Conjugated polymers have attracted much attention for many years and have applications in various organic devices. Carbon nanotubes can be considered as all-carbon tube-shaped conjugated polymers containing only <i>sp</i><sup>2</sup>-bonded atoms, which play an important role in nanotechnology and nanoelectronics. So far, no study has reported the realization of long π-conjugated polymers as diameter-specified carbon nanotube segments. Herein, we report the first synthesis of a π-conjugated polymeric segment (<b>PS1</b>) of armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes. <b>PS1</b> is achieved by a rationally designed synthesis of a bifunctionalized cyclo-<i>para</i>-phenylene monomer, followed by inserting these ring-shaped units into the conjugated <a>poly-<i>para</i>-phenylene </a>backbone. Our <b>PS1</b> was fully characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) combined with NMR, FTIR, and Raman spectra. Its photophysical and unique electronic properties were also investigated. Possessing unique structural and physical properties, this long π-extended polymer <b>PS1</b> can provide new insight for the development of <a></a><a>bottom-up syntheses </a><a></a><a>of uniform </a>carbon nanotube segments and potential applications in electron-transport devices.

AbstractSingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been modified with ester groups using typical organic radical chemistry. Consequently, traps for mobile excitons have been created, which enhanced the optical properties of the material. The proposed methodology combines the benefits of mainstream approaches to create luminescent defects in SWCNTs while it simultaneously avoids their limitations. A step change was achieved when the aqueous medium was abandoned. The selection of an appropriate organic solvent enabled much more facile modification of SWCNTs. The presented technique is quick and versatile as it can engage numerous reactants to tune the light emission capabilities of SWCNTs. Importantly, it can also utilize SWCNTs sorted by chirality using conjugated polymers to enhance their light emission capabilities. Such differentiation is conducted in organic solvents, so monochiral SWCNT can be directly functionalized using the demonstrated concept in the same medium without the need to redisperse the material in water.
