Spherical fractal aggregates of approximately 10 microm were formed from a pi-electronic amphiphile, C(60)-didodecyloxybenzene dyad when extracted from THF into water, necessitating a critical dielectric constant epsilon > or =30 in binary THF-water mixtures. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the unit cluster to such a form involves an aggregation number approximately 90 with predominant soft associative molecular interactions which corroborated the octadecahedral model proposed for the cluster growth.
当从四氢呋喃(THF)萃取到水中时,π电子两亲物C(60)-二十二烷氧基苯二聚体形成了约10微米的球形分形聚集体,这使得在二元THF - 水混合物中需要临界介电常数ε≥30。分子动力学模拟表明,形成这种形式的单位聚集体涉及的聚集数约为90,主要是软缔合分子相互作用,这证实了为聚集体生长提出的十八面体模型。
