Abstract

Structural and conformational study of 2,2-dimethylpropane in open single-walled carbon nanotubes by means of the PBE/3z hybrid DFT method showed that the barrier to hindered rotation around the C-C bond appreciably increases as the nanotube diameter decreases. Concurrently, the orders and lengths of C-C bonds in the encapsulated molecule also decrease.
