Electron spectroscopies play an essential role in the experimental char- acterization of the electronic structure of solids. After a short description of the techniques used, the paper reviews some of the most important results obtained on purified single- and multi-wall carbon nanotubes, and intercalated nanotubes as well. An analysis of the occupied and unoccupied electron states, and the plas- mon structure of the nanotubes is provided. How this information can be used to characterize the samples is discussed. Whenever possible, a comparison between nanotube data and those fro mgraphite and C60 fullerene is made, as to draw a coherent picture in the light of recent theories on the electronic properties of these C-sp2 materials. Carbon-based π-electron system are becoming more and more important in solid state physics, chemistry and in material science. These systems com- prise graphite, conjugated polymers and oligomers, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. Many systems can be “doped” or intercalated. In this way new materials can be tailored having interesting properties. These new materials have often become model compounds in solid state physics since they show metallic and semiconducting behavior, superconductivity and magnetism. Correlation effects, which result from electron-electron interactions, and the electron-phonon interaction, are important in many o fthese systems. Dimen- sionality plays an important role, too. Thu
