Abstract

Unprecedented protocol, consisting in reduction of Buckminsterfullerene with Na/K alloy and successive stirring in presence of O₂, affords polyhydroxylated fullerenols which are highly water soluble, from strongly basic to medium acidic conditions. The products have been characterized by means of cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR, ₁H-NMR, electron, FT-IR, Raman and mass spectroscopies. Possible paths of reaction and the role of molecular oxygen in fullerene cage-oxidation are discussed.
