• mesoporous silica (MCM-41) [18]. So, ferrocene is expected to exhibit strong host–guest interactions with a nanographene host through π–π stacking. Regarding ferrocene as a guest molecule for nanocarbon hosts, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been used to accommodate guest ferrocene molecules, where the amount

The resultant imidazole-modified nanocarbons display a pH-responsive surface charge, as evidenced by NMR and zeta-potential measurements. In addition, solubilization of a nitrogen-doped nanocarbon (i.e

The development of new amphiphiles with large polyaromatic panels for strong aromatic–aromatic interactions and nonionic side-chains on the other hand would grant access to water-soluble nanocarbons with tunable surface properties, which could expand noncovalent nanocarbon chemistry and
