Abstract. The results of quantum chemical calculations of the adsorption properties of chiral and achiral single-walled carbon nanotubes with respect to divalent oxygen atom are presented. Electronic structure calculations were performed using the molecular cluster model with boundary pseudoatoms and the MNDO and PM3 quantum chemical semiempirical methods. Calculations showed that carbon nanotubes exhibited chiral adsorption effect with respect to the adsorption of atoms on their surface. Adsorption energy oscillates as the diameter of nanotubes increases and is maximum for more metallic structures and minimum for dielectric tubes. The chiral adsorption effect can be used for applying conducting carbon nanotubes as most effective adsorbents in chemical sensor devices for recording particles considered in this work.
Key words: сarbon nanotubes, oxygen, adsorption, сhiral effect, еnergy and geometrical characteristics.
