Abstract:
We present a concept to modulate near infrared photoluminescence (NIR-PL) from locally-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (local-f-SWNTs) based on a molecular recognition approach using newly synthesized phenylboronic acid (PB)-functionalized local-f-SWNTs (PB-SWNTs) and saccharides, in which a selective PL spectral shift is observed by addition of the saccharides.
