The third‐order nonlinear optical properties of fulleropyrrolidine and its salt as well as their reduced forms are investigated. Upon reduction, the response increases by up to, and sometimes more than, three orders of magnitude, giving values comparable to the largest ever reported. Calculations and experiments provide a coherent picture for the nonlinear optical properties of these new materials.
