Abstract

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have unique properties that give them strong potential for applications in high performance sensors and molecular electronics.1 One problem relevant to such technological applications is the functionalization of SWNT sidewalls. Recent experiments at Stanford have shown that 1-pyrene butanoic acid succinimidyl ester (PBSE) shows promise for non-covalent absorption onto SWNT sidewalls. We have conducted studies aimed at understanding the structural arrangement and packing of PBSE on the SWNT sidewall.
