Organic crystals of trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)-N-methylstilbazolium] p-tosylate (DAST) with enhanced nonlinear optical properties were successfully prepared at the nanometre scale due to the influence of a carbosiloxane dendrimer (CSiO-D).
Femptolitre droplets deposited on surfaces assisted by an AFM tip are used as reactor vessels to fabricate arrays of nanoarchitectures ranging from single-crystals of metal-organic frameworks to hollow capsules of magnetic polyoxometalates.
