Various model approaches for describing the equilibrium complexation of aromatic biologically active compounds with fullerene C60 molecules are proposed. Equilibrium constants of complexation for structurally different biologically active compounds in the aquatic environment were obtained based on these approaches. Models of continuous and discrete aggregation of C60 molecules are proposed, taking into account the polydisperse nature of fullerene solutions. The model of continuous aggregation considers the sequential growth of aggregates upon addition of C60 fullerene monomers to the already existing aggregates, with the equilibrium self-association constant of fullerene KF being the same for all stages of aggregation. The discrete model takes into account the presence of separate stable aggregates and fractal type of the higher aggregates formation from C60 fullerene aggregates. It is achieved by using the simplest two-level hierarchy of clusters distribution in the fractal series 1-4-7-13, known from the literature data. The model of continuous aggregation represents the classical approach used throughout to describe the aggregation of small molecules, while the discrete aggregation model can only be applied to fullerenes. The results obtained in this study lead to the conclusion that fullerene C60 can form stable complexes with aromatic antitumor drugs, which open the possibility of using these substrates in the future in cancer therapy.

Although the properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are very well-known and are still extensively studied, a thorough understanding of other carbon-based nanomaterials such as C3N nanotubes (C3NNTs) is still missing. In this article, we used molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the effects of parameters such as chirality, diameter, number of walls, and temperature on the mechanical properties of C3N nanotubes, C3N nanobuds, and C3NNTs with various kinds of defects. We also modeled and tested the corresponding CNTs to validate the results and understand how replacing one C atom of CNT by one N atom affects the properties. Our results demonstrate that the Young’s modulus of single-walled C3NNTs (SWC3NNTs) increased with diameter, irrespective of the chirality, and was higher in armchair SWC3NNTs than in zigzag ones, unlike double-walled C3NNTs. Besides, adding a second and then a third wall to SWC3NNTs significantly improved their properties. In contrast, the properties of C3N nanobuds produced by attaching an increasing number of C60 fullerenes gradually decreased. Moreover, considering C3NNTs with different types of defects revealed that two-atom vacancies resulted in the greatest reduction of all the properties studied, while Stone–Wales defects had the lowest effect on them.
