Nanoparticle assembly can be controlled by multivalent binding interactions between surface ligands, indicating that more precise control over these interactions is important to design complex nanoscale architectures. It has been well-established in natural materials that the arrangement of different mol. species in three dimensions can affect the ability of individual supramol. units to coordinate their binding, thereby regulating the strength and specificity of their collective mol. interactions. However, in artificial systems, limited examples exist that quant. demonstrate how changes in nanoscale geometry can be used to rationally modulate the thermodn. of individual mol. binding interactions. As a result, the use of nanoscale design features to regulate mol. bonding remains an underutilized design handle to control nanomaterials synthesis. Here we demonstrate a polymer-coated nanoparticle material where supramol. bonding and nanoscale structure are used in conjunction to dictate the thermodn. of their multivalent interactions, resulting in emergent bundling of supramol. binding groups that would not be expected on the basis of the mol. structures alone. Addnl., we show that these emergent phenomena can controllably alter the superlattice symmetry by using the mesoscale particle arrangement to alter the thermodn. of the supramol. bonding behavior. The ability to rationally program mol. multivalency via a systems-level approach therefore provides a major step forward in the assembly of complex artificial structures, with implications for future designs of both nanoparticle- and supramol.-based materials. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, N-(6-Aminopyridin-2-yl)acetamide (cas: 1075-62-3Category: pyridine-derivatives).
N-(6-Aminopyridin-2-yl)acetamide (cas: 1075-62-3) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridine has a dipole moment and a weaker resonant stabilization than benzene (resonance energy 117 kJ·mol−1 in pyridine vs. 150 kJ·mol−1 in benzene). Pyridine groups exist in countless molecules, and their applications include catalysis, drug design, molecular recognition, and natural product synthesis.Category: pyridine-derivatives
