摘要
In contrast to earlier theoretical studies experimental expectation, full high-level (B3LYP/6-31G*) computations on various nanotube models reveal that SWCNTs with O, NH, CH2, and SiH2 addends favor opened structures rather than three-membered rings. Furthermore, the diagonal C-C bonds in (8,0) zigzag nanotubes, rather than C-C bonds parallel to the axis, are the favorable sites for chemical modification.
