โฆ Synopsis
We have performed 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on single-walled carbon nanotubes. Spectrum, shift, linewidth, and T 1 have been measured as a function of temperature from 4.6 K to 200 K under the magnetic field of 4.7 T. Spectrum shows a narrow lineshape for the 13 C nucleus. Shift is very small around 100 ppm and shows no significant change in the whole temperature range. The linewidth becomes broader with decreasing temperature from 13 kHz at 200 K to 22 kHz at 4.6 K. The spin-lattice relaxation recovery is made of three channels of relaxation like other nanotubes. However, all three relaxation rates are very weakly dependent on temperature. While the fastest rate is found to come from remaining catalysts after synthesis, the other two rates from metallic and semiconducting parts of the nanotubes seem to be altered during exposure to the atmosphere.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can react with C 60 through simple solid-phase mechanochemical reaction at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere to produce C 60 modified SWNTs.
Formyl or aldehyde groups are transferred to the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by reaction of reduced carbon nanotubes with N-formylpiperidine. This could open the way for more versatile chemical modification reactions of carbon nanotubes than is currently possible using functio
