Unexpected solute aggregation in water on dilution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Nov 7:(21):2224-5. doi: 10.1039/b105399j.

Abstract

Studies on cluster-cluster aggregation phenomena in aqueous solutions of fullerene-cyclodextrin conjugates, beta-cyclodextrin, sodium chloride, sodium guanosine monophosphate, and a DNA oligonucleotide revealed that there are larger aggregates existent in dilute aqueous solutions than in more concentrated solutions.
