Abstract: In this paper, the influences of CH2Cl2, CHC13 and CCl4 on the liquid crystal structure of phosphatidythanolamine(PE) have been investigated by using the method of SAXS (the small angle X-ray scattering) respectively.The experimental results show the structure of the PEliquid crystal phase is primarily influenced by space-spinning electronic cloud density distribution of CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and CCl4.The compounds whose space-spinning electronic cloud density distribution assumes spinning oval ball in shape give the mechanism that makes the PEliquid crystal state to form hexagonal Iphase; The compounds whose space-spinning electronic cloud density distribution assumes spinning taper in shape give the mechanism that makes the PEliquid crystal state to form cubic-hexagonal phase.The compounds whose space-spinning electronic cloud density distribution assumes spinning ball in shape give the mechanism that makes the PEliquid crystal state to form lamemller-cube phase.
