Finite-length models of chiral semiconducting carbon nanotubes based on Clar sextet theory allowed carrying out accurate calculations, performed by application of gradient-corrected density functional theory, on the energetic of sidewall reactions. In particular, we analyzed the addition of atomic fluorine and carbene (CH2) to (6,4) and (6,5) nanotubes, finding excellent convergence of reaction energies with respect to the model length and good agreement with literature data. Our study demonstrates the importance of using models of carbon nanotubes based on chemical considerations to evaluate consistently the electronic and reactive properties of the sidewall.
