Possible Mechanisms of Fullerene C60 Antioxidant Action

Figure 2

The distribution of charge for two, four, and six protons inside the fullerene. The charge of fullerene with two protons inside is about zero (red color) while fullerenes that have four or six protons inside obtain positive charge (green and blue color). Protons lose their positive charge starting from positive charge (blue color) to almost zero (orange color).
