Abstract
Ruthenium bipyridine or terpyridine complexes functionalized carbon-based nanocomposites have special properties in the electromagnetic and photochemical research field. The aims of this chapter include development of functionalized fullerene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene with ruthenium complex and characterization of their nanostructural properties. Such nanocomposites can be accomplished using either covalent or non-covalent functionalization methods.
