A pH sensor based upon gentle covalent modification of individual metallic single‐wall carbon nanotubes is demonstrated. The sensing mechanism relies upon the protonation‐dependent charge carrier scattering (see figure) by N , N ‐diethylaniline moieties anchored to the tube sidewall. This novel approach holds promise to extend the accessible range of nanotube‐based (bio)chemical sensors.
