| Research Abstract |
We have been developing the methodology to discriminate the handedness and diameter of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) through molecular recognition using chiral diporphyrin nanotweezers. Although relatively small diameters of SWNTs (less than 1.0 nm) were recognized well, nanotweezers were not able to form stable complexes with the SWNTs with the diameters larger than 1.0 nm. In this context, we designed chiral diporphyrin with much larger cavity; namely "nanocalipers". As expected, we obtained optically active SWNTs with more than 1.0 nm in diameter and, unexpectedly, enriched metallic SWNTs over semiconducting ones. The optically active metallic SWNTs are identified for the first time, in addition to the optically active semiconducting SWNTs with such large diameters. Higher selectivity to metallic SWNTs are observed in the case of pyrene-based nanocalipers.
