%X Organometallic hexahapto chromium metal complexation of single layer graphene, which involves constructive rehybridization of the graphene pi-system with the vacant chromium d orbital, leads to field effect devices which retain a high degree of the mobility with enhanced on-off ratio. This hexahapto mode of bonding between metal and graphene is quite distinct from the modification in electronic structure induced by conventional covalent sigma-bond formation with creation of sp3 carbon centers in graphene lattice and this chemistry is reversible.
