摘要
A theoretical study of gas-phase esterification of monocarboxy fragments of armchair (10,10) and zigzag (16,0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with methanol was performed by using a two-level ONIOM approach. The results suggest that the reaction is favorable on armchair SWNT tips, contrary to that on the zigzag nanotube tips. Gas-phase esterification might be a route to selective derivatization of different forms of carbon nanotubes.
