Abstract
The first calculations calculations were used to study interaction between carbon nanotubes and organic molecules including benzene, cyclohexane and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone. The equilibrium tube-molecule distance, adsorption energy and charge transfer were obtained. It was shown that noncovalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes by aromatic molecules is an efficient way to control the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes.
