Fig. 5: Optimised structures, transition energies, and relative energies of SWNT adducts.

Optimised partial structures of a (6,5) SWNT>(CF2)4 and b CF3(CF2)3-(6,5) SWNT-H. c Six binding configurations of (6,5) SWNTs. The binding sites relative to the carbon atoms highlighted in the grey circle are presented as 1,2-L++ (
), 1,2-L+ (
), 1,2-L- (
), 1,4-L++ (
), 1,4-L+ (
), and 1,4-L- (
). d, e Calculated transition energies (eV) and relative energies (kcal/mol) of the model molecules of (6,5) SWNT>(CF2)4, (6,5) SWNT>(CH2)4, CF3(CF2)3-(6,5) SWNT-H, CF3(CF2)2CH2-(6,5) SWNT-H, CF3CF2(CH2)2-(6,5) SWNT-H, and CH3(CH2)3-(6,5) SWNT-H.
