Extended Data Fig. 3: Angular radial distribution functions of solvent molecules closest to SWCNT surface.

Extended Data Fig. 3

Distribution of orientations of the angle between amide dipole vector and vector pointing towards the nanotube central axis for NMP (a) and DMAc (b). Distances from SWCNT surface provide in 1 Å bins within the first solvation shell, showing how ~90° orientation of solvents (that is, dipole parallel to nanotube axis) occurs for the closest solvent molecules, while further molecules within the first solvation shell (4- 6 Å) have dipoles directed towards the nanotube (<90°).
