| Abstract: | Surface functionalization of CNTs (SWCNTs or MWCNTs) with dendronized alkoxy terpyridine‐Ru(II)‐terpyridine complexes has been accomplished using either the “grafting to” or the “grafting from” approaches. Different sets of easily processable hybrid metallo‐CNTs composites have been efficiently synthesized bearing either monomeric or polymeric side chain tpy‐Ru(II)‐tpy dicomplexes. Their characterization through TGA, UV‐Vis, and Raman techniques revealed various modification degrees depending on the methodology employed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
