Triazenes as a Stable Diazonium Source for Use in Functionalizing Carbon Nanotubes in Aqueous Suspensions

Organic triazene compounds are stable precursors to diazonium salts for functionalizing single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in aqueous media. This method is particularly useful when a target molecule has functionality that will not tolerate diazotization conditions. We illustrate this by detailing...

Description
Summary:Organic triazene compounds are stable precursors to diazonium salts for functionalizing single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in aqueous media. This method is particularly useful when a target molecule has functionality that will not tolerate diazotization conditions. We illustrate this by detailing the synthesis of a biotin-containing triazene followed by reaction with SWNTs.
