The chemical bulk reductive covalent functionalization of thin layer black phosphorus (BP) using BP intercalation compounds has been developed. Through effective reductive activation, covalent functionalization of the charged BP is achieved by organic alkyl halides. Functionalization was extensively demonstrated by means of several spectroscopic techniques and DFT calculations, showing higher functionalization degrees than the neutral routes.
