Control over Electron Transfer in Tetrathiafulvalene‐Modified Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

Spaced out: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with covalently linked tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives have been synthetized and fully characterized as potential donor–acceptor nanoconjugates. Near-infrared flourescence and transient absorption measurements showed that the charge recombination dynamics is a function of the spacer linking the two moieties and the donor ability of the different TTF derivatives.
