title: Double functionalization of carbon nanotubes for multimodal drug delivery.
abstract: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been covalently functionalized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with orthogonally protected amino functions that can be selectively deprotected and subsequently modified with drugs and fluorescent probes.
