Surface-assisted coordination chemistry and self-assembly.
This article discusses different approaches to build up supramolecular nanoarchitectures on surfaces, which were simultaneously investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on the single-molecule level. Following this general road map, first, the hydrogen-bonding guided self-assembly of two different, structural-equivalent molecular building blocks, azobenzene dicarboxylic acid and stilb...
متن کاملInterfacial self-assembly of cell-like filamentous microcapsules.
We report herein the development of a self-assembly method to rapidly produce cell-like, filamentous microcapsules (MCs) that have high surface area and encapsulate liquids or gels. The fibrous surfaces and shell walls of the MCs can be biologically functionalized using bioactive peptide amphiphiles (PAs), and the cores can harbor biopolymers, proteins, and other macromolecules. This novel meth...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of fatty acids in the presence of amines and cationic components.
Fatty acids can self-assemble under various shapes in the presence of amines or cationic components. We assemble and compare these types of self-assembly leading toward a catanionic system either with a cationic surfactant or with an amine component playing the role of counter-ion. First, we focus on the molar ratio as a key driving parameter. Known and yet un-known values from other quantities...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of long chain fatty acids: effect of a methyl branch.
The morphology and molecular conformation of Langmuir-Blodgett deposited and floating monolayers of a selection of straight chain (eicosanoic acid, EA), iso (19-methyl eicosanoic acid, 19-MEA), and anteiso (18-methyl eicosanoic acid, 18-MEA) fatty acids have been investigated by Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy (VSFS), AFM imaging, and the Langmuir trough. While the straight chain fatty a...
متن کاملProtein-assisted self-assembly of multifunctional nanoparticles.
A bioengineering method for self-assembly of multifunctional superstructures with in-advance programmable properties has been proposed. The method employs two unique proteins, barnase and barstar, to rapidly join the structural components together directly in water solutions. The properties of the superstructures can be designed on demand by linking different agents of various sizes and chemica...
