Carbon nanoparticle surface functionalisation: converting negatively charged sulfonate to positively charged sulfonamide.

The surface functionalities of commercial sulfonate-modified carbon nanoparticles (ca. 9-18 nm diameter, Emperor 2000) have been converted from negatively charged to positively charged via sulfonylchloride formation followed by reaction with amines to give suphonamides. With ethylenediamine, the res...
