The present invention relates to a water-soluble fluorescent fullerene derivative, and a preparation method thereof, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a water-soluble fluorescent fullerene derivative by mixing a fullerene and a ligand containing a hydroxyl group at end in a first solvent and reacting the mixture with a catalyst, thereby simply preparing a fullerene derivative with excellent fluorescence, and the water-soluble fluorescent fullerene derivative prepared thereby. It is possible to simply prepare a water-soluble fullerene derivative with strong fluorescence by using the preparation method of a water-soluble fluorescent fullerene derivative according to the present invention, to easily control the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light according to the amount of fullerene and the type of catalyst, and to easily use the fullerene derivative as a biological fluorescent dye by containing a ligand with bioaffinity. The prepared fluorescent fullerene derivative is fluorescent and has excellent solubility in solvents, and thus can be useful in the biological, medical or nanotechnology field and the like. |
