Chemical modification of single walled carbon nanotubes with tetrazine-tethered gold nanoparticles via a Diels-Alder reaction.
A versatile methodology for the modification of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) through an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction with tetrazine-AuNPs (-AuNPs) under ambient conditions is described. A robust covalently bonded hybrid nanocomposite is formed.
