Ioversol, an organoiodine compound, has high iodine content and several hydrophilic groups. 1- N ,3- N -bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-5-[(2-hydroxyacetyl)-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2,4,6-triiodobenzene-1,3- dicarboxamide (ioversol) and its derivatives are used in a wide variety of X-ray procedures, such as computed tomography scans, imaging of the kidneys, arteries and veins. DFT calculations at B3LYP level with LANL2DZ and DGDZVP basis sets were performed to determine electronic, structural and thermodynamic properties of the ioversol contrast agent in gas and water phases. In this study, we investigated the effect of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Si-doped CNT on the properties of ioversol, a contrast agent in gas phase and in water phase.
