The use of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as near-infrared optical probes and sensors require the ability to simultaneously modulate nanotube fluorescence and functionally derivatize the nanotube surface using noncovalent methods. We synthesized a small library of polycarbodiimides to noncovalently encapsulate SWCNTs with a diverse set of functional coatings, enabling their suspension in aqueous solution. These polymers, known to adopt helical conformations, exhibited ordered surface coverage on the nanotubes and allowed systematic modulation of nanotube optical properties, producing up to 12-fold differences in photoluminescence efficiency. Polymer cloaking of the fluorescent nanotubes facilitated the first instance of controllable and reversible internanotube exciton energy transfer, allowing kinetic measurements of dynamic self-assembly and disassembly.

A 2,2,2-trifluroenthanol (TFE) promoted synthesis of unsymmetric ureas was described. This approach enabled the construction of a variety of ureas from the readily prepared and easy-to-handle dioxazolones and amines via tandem Lossen rearrangement/condensation process. The reaction featured mild conditions for the urea synthesis under metal-free conditions, which was successively applied in the scale-up synthesis of herbicides Monuro and Isoproturon.

Paragraph 0186, (2016/03/16)
Described herein are suspensions of helical polycarbodiimide polymers that 'cloak' nanotubes, thereby effecting control over nanotube emission, providing a new mechanism of environmental responsivity, and enabling precise control over sub-cellular localiz
