title: Noncovalent attachment of pyro-pheophorbide a to a carbon nanotube.
abstract: Pyrene mediated noncovalent attachment of a chlorophyll derivative, pyro-pheophorbide a, to a soluble single wall carbon nanotube is reported and the resultant CD, UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence and 1H NMR spectra are discussed.
