Abstract

Covalent functionalization of single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, both at the tips and on the walls, by perylenebisimides (PBIs) is reported and the resulting PBI-CNT hybrid materials have been characterized by spectroscopic (UV-Vis, Raman, 1H-NMR), thermal (TGA) and microscopy techniques (TEM). Photoexcitation resulted in the one-electron reduction of the PBI moiety with the simultaneous one-electron oxidation of CNT, yielding (PBI)˙−-(CNT)˙+, as revealed by transient absorption measurement.
