within 0.7-2.0 nm.
