Chemical modification of single walled carbon nanotubes with tetrazine-tethered gold nanoparticles via a Diels–Alder reaction†
Abstract
A versatile methodology for the modification of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) through an inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction with tetrazine-AuNPs (1-AuNPs) under ambient conditions is described. A robust covalently bonded hybrid nanocomposite is formed.
