Synthesis of fullerene oxides [$C_{70}O_n$] ($n=1{\sim}3$ or n=1) in solid state by fullerene [$C_{70}$] and several oxidants such as 3-chloroperoxy benzoic acid, chromium(VI) oxide, benzoyl peroxide, and trichloroisocyanuric acid was taken place under microwave irradiation. The reactivity in solid state oi fullerene [$C_{70}$] with various oxidants under same microwave condition increased in the order of 3-chloroperoxy benzoic acid > chromium(VI) oxide > trichloroisocyanuric acid ${\simeq}benzoyl$ peroxide. The MALDI-TOF-MS, UV-visible spectra and HPLC analysis confirmed that the products of fullerene oxidation were [$C_{70}O_n$] ($n=1{\sim}3$ or n=1).

Synthesis of fullerene oxides by fullerenes [$C_{60},\;C_{70}$] and several oxidants such as benzoylperoxide, trichloroisocyanuric acid, methyltrioxorhenium(VII), iodosobenzene, phosphorous pentoxide take place under ultrasonic condition at room temperature. The MALDI-TOF MS,UV-visible spectra and HPLC analysis confirmed that the products of fullerenes oxidation are [$C_{60}(O)_n$], ($n=1{\sim}3$ or n=1) and [$C_{70}(O)_n$], ($n=1{\sim}2$ or n=1). As compared with the reactivity of epoxidation of fullerenes [$C_{60},\;C_{70}$], the reaction rate of $C_{70}$ was lower than that of $C_{60}$ under same reaction condition.
