Polyarene-functionalized fullerenes in carbon nanotubes: towards controlled geometry of molecular chains.

Mechanisms for controlling the assembly of molecular arrays in carbon nanotubes via alteration of the size and geometry of the functional groups attached to the molecules inserted into the nanotubes are studied. As model compounds, a series of structurally related fullerenes functionalized with poly...
