Abstract
An efficient and convenient preparation of fullerenols was described. With polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 as catalyst, fullerenols were conveniently synthesized via the direct reaction of fullerene with aqueous NaOH. By control of reaction conditions, either water‐soluble C, fullerenol or water‐insoluble C60 fullerenol could be obtained selectively.Keywords
