Unexpectedly super strong paramagnetism of aromatic peptides due to cations
Abstract
We found that the AYFFF self-assemblies in the chloride solution of some divalent cations (Zn2+, Mg2+, and Cu2+) display super strong paramagnetism, which may approach the mass susceptibility of ferromagnetism. We attribute the observed super strong paramagnetism to the existence of the aromatic rings, which interact with the cations through cation-π interaction.
