Porous pillared graphene oxide (GO) materials were prepared using solvothermal reaction of Hummers GO with solution of Tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (TKAm) in methanol. The intercalation of TKAm molecules between individual GO sheets, performed under swelling condition, results in expansion of inter-layer distance of GO from ∼7.5 Å to 13-14 Å. Pillaring GO with bulky, rigid 3D shaped TKAm molecules...
Two different lipophilic guanosine derivatives (LipoGs) have been used for the disaggregation of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in chloroform. UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometry, Raman spectroscopy and NIR-photoluminescence measurements as well as AFM and SEM highlight a well debundling of SWCNTs while fluorescence measurements show the adsorption of LipoGs onto SWCNT surface. The ability of LipoGs...
The design, synthesis and complete characterization of a smart material composed of single-walled nanotubes functionalized with spiropyran-based photo switchable molecules are reported. The chemical complexity of the system requires the use of a range of complementary techniques in order to provide a complete picture of the composition and performance of the nanomaterial. Thermal gravimetric analysis...
We report the synthesis and characterization of several hybrid [60]fullerene–SWCNT materials that combine [60]fullerenes with appended photoactive ferrocenyl or porphyrinyl functionalities and SWCNTs into a single multifunctional structure, where the dyads are covalently attached to the exo-surface of SWCNTs. The structural properties of all hybrids have been characterized using a large variety of...
We report the spectroscopic changes of tetraphenylporphyrin carbon nanotube composites in a variety of chlorinated solvents such as chloroform, dichloroethane and dichlorobenzene as a result of sonication. Detailed data analysis suggests that protonation of the porphyrin core nitrogen atoms occurs as a result of sonodegradation of the solvent molecules. Extreme care must be taken when working with...
