Effect of the electronic structure of carbon nanotubes on the selectivity of electrochemical functionalization.

摘要: The functionalization of carbon nanotubes through electrochemical routes is gaining importance due to the high degree control achievable and ability render tubes with a variety chemical biological species. In this article, we report systematic investigations on grafting phenyl groups diazonium coupling onto individual metallic semiconducting both experimentally theoretically. results show clearly that by optimizing conditions it possible obtain selectivity for radicals nanotubes. outlined conclusions have strong implications design strategies controlled single-wall
