In this Account we highlight the experimental evidence in favor of our view that carbon
nanotubes should be considered as a new macromolecular form of carbon with unique …

The recent surge of interest1 in the chemistry and properties of carbon-rich molecules has
been driven largely by the discovery2 and the isolation of macroscropic quantities3 of the …

Naked metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were
dissolved in organic solutions by derivatization with thionychloride and octadecylamine …

Since their first detection and bulk production, the fullerenes have gained a primary role on
the scientific scene, reaching their climax when the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was …

First Self-Contained Source Entirely Dedicated to Nanocarbons Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
attract a good deal of attention for their electronic, mechanical, optical, and chemical …

We report the sidewall functionalization of soluble HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWNTs) by addition of dichlorocarbene. The dichlorocarbene-functionalized SWNTs [(s …

We have subjected single-walled carbon nanotube materials (SWNTM's) to a variety of
organic functionalization reactions. These reactions include radioactive photolabeling …
