Abstract

Highly water-soluble fullerene polymers were successfully prepared by a simple direct free-radical copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone and intact C₆₀ or C₇₀ as a radical-capping agent. Using AIBN as a radical initiator, the polymers (C₆₀– or C₇₀–PVP) with significantly high molecular weight (∼30 kDa) and with efficient ¹O₂ generation were obtained.
