"Bottom-up" meets "top-down" assembly in nanoscale polyoxometalate clusters: self-assembly of [P4W52O178](24-) and disassembly to [P3W39O134](19-).

چکیده
The pH-controlled assembly/disassembly of a nanoscale {P4W52O178}24- cluster at pH 2 to a {P4W44O152}20- cluster at pH 3-5 via a {P3W39O134}19- cluster species at pH 2-3 to finally give {P2W19O69(OH2)}14- at pH 6 is reported. This process can be traced in the solid state crystallographically and in solution using dynamic light scattering studies.

Directed assembly of inorganic polyoxometalate-based micrometer-scale tubular architectures by using optical control.
The self-assembly of supramolecular architectures to produce functional systems and devices is a key goal where molecular design, self-assembly, and materials design need to be combined together. In polyoxometalate chemistry we have taken the challenge to understand the assembly of clusters from the molecular to the nanoscale, by using a range of approaches including control of the available sp...
متن کاملDiamondoids and DNA Nanotechnologies
Diamondoids are cage-like saturated hydrocarbons consisting of fused cyclohexane rings. The Diamondoids family of compounds is one of the best candidates for molecular building blocks (MBBs) in nanotechnology to construct organic nanostructures compared to other MBBs known so far. The challenge is to find a route for self-assembly of these cage hydrocarbons and their applications in the bottom-...

Bottom-up self-assembly process used in the fabrication of nanoscale devices yields significantly more defects compared to conventional top-down lithography used in CMOS fabrication. Therefore, applying defect tolerant design schemes is inevitable to be able to map the design to these programmable fabrics around defects. However, defect-aware design mapping could be very time consuming and comp...
