Abstract
Radical-initiated support: Xanthates were used as chemical reagents for the sidewall covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes (see figure). The best grafting yields were obtained with stoichiometric ratios of xanthate and the radical initiator lauroyl peroxide. One grafted function was used as a tether for bimetallic cluster compounds, which were converted into very small (1-2 nm) supported nanoparticles upon heating.
