• Side-to-side SWCNT junctions connected via ester, amide and anhydride linkages are investigated.
• Different junctions based on orientation of molecular linker and types of SWCNT are described.
• Structural, energetic and electronic properties are discussed.
In this paper, we have investigated the chemical bond interactions between covalently functionalized zigzag (5,0) and (8,0) SWCNT–SWCNT via various covalent linkages. Side-to-side junctions connected via amide, ester and anhydride linkages were particularly studied. The geometries and energy of the forming reaction were investigated using first-principles density functional theory. Furthermore, the band structures and the total density of states (DOS) of the junctions have also been analyzed. Our results show that several promising structures could be obtained by using chemical connection strategy and particularly the junctions formed by coupling amino functionalized SWCNT and carboxylic acid functionalized SWCNT was more favorable.
