Carbon nanotube networks (CNTNs) are a promising material for applications in plastic electronics and spintronics, constituting an electrically and mechanically robust alternative to single CNTs. The range of possible applications is broadened by functionalization. Covalent functionalization with antiferromagnetic tetranuclear metal coordination complexes, facilitated by sidewall oxidation, results in a defined angle of the complex with respect to the tube and a net spin near the CNT.
Low-temperature electrical transport characteristics of the CNTNs, consisting of semiconducting and metallic tubes, exhibit a shift from localized hopping behavior to dominating metallic conduction upon increasing network density. Short thermal oxidation results in an enhanced conductivity. The CNTNs exhibit a negative magnetoresistance (MR). Covalent functionalization with {Co4}-complexes is observed to affect the magnitude of the MR at low temperatures, which corroborates the influence of these complexes on the transport in the CNTN.
