Abstract
Carbon nanostructures (CNs) as carbon nanotubes or graphene present unique electronic properties appropriate for the synthesis of custom-made hybrids by functionalization with other electroactive fragments. In this way, the behaviour of CNs as electron acceptor by covalent or supramolecular functionalization of carbon nanotubes and graphene with electron-donating molecules has been object of great interest as the resulting hybrids can be target of interest for solar energy conversion and many CNs-donor hybrids has been described. Nevertheless, much less work has been devoted to the role of CNs as electron donors by formation of hybrids with strong electron acceptors; in this way, along the last years we have prepared several covalent or supramolecular hybrids between single wall carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns or graphene with fullerene derivatives. In this talk, I´ll present our last findings in the synthesis and properties of CN-electron acceptor hybrids.
