Abstract

Interactions of functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with tethered pyrenes in solution were investigated. Absorption and emission properties of the pyrene moieties tethered to the carbon nanotubes were investigated. The absorption spectra showed that there was no ground-state complexation between the pyrenes and nanotubes. The fluorescence and the fluorescence excitation results showed that 'intramolecular' excimers were formed by the tethered pyrenes and the nature of excimer formation was dynamic.
