Electronic and mechanical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes by binding to porphyrin oligomers.
We report on the noncovalent binding of conjugated porphyrin oligomers to small diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and highlight two remarkable observations. First, the binding of the oligomers to SWNTs is so strong that it induces mechanical strain on the nanotubes in solution. The mag...
