Despite much interest in CNs, manipulation and processing of these materials has been limited by their lack of solubility in most common solvents. Many applications of CNs (mainly SWNTs) require chemical modification of the materials to make them soluble and more amenable to manipulation. Understanding the chemistry of SWNTs is critical for rational modification of their properties, and several different procedures for chemical derivatization of CNs have been described in the last four years. These methods have been developed in an effort to understand the chemical derivatization and to control the properties of these systems. There is substantial interest in studying the photophysical properties of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) derivatives obtained by covalent [82] and noncovalent [83] functionalization, with the overall objective of obtaining materials with new properties [84]. Functionalization of SWNTs by covalent bonding can be achieved by two different approaches - the bonds can be formed either at the tube opening or on the lateral walls.
