Abstract

To overcome the negative effects of the biochemical application of nano-substances in medicine (toxicity problem), using the example of fullerene C60's first derivative (fullerenol, FD-C60), we show that their biophysical effect is possible through non-covalent hydrogen bonds when around FD-C60 water layers are formed. SD-C60 (Zeta potential is -43.29 mV) is much more stable than fullerol (Zeta potential is -25.85 mV), so agglomeration/fragmentation of the fullerol structure, due to instability, can cause toxic effects. When fullerol in solution was exposed to an oscillatory magnetic field with Re (real) part [250/-92 mT, H(ωt) = Acos(ωt)], water layers around FD-C60 (fullerenol) are formed according to the Penrose process of 3D tiling formation, and the second derivative, SD-C60 (or 3HFWC), is self-organized. However, when Im (imaginary) part [250/-92 mT, H(ωt) = Bisin (ωt)] of the external magnetic field is applied in addition to SD-C60, ordered water chains and bubbling of water ("micelle") are formed as a third derivative (TD-C60). Fullerol (FD-C60) interacts with biological structures biochemically, while the second (SD-C60) and third (TD-C60) derivatives act biophysically via non-covalent hydrogen bond oscillation. SD-C60 and TD-C60 significantly increased water solubility and reduced toxicity. The paper explains the synthesis of SD-C60 and TD-C60 from FD-C60 (fullerol) as a precursor by the influence of an oscillatory magnetic field ("Yin-Yang" principle) on hydrogen…
