Archimedean solids: transition metal mediated rational self-assembly of supramolecular-truncated tetrahedra.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A family of nanoscale-sized supramolecular cage compounds with a polyhedral framework is prepared by self-assembly from tritopic building blocks and rectangular corner units via noncovalent coordination interactions. These highly symmetrical cage compounds are described as face-directed, self-assembled truncated tetrahedra with T(d) symmetry.

Supramolecular Organometallic Architecture via Self-assembly
The formation of discrete supramolecular entities driven and held together through metal coordination has remained an intense area of study for the past decade. An attractive feature of this methodology is the rational design of diverse structures of predetermined shape, size, and functionality based on symmetry considerations. Creating new supramolecular architectures tests and refines our und...
متن کاملEdge Unfoldings of Platonic Solids Never Overlap
Is every edge unfolding of every Platonic solid overlapfree? The answer is yes. In other words, if we develop a Platonic solid by cutting along its edges, we always obtain a flat nonoverlapping simple polygon. We also give self-overlapping general unfoldings of Platonic solids other than the tetrahedron (i.e., a cube, an octahedron, a dodecahedron, and an icosahedron), and edge unfoldings of so...
متن کاملCrystalline assemblies and densest packings of a family of truncated tetrahedra and the role of directional entropic forces.
Polyhedra and their arrangements have intrigued humankind since the ancient Greeks and are today important motifs in condensed matter, with application to many classes of liquids and solids. Yet, little is known about the thermodynamically stable phases of polyhedrally shaped building blocks, such as faceted nanoparticles and colloids. Although hard particles are known to organize due to entrop...
متن کاملStudies in micelle-mediated Pd nucleation.
Manipulation of metal atom nucleation and particle growth in solution is virtually unexplored, but highly sought after for the creation of functional materials and rational design of supramolecular structures. We therefore decided to explore this area through the self-assembly of block copolymer micelles and Pd atoms without using a chemical reduction reaction.
متن کاملA nano-scale barrel and cube: transition metal-mediated self-assembly of CpCoCb-derived ligand scaffolds.
The synthetic strategies, challenges, and opportunities in transition metal-mediated supramolecular self-assembly (SSA) have been reviewed recently by Stang, Fujita, and Jones.1 Alternative topological motifs will continue to emerge as the SSA field evolves, providing more options for preparation of novel nanoscale architectures. In this regard, we wish to report the seminal results of our rece...
