Microwave irradiation: an important tool to functionalize fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.
Microwave irradiation is an important tool in the functionalization of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. These are compounds with excellent properties that make them useful for the development of optoelectronic organic devices. The applications of microwaves in the chemistry of these materials are reviewed.
