Influence of spatial isomerism of tetrathiacalix[4]arene functionalized by hydrazide groups on self-organization and physicochemical properties of aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solutions of low concentration

Abstract

264 Recently, we have discovered a new phenomenon that opens the way to elucidating the mechanism of the effect of weak action of different nature on living organisms [1–5]. This phenomenon, referred to as “effect of ultralow concentrations and electromag netic fields” [2], consists in the formation of nano sized molecular ensembles, so called nanoassociates, in aqueous solutions of low concentrations. The nanoassociate formation is responsible for the emer gence of unique physicochemical properties of dilute solutions and, which is especially important, corre lates with bioeffects of these solutions [3, 4]. Forma tion of nanoassociates is initiated by a solute under certain conditions, the most essential among which are the presence of external electromagnetic fields and a definite structure of a substance [5].
