New exactly integrable quantum spin-1 chains are derived. These new quantum Hamiltonians, like the XXZ chain, have a free parameter (anisotropy) and commute with the z -component of the total magnetization. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors are obtained directly by imposing a generalized coordinate Bethe ansatz. The derived Bethe ansatz equations have an unusual form and the associated R -matrix, has a dependence with the spectral parameter that is not of difference form, like the Hubbard quantum chain.
