To resolve the controversy over the functionalization effect on conductivity, we systematically investigate the structural and electronic properties of graphene covalently functionalized with phenyl groups. Using first-principles calculations combined with the model Hamiltonian analysis, we find that the structural stability, electronic and transport properties of the functionalized graphene ar...

A three-component reaction of indoles, sulfonyl azides and terminal alkynes afforded 3-functionalized indoles in a single step via copper-cascade catalysis.

The binding state dependent quenching behaviour of functionalized dyes opens perspectives on directly monitoring binding and dissociation events in a catalytic cycle at the single molecule level.

Abstract: With their unique physicochemical properties, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have many potential new applications in medicine and industry. A biomedical application of single-wall carbon nanotubes such as drug delivery requires a fundamental understanding of their fate and toxicological profile after administration. However, the toxicity of SWCNT is barely known when they are...

the present study was carried out to investigate the potential of single-walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) as alternative adsorbents for the removal of basic red 46 (br 46) from contaminated water by using batch adsorption studies. effects of some key operating parameters such as ph, ionic strength and contact time on...

in this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (fmwcnt) were modified using doxycycline, containing reactable nitrogen, which can attach chemically to functionalized mwcnt. the synthesized nano compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) and raman spectroscopy. these spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide functional groups. the mor...

The electrical and textural properties of single-walled carbon nanotube buckypapers were tunned through chemical functionalization processes. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were covalently functionalized with three different chemical groups: Carboxylic acids (-COOH), benzylamine (-Ph-CH2-NH2), and perfluorooctylaniline (-Ph-(CF2)7-CF3). Functionalized SWCNTs were dispersed in water or ...

FeCl3.6H2O was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction of aromatic amines, aromatic aldehydes and β-keto esters in EtOH at room temperature. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are good yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need to column chromatography and easy work-up. The structures o...

the interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of pb(ii), cd(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...
