Title: Covalent Functionalization of Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes by Radical Decarboxylation
Authors: Ashleigh L. Farnsworth, Yvonne Hora, Ruoxin Wang, Chima Anyaegbu, Bhagya Dharmasiri, Luke C. Henderson, Joel F. Hooper
Publication Year: 2025
Subject Terms: Biochemistry, Medicine, Genetics, Pharmacology, Biotechnology, Cancer, Space Science, Environmental Sciences not elsewhere classified, Biological Sciences not elsewhere classified, Mathematical Sciences not elsewhere classified, Chemical Sciences not elsewhere classified, complex drug molecule, two complementary methods, utilizing oxidative, small molecules, reductive conditions, radical decarboxylation, generate radicals, effective strategy, covalent modification, covalent functionalization, carboxylic acids, carbon nanotubes, active esters
Description: We have demonstrated that the radical decarboxylation of carboxylic acids or redox-active esters is a simple and effective strategy for the covalent modification of graphene and carbon nanotubes. Two complementary methods are described in this paper, utilizing oxidative or reductive conditions to generate radicals from carboxylic acids or redox-active esters, respectively. We have applied these methods to the conjugation of small molecules, a complex drug molecule, and polymers to graphene and carbon nanotubes.
