AB  - The attempt to decorate carbon nanotubes with organic molecules to form new 
      functional materials has attracted broad attention in the scientific community. 
      Here, we report the covalent functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes 
      (MWCNTs) with pyrene via Cu(I)-catalysed azide/alkyne click (CuAAC) reactions 
      under mild conditions to afford the nanocomposites of pyrene-MWCNTs. Fourier 
      transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy 
      (UV-Vis), and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the 
      nanocomposites of pyrene clicked MWCNTs. Experimental results indicate that the 
      CuAAC reaction occurs in an efficient manner and the spacer linking MWCNTs and 
      the photoactive molecule is well defined. In contrast to the noncovalent 
      functionalization of pi-pi stacking, the nanocomposites of pyrene clicked MWCNTs 
      show relatively strong fluorescence and have potential applicability in 
      photoluminescent devices as a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence 
      "turn-off" sensor for Fe(3+).
