Supramolecular Electronic Interactions in Porphyrin-SWCNT Hybrids through Amidinium-Carboxylate Connectivity

Org Lett. 2017 Sep 15;19(18):4810-4813. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b02239. Epub 2017 Sep 6.

Abstract

New supramolecular (metal)porphyrin/SWCNT hybrids have been synthesized through a combination of hydrogen bond and electrostatic interactions. Our experimental findings reveal through different techniques (XPS, TGA, UV-vis, Raman, and TEM) an efficient n-doping of the SWCNT from the electron donor (metal)porphyrin through the efficient and strong amidinium-carboxylate connectivity.
