If n-hexane, formed by hydrolysis of the n-hexyllithium during workup, was adsorbed onto the SWNTs it would have been expected to evaporate at a much lower temperature as the boiling point of n-hexane is 69 °C. A control experiment in which n-hexane was added to virgin tubes and submitted for TGA analysis after being heated to 80 °C for 12 h under vacuum showed no evolution of n-hexane.
