Covalent aryldiazonium salts

Four different aryldiazonium salts have been used to functionalize SWCNTs through electrochemical reduction. By XPS and Raman diffusion measurements, the growth of aryl chains on the sidewalls of the nanotubes was observed [178]. Electrically addressable biomolecular functionalization of SWCNT electrodes and vertically aligned carbon nanofiber electrodes with DNA was achieved by elec-trochemically addressing (reduction) of nitrophenyl substituted nanotubes and nanofibers. Subsequently, the resulting amino functions were covalently linked to DNA forming an array of DNA-CNT hybrid nanostructures (Scheme 1.28) [179],...
