title: Diels-Alder chemistry of graphite and graphene: graphene as diene and dienophile.
abstract: The zero-band-gap electronic structure of graphene enables it to function as either the diene or the dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction, and this versatile synthetic method offers a powerful strategy for the reversible modification of the electronic properties of graphene under very mild conditions.
