Aqueous dispersions of fullerene C70-filled carbon nanotubes (C70@SWNTs or peapods) and empty single-walled carbon nanotubes (empty SWNTs) were prepared with the aid of trimethyl-(2-oxo-2-pyrene-1-yl-ethyl)-ammonium bromide (1), which is a carbon nanotube solubilizer. This is the first report describing the preparation and characterization of the transparent dispersion/dissolution of the peapods. The UV-vis-near-IR spectra of C70@SWNTs-1 and empty SWNTs-1 were almost identical. We found by means of transmission electron microscopy and at. force microscopy that the empty SWNTs and C70-peapods form helical nanostructures in the shapes of rings, irregular rings, lassos, handcuffs, catenanes, pseudorotaxanes, and figure-eight structures. The mechanism of the superstructure formation has been discussed in relation to the unique characteristics of stiff polymer chains with the aid of an off-lattice Monte Carlo simulation. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Bromo-1-(pyren-1-yl)ethanone (cas: 80480-15-5Application of 80480-15-5).
2-Bromo-1-(pyren-1-yl)ethanone (cas: 80480-15-5) belongs to organobromine compounds. Bromo compounds are employed in a variety of metal-catalyzed coupling reactions. They are also ideal candidates for the synthesis of Grignard reagents that have wide-applicability in organic synthesis. Many of the alkyl bromine derivatives are excellent alkylating agents since bromides are good leaving groups. Tribromides, like tetrabutylammonium tribromide, are used as a solid source of bromine. N-bromosuccimide (NBS) is used for the selective bromination of allylic bonds.Application of 80480-15-5
