Research Abstract |
Since the electrical and optical properties of SWNTs are closely correlated to their structures, structural control of SWNTs is important for their applications. Therefore, we have been developing host-guest methodology to separate single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). In this study, we designed and synthesized chiral diporphyrin nanotweezers consisting of two chiral porpyrins and rigid spacer in between, and applied them to selective extraction of SWNTs, realizing high selectivity to the diameter and handedness of SWNTs.
