The Selective Chemistry of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

  • Chapter
Book cover Applied Physics of Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

Functionalization of solution-phase carbon nanotubes has led to promising developments in nanotube science. Covalent interactions place organic functional groups on the nanotube sidewall, and certain moieties, such as diazonium salts exhibit preferential reactivity based on electronic structure. Concurrent developments in spectroscopic tools facilitate the monitoring of these reactions as well as the nanotubes' local environment. Non-covalent interactions on the nanotube surface are diverse and selective, including solvatochromatic shifts and charge transfer. This review describes covalent and non-covalent nanotube chemistries as well as methods of spectroscopic analysis.
