An overview of the electrochemistry of C60, C70 and higher fullerenes, and of their derivatives and relatives is given together with highlights on possible future studies and applications. A general introduction gives the idea of the size and importance of this field that embraces classic solution and surface electrochemistry, materials chemistry, interlocked molecular architectures, biosensors and solar-energy conversion. A description of the general electrochemical behaviour for several fullerene derivatives is given together with insights on possible applications.
