Diels-Alder addition to fluorinated single walled carbon nanotubes.
Fluorinated single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) undergo a facile Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition with a range of dienes resulting in a C ratio substituent ratio between 20 ratio 1 to 32 ratio 1; IR, Raman, AFM and (13)C NMR characterization are consistent with sidewall functionalization.
