Microwave assisted covalent functionalization of C60@SWCNT peapods

Abstract

The covalent functionalization of the external wall of C60@SWCNT peapods, by in situ generated aryl diazonium salts, assisted by microwave irradiation is reported. Spectroscopic, thermal and microscopy characterization was performed. Electrochemistry revealed the three reversible reductions of encapsulated C60, however, shifted towards positive potentials when compared with those of intact C60.
