We conducted the chiral separation of functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with dibromopropane derivatives. Depending on their chirality and diameter, the thermal treatment of functionalized SWNTs leads to a shift in the emission radiation to longer wavelengths owing to rearrangement reaction in competition with elimination reaction.
