We report on a new, orginal and efficient method for "pi-stacking"functionalization of single wall carbon nanotubes. This method is applied tothe synthesis of a high-yield light-harvesting system combining single wallcarbon nanotubes and porphyrin molecules. We developed a micelle swellingtechnique that leads to controlled and stable complexes presenting an efficientenergy transfer. We demonstrate the key role of the organic solvent in thefunctionalization mechanism. By swelling the micelles, the solvent helps thenon water soluble porphyrins to reach the micelle core and allows a strongenhancement of the interaction between porphyrins and nanotubes. This techniqueopens new avenues for the functionalization of carbon nanostructures.
