Polyhydroxyl fullerene derivatives (fullerenols) were first reported by Chiang L., et. al. (J. Chem Soc, Chem. Commun. 1992,  1791.) They are water soluble compounds.  Fullerols are useful for the formation of  gels, starburst polymers, and composites and may be explored for biological activity.
 
The number of -OH groups is typically between 18-24.
