Silence, please! Single‐wall carbon nanotubes (NTs) are produced as a mixture of metals and semiconductors. Metallic NTs can be selectively derivatized by diazonium, but the selectivity does not allow preservation of semiconductor NTs; therefore, diazonium was replaced by diazoesters. The diazoester‐coupled NTs could be used without any purification for the fabrication of NT‐field‐effect transistors (see graphic).
