چکیده

Components of the chiral vector of carbon nanotubes have been examined in role of structural descriptors. Two-variable models of water solubility and octanol water partition coefficient calculated with components of the chiral vectors have quite good statistical characteristics. These are in case of the water solubility: n=8, r(2)=0.99998, s=0.05338, F=126,611 (training set); n=8, r(2)=0.9999, s=0.09329, F=674,556 (test set) and in case of octanol water partition coefficient: n=8, r(2)=0.9991, s=0.3664, F=2927 (training set); n=8, r(2)=0.9996, s=0.2870, F=5928 (test set).

A New Approach on Estimation of Solubility and n-octanol/water Partition Coefficient for Organohalogen Compounds

The aqueous solubility (logW) and n-octanol/water partition coefficient (logP(OW)) are important properties for pharmacology, toxicology and medicinal chemistry. Based on an understanding of the dissolution process, the frontier orbital interaction model was suggested in the present paper to describe the solvent-solute interactions of organohalogen compounds and a general three-parameter model ...

Relevance of octanol-water distribution measurements to the potential ecological uptake of multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

Many potential applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) require various physicochemical modifications prior to use, suggesting that nanotubes having varied properties may pose risks in ecosystems. A means for estimating bioaccumulation potentials of variously modified CNTs for incorporation in predictive fate models would be highly valuable. An approach commonly used for sparingly soluble organi...

A molecular dynamics simulation of water transport through C and SiC nanotubes: Application for desalination

In this work the conduction of ion-water solution through two discrete bundles of armchair carbon and silicon carbide nanotubes, as useful membranes for water desalination, is studied. In order that studies on different types of nanotubes be comparable, the chiral vectors of C and Si-C nanotubes are selected as (7,7) and (5,5), respectively, so that    a similar volume of fluid is investigated ...

On the Mechanical Properties of Chiral Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are specific structures with valuable characteristics. In general, the structure of each nanotube is defined by a unique chiral vector. In this paper, different structures of short single-walled CNTs are simulated and their mechanical properties are determined using finite element method. For this aim, a simple algorithm is presented which is able to model the geometry o...

Toxicology of the Herbicide Acrolein: Risk Assessment in Aquatic Environments

Submersed weeds on irrigation systems reduce water delivery capacity, clog pumps and structures, rupture canals, increase leakages and losses of water, increase water costs, etc. (U.S.EPA, 2007). Herbicide applications are a commonly used procedure to control submersed weeds in irrigation canals because of its practicability, efficacy and cost. Acrolein, currently registered under the trade nam...
