TI - A Convenient Route to Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes N2 - Reductive alkylation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs)using lithium and alkyl halides in liquid ammonia yields sidewall functionalized nanotubes that are soluble in common organic solvents. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)and high-resolution tunneling electron microscopy (HRTEM)of dodecylated SWNTs prepared from raw HiPco nanotubes show that extensive debundling has occurred. GC-MS analysis of the byproduct hydrocarbons demonstrates that alkyl radicals are intermediates in the alkylation step UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uLnmJVMCCdzi_2SrPxvx5qKfO2oYb2KZ/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
