Fluorination of single‐walled carbon nanotubes by reaction with elemental fluorine at elevated temperatures provides fluorinated single‐walled carbon nanotubes (F‐SWNT), which have the highest degree of functionalization (up to F/C=1/2) of any derivatized carbon‐nanotube material reported to date. Also, F‐SWNTs have received more scrutiny than any other functionalized carbon nanotubes. This Minireview covers experimental and computational investigations of F‐SWNTs with a focus on the nature and the strength of the C–F linkage.
