The free energy associated with transferring a set of fullerene particles through a finite water layer is calculated using explicit solvent molecular dynamic simulations. Each fullerene particle is a carbon network of one or more spheroidal shells of graphitic carbon, and include single-shell (single-wall) or nested multi-shelled (nano-onions) structures ranging from 6 to 28 Å in radius. Corres...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of fullerene on chemical properties of naphazoline drug in   water by density functional theory (dft) methods.   materials and methods: naphazoline belongs to the imidazoline class of sympathomimetics.   the present study on naphazoline drug and its fullerene connected form were carried out using   computerized calculations of gaussian program in b3lyp/6-31g leve...

Here we report on the self-organization characteristics in water of two diastereomer pairs of fullerene-androsterone hybrids that have the hydrophobic C60 appendage in the A and D ring of the androsterone moiety, respectively. The morphology and particle size in aqueous solution were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), with satisfactory agree...

purpose: today considerable advances have been achieved in application of nano-particles.   fullerene is one of the artificial forms of carbon element. long life cycle of medicines in the   human body is a success factor in delivery of medicine to the specific place. lots of nanoparticles   are being developed in this field and from a medical point of view, achieving such   goals is vital. the ...

the fullerene structures of c20cage and bowl,c20h10 and their n-doped structures as c20cage nh,c20bowl nh, c20h10nh, c20h10n and their isomers are optimized using the mpw1pw91/6-31g level of the theory. magnetic shielding tensors of 14n and 13c atoms are calculated by the same level of the theory. results show that doping an n atom on fullerenes affects differently on the chemical shielding of ...
