Study of solutions of supramolecular compounds
Creation of new well-ordered supramolecular materials with given structure and properties plays an important role in processes of creation of new nanocomposites, films, membranes, in nanobiotechnologies and nanomedicine. Because amphiphilic compounds (containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups) are the base of supramolecular compounds, it is very important to study processes of formation of clathrates, self-organization, creation of micellar systems in water-ethanol solutions, surface active compounds, polymers etc. One of our new problems is from the domain of energetics of biologic membranes: study of solvate and energetic properties of lipophylic cations, which can selectively penetrate membranes and deliver antioxidants into mitochondria of cells. Study of molecular interactions of such ions in water and bioobjects open fundamentally new opportunities of creating drug products and solving gerontology problems at the cell level.
