1. A process for the exfoliation of a graphite-containing material, comprising a Diels-Alder reaction between the graphite-containing material and a compound of formula (I): wherein: X represents O or S; R1, R2, R3 and R4 independently represent a hydrogen atom, —NRARB, —N+RARBRC, —OR, —CO2M or —SO3M; or else R1 and R2, on the one hand, and R3 and R4, on the other hand, together form an optionally substituted unsaturated C6 cycloalkyl group to result in a pentacenone-type compound of formula (II) having the following structure: wherein: X represents O or S; R′1, R′2, R′3 and R′4 independently represent a hydrogen atom, —NRARB, —N+RARBRC, —OR, —CO2M or —SO3M; where M represents a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal atom; and each occurrence of R, RA, RB and RC independently represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched C1 to C16 alkyl; wherein the R radical can also represent, independently for each occurrence of R, a polyethylene glycol radical of formula: wherein n represents an integer from 1 to 6, preferably from 1 to 3, preferably 3; in an organic solvent, in the presence of a base, and under sonication, ball-milling and/or high-shear mixing, at a temperature of between 15° C. and 65° C., to obtain the corresponding graphene Diels-Alder adduct. |
