چکیده

Tailored triarylamine units modified with terpyridine ligands were coordinated to Zn(2+) ions and characterized as discrete dimeric entities. Interestingly, when these complexes were subsequently irradiated with simple visible light in chloroform, they readily self-assembled into monodisperse spheres with a mean diameter of 160 nm.

Self-assembly of supramolecular triarylamine nanowires in mesoporous silica and biocompatible electrodes thereof.

Biocompatible silica-based mesoporous materials, which present high surface areas combined with uniform distribution of nanopores, can be organized in functional nanopatterns for a number of applications. However, silica is by essence an electrically insulating material which precludes applications for electro-chemical devices. The formation of hybrid electroactive silica nanostructures is thus...

Dipeptide concave nanospheres based on interfacially controlled self-assembly: from crescent to solid.

Concave nanospheres based on the self-assembly of simple dipeptides not only provide alternatives for modeling the interactions between biomacromolecules, but also present a range of applications for purification and separation, and delivery of active species. The kinetic control of the peptide assembly provides a unique opportunity to build functional and dynamic nanomaterials, such as concave...

Doxorubicin-triggered self-assembly of native amphiphilic peptides into spherical nanoparticles

In this study, we designed and fabricated self-assembly nanospheres, which consisted of a P45 peptide and doxorubicin (Dox). P45 is a hybrid peptide composed of an Arg-Gly-Asp motif linked to the human matrilin-1 C-terminal domain by a serine linker. The fabricated nanospheres had a uniform mulberry-like spherical shape, a diameter of 63 nm, excellent polydispersity, and high Dox drug-loading e...
