Abstract
This Account reviews our main achievements in the field of excited-state pr operties of fullerene derivatives. The photosensitizing and electron-accept or features of some relevant classes of functionalized fullerene materials are highlighted, considering the impact of functionalization on fullerene c haracteristics. In addition, the unique optimization in terms of redox pote ntials, water-solubility, and singlet oxygen generation is presented for se veral novel fullerene-based materials.
