In most of the application for SWNT, nanotubes with pure electronic properties are needed. 4-chlorobenzenediazonium salt, which is an electron-withdrawing agent, was studied for its selective reactivity with HiPco-derived SWNT as well as Co-MCM-41-derived SWNT. It was found that, at room temperature...
