Polyhydroxylated fullerene C
60
(OH)
n
(with an estimated number of hydroxyl groups
n
= 38–44) synthesized from pure fullerene by mixing a benzene solution of C
60
with a NaOH aqueous solution in the presence of a catalyst was studied with
1
H and
13
C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. Possible features of the structure of a molecule shell were revealed from
1
H NMR data. The
13
C spectrum showed a peak splitting with an increase in temperature, which is probably due to fullerenol isomers.
