We have investigated reversible single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) oxidation by quantitative analysis of the oxide-induced absorption bleaching and luminescence quenching at low pH. These data, in combination with DFT structure calculations, suggest that the nanotube oxide is a 1,4-endoperoxide. At low pH, the endoperoxide protonates to create a hydroperoxide carbocation, introducing a hole in the SWNT valence band. Nanotube luminescence is extremely sensitive to quenching by hole-doping, while the absorption is relatively robust.
