Functionalization of diamond (100) by organic cycloaddition reactions of nitrenes: a theoretical prediction.
[structure: see text] We predict the viability of organic cycloadditions of nitrenes onto the diamond (100) surface. This new type of surface reaction can be employed to functionalize diamond surface at low temperature, which might introduce new functionalities to the diamond surface for novel applications in a diversity of fields.
