title: Versatile microwave-induced reactions for the multiple functionalization of carbon nanotubes.
abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been readily functionalized by microwave activation using two different reactions affording functional derivatives characterized by two orthogonally protected amino groups. The doubly functionalized CNTs can serve as multipurpose, versatile synthons in materials science and biological applications.
