Exchange of solubilizers adsorbed on single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is probed by analysis of the peak shifts of the absorption bands of CNTs in the near-infrared region. Equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters of the exchange of sodium cholate for DNA (15-mers of oligo-DNAs, cytosine) on CNTs of different chirality are determined.
