Noncovalent binding of carbon nanotubes by porphyrin oligomers.
(Figure Presented) Like the tentacles of an octopus: Porphyrin oligomers bind strongly to single-walled carbon nanotubes, and debundle multitube aggregates. The strength of this interaction increases sharply with the number of porphyrin units in the oligomer, and the affinity is greatest for chiral...
