Abstract :
The combination of a carbon nanotube and
Methotrexate (an ordinary form of anticancer drug) was
investigated based on the Hartree–Fock theory calculations
in the gas phase, water and ethanol environment. Thermodynamic
functions including Gibbs free energy,
entropy, enthalpy changes were computed at different
temperatures. We found a relation between dipole moment
of the solute and dielectric constant of the solvent. The
Gibbs free energy of solvation is reduced by increasing the
dielectric constant of solvents.
