Compositions and methods related to targeted carbon nanostructures. More particularly, targeted carbon nanostructures comprising: a C
n
, a cross-linker, and a targeting agent, wherein C
n
refers to a fullerene moiety or nanotube comprising n carbon atoms. One example of a method may involve a method for imaging comprising: contacting a targeted carbon nanostructure and a cell; allowing the cell to internalize the carbon nanostructure; and detecting the presence of internalized carbon nanostructures.

In various embodiments, the present disclosure describes fullerene derivatives that are capable of photocatalytically generating reactive oxygen species in the presence of ultraviolet and/or visible light. In some embodiments, the fullerene derivatives are aminofullerenes containing a plurality of amine-terminated moieties covalently bonded to the fullerene cage. The fullerene derivatives may optionally be covalently bonded to a substrate surface for use in photocatalytic disinfection systems for removing various contaminants including, for example, bacteria, viruses, protozoa and chemical pollutants. Methods using the present fullerene and aminofullerene derivatives in various purification processes are also described herein.
