Fullerene Molecules

Selective Chemistry Of Single-walled Nanotubes - Structure and Reactivity
... Optical properties of carbon nanotubes Reactivity of fullerene molecules with respect to addition chemistries is strongly dependent on the curvature of the carbon ... In comparison with fullerene molecules single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) are moderately curved ... Consequently nanotubes are expected to be less reactive than most fullerene molecules due to their smaller curvature, but more reactive than a ...
