Abstract

Electrophilic addition of chloroform to SWNTs followed by hydrolysis resulted in the addition of hydroxy groups to the surface of the nanotubes; further esterification with propionyl chloride led to the corresponding ester derivatives, which allowed us to identify their structure, also providing better solubility in organic solvents.
