Metallic molecules to nanotubes: Ruthenium complexes dissolve nanotubes, add functionality

Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 16:30 in Physics & Chemistry

A lab has stepped forward with an efficient method to disperse nanotubes in a way that preserves their unique properties -- and adds more. The new technique allows inorganic metal complexes with different functionalities to remain in close contact with single-walled carbon nanotubes while keeping them separated in a solution.
