Atomic-scale detection of organic molecules coupled to single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Journal article

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with organic molecules bearing high-scattering element tags have allowed direct visualization of modification on the atomic scale. The inclusion of these tags in protecting groups allowed their subsequent removal and reincorporation to allow visualization of corresponding protection and deprotection of organic molecules on the SWNT. This method, in conjunction with direct-Staudinger ligation of glycosyl azides to surface carboxylates allow...
