An example of a weak perturbation is adsorption on carbon nanotubes 17a) (Fig. 2b), where it is shown that the rotational line is broadened and split. The / = 1 level is threefold degenerate Mj = 0, + 1), and the interaction with the nanotubes has partially lifted the degeneracy. 

Other Sorbed Atoms and Molecules. 2F1 NMR data were used to study the molecular dynamics of D2 in SWCNT.631 1,2F1 NMR spectra were used to follow H2 adsorption on carbon nanotubes.632 111 MAS spectroscopy was able to characterise molecular H2 trapped inside an open-cage aza-thiafullerene,... 

Hydrogen storage continues to be one of the driving forces behind the research in gas adsorption on carbon nanotubes. The impetus for this work comes from the need to find an effective way to store hydrogen in order to make it possible for this gas to replace petroleum-based fuels in transportation... 

Chapter i6 Adsorption on Carbon Nanotubes Experimental Results... 

As the experimental and theoretical investigations of gas adsorption on carbon nanotubes progressed, a number of questions that are important from a fundamental perspective have emerged. These questions provide an independent scientific motivation for the study of adsorption of various gases on these novel carbon materials. 

This chapter summarizes some of the more important experimental developments that have occurred in the field of gas adsorption on carbon nanotubes. In the first section, we review results regarding hydrogen storage. In subsequent sections, we discuss experiments dealing mostly with the adsorption of rare gases and simple molecules on carbon nanotubes.
