Can nitrones functionalize carbon nanotubes?
An unprecedented functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been conveniently achieved by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a cyclic nitrone. This organic functionalization yields materials with a great solubility in DMF (close to 10 mg per mL of DMF) preferentially occurring at the defects of the MWCNT sp(2) network.
