Abstract:Edge functionalization of graphene layers is of great interest in the field of materials chemistry: the properties of graphene are substantially unaltered and its compatibility and chemical reactivity with various environments can be tuned. In this work, edge functionalization of graphene layers was performed with a 2-pyrone, ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-carboxylate (Pyr-COOEt). 2-Pyrones are C-6 unsaturated heterocyclic sugar derivatives and are intriguing building blocks for the preparation of innovative… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
