title: Dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes with an extended diazapentacene derivative.
abstract: The dispersion of SWCNTs by using a novel diazapentacene derivative is reported. The proposed pi-pi interactions between the diazapentacene derivative and SWCNTs leave their inherent properties virtually intact, as observed by several photophysical measurements. This approach is very attractive for manipulation of SWCNTs for electronic applications.
