Abstract

We describe herein the synthesis of a triptycene-based surfactant designed with the ability to solubilise single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and C ₆₀ in water through non-covalent interactions. Furthermore, an amphiphilic naphthalene-based surfactant with the same ability to solubilise SWNTs and C ₆₀ has also been prepared. The compounds synthesised were designed with either two ionic or non-ionic tails to ensure a large number of supramolecular interactions with the solvent, thereby promoting strong solubilisation. The surfactants produced stable suspensions in which the SWNTs are dispersed and the surfactant/SWNT complexes formed are stable for more than one year. UV/Vis/NIR absorption spectroscopy, TEM and AFM were employed to probe the solubilisation properties of the dispersion of surfactants and SWNTs in water.
