60]fullerene derivatives (dioctadecyl methano[60]fullerene, [60]fullerenoacetic acid, and IDA-[60]fullerene) were prepared and subjected to a comprehensive characterization study including protein binding properties and capacity. These fullerene derivatives were successfully applied as material-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (MELDI) carrier materials. It is shown that
