Abstract

The (10, 10) single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) presents consistency between relativelysmall solubility, and large partition coefficients and kinetic stability. The solubility of SWNTsis investigated in a variety of solvents, finding a class of non-hydrogen-bonding Lewis basesthat provides good solubility. The organic solvent–water partition and hydrophobicmoment of lysozyme show that the main contribution to the water-accessible surface areaof helices is the hydrophobic term, while the hydrophilic part dominates in the sheet, whichis related to the 1-octanol–, cyclohexane– and chloroform–water partition coefficientsPo−ch−cf of helices, which are greater than those of the sheet. The molecular lipophilicity patterndifferentiates among helices, sheet and binding site.
