Water Soluble Hydroxyl Fullerene Fullerenols/Fullerenol/Fullerol

The purpose of introducing hydroxyl groups on fullerenes is to improve the water solubility of fullerenes, but only when the number of hydroxyl groups reaches 20 or more can it have better water solubility. Fullerol is hardly soluble in acetone and methanol, but soluble in DMF. The chemical properties are similar to those of fullerenes. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction can also occur when the number of hydroxyl groups is small

Fullerenols can strongly absorb free radicals, inhibit the toxicity of chemical poisons, resist radiation, prevent ultraviolet light damage, protect against heavy metal cell damage, resist cell oxidation,
Anti-bacterial infection, absorption of free radicals can protect cells from various damages. Can be widely used in MRI, anti-
HIV drugs, anti-cancer drugs, chemotherapy drugs, cosmetic additives, scientific research and many other fields.
