Your comment is of *extreme* interest to me, since I've just discovered
that a biological hydrogen-bonded complex I've been working with has
"nanocolloid" properties...and it does tend to aggregate.  Colloid
chemistry & physics is not my field.  Can you give me a clue as to where
in the literature I can find out about "amine, phosphine, or thiol
anti-aggregants"?  I've tried some web searches, to no avail.  Thanks!

PS  Your web site is a gas!  (Xenon, I think.)
