Assembly of Gold Nanoparticles on a Molecular Ultrathin Film: Tuning the Surface Plasmon Resonance

A number of methodologies for immobilizing metal nanoparticles in 2‐dimensional aggregate structures on various substrates, some with concomitant tuning of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), have been reported. Many of them involve special functionalization of the nanoparticles, multiple fabrication steps or lengthy procedures. The present study demonstrates that monolayer Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film of a hemicyanine‐based amphiphile with cationic headgroup is an easily fabricated platform for harnessing citrate‐stabilized gold nanoparticles. It is shown that a single immersion step can be used to immobilize the nanoparticles uniformly on large area films and that systematic variation of the immersion time from 10 min to 6 h leads to controlled assembly of the particles and tuning of the SPR band over ～100 nm. A model for the structural reorganization in the LB film that facilitates the assembly of nanoparticles is presented and the advantages of the current methodology over earlier protocols are pointed out. The versatility of LB films in terms of the molecular level control of fabrication it enables and the variety of film structures that can be realized, point to the wide scope for future explorations, expanding upon the present observations.

A Molecular Chameleon: Chromophoric Sensing by a Self-Complexing Molecular Assembly

A color change from purple to green takes place on addition of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) to the macrobicyclic receptor 1 ⁴⁺, which is composed of a cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) tetracation that shares one of its paraphenylene rings with a 1,5-naphthoparaphenylene-[36]crown-10 macrocycle. The TTF molecule forces the macrobicycle to turn inside out (see schematic drawing below) and displaces the self-complexed 1,5-dioxynaphthalene ring system from the center of the tetracationic cyclophane.     

Solid-State Photochromism by Molecular Assembly of Bis-o-carboranyl Siloles

A new type of solid-state photochromism was observed in an AB₂-type molecular assembly comprising a central silole and two peripheral o-carborane units, and in this assembly, depending on the assembling positions of those units at the adjoining benzene ring, two different regioisomers were formed: Si-m-Cb and Si-p-Cb . Each isomer showed different solid-state photochromism depending on its solid-state molecular conformation and was either in the crystalline or amorphous state. The crystals of each meta- or para-isomer, C_Si-m-Cb or C_Si-p-Cb, showed yellow or blue emission, and mechanically grinding those crystals into amorphous powders of A_Si-m-Cb and A_Si-p-Cb, switched their emissions to blue and yellow, respectively. Photophysical studies revealed that the electronic interaction between silole and o-carborane units determined the emission color. The crystal and DFT-optimized structures each account for the crystalline and amorphous structures, respectively, and are correlated well with the electronic interactions in the molecular assembly in the solid state, thus enabling the prediction of the solid-state molecular conformational change.

Electro-assisted Molecular Assembly Giving Atomic-Scale Catalytic Active-Site Detection

The artificially accurate design of nonmetal electrocatalysts’ active site has been a huge challenge because no pure active species with the specific structure could be strictly controlled by traditional synthetic methods. Species with a multiconfiguration in the catalyst hinder identification of the active site and the subsequent comprehension of the reaction mechanism. We have developed a novel electro-assisted molecular assembly strategy to obtain a pure pentagon ring on perfect graphene avoiding other reconstructed structures. More importantly, the active atom was confirmed by the subtle passivation process as the topmost carbon atom. Recognition of the carbon-defect electrocatalysis reaction mechanism was first downsized to the single-atom scale from the experimental perspective. It is expected that this innovative electro-assisted molecular assembly strategy could be extensively applied in the active structure-controlled synthesis of nonmetal electrocatalysts and verification of the exact active atom.

Boronic Acids in Molecular Self‐Assembly

The reversibility of boronic acid and diol interaction makes it an ideal candidate for the design of self‐assembled molecular structures. Reversibility is required to ensure that the thermodynamically most stable structure is formed. Reversibility also ensures that any errors produced during the assembly process are not permanent.     

Assembly and Photophysics of Ternary Luminescent Lanthanide Molecular Complex Systems

In this paper, according to the molecular fragment principle, a series of eight ternary luminescent lanthanide complex systems were assembled, and whose compositions were determined with elemental analysis and infrared spectrum: Ln(MA)₃(L)·H₂O, where Ln = Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy; HMA = α‐methylacrylic acid; L = 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), 2,2′‐bipyridine (bipy). The photophysical properties of these functional molecular systems were studied with ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectrum, and fluorescence excitation and emission spectrum. It was found that the heterocylic compounds (phen and bipy) act as the main energy donor and luminescence sensitizer for their suitable energy match and effective energy transfer to the emission energy level of Ln³⁺ ions. MMA ligand was only used as the terminal structural ligand to influence the luminescence. Especially terbium complex systems show the strongest luminescence for the optimum energy match and transfer between phen (bipy) and Tb³⁺ ion.     

亚甲蓝在分子有序组合体中的聚集行为

研究了生物染色剂亚甲蓝(MB)在分子有序组合体(胶束、O/W微乳液和层状液晶)介质中的聚集行为。根据MB特征峰处的吸收光谱值，计算了MB的二聚平衡常数和相应单体、二聚体的摩尔消光系数。并用稳态荧光法和无外加探针的循环伏安法进一步论证了计算结果。研究发现，当MB总浓度一定时，在胶束体系中MB单体量较少，在层状液晶体系中单体量较多，在O/W微乳液体系中则介于胶束和层状液晶之间。表明层状液晶体系是获取更多MB单体的理想介质。

Silver Nanowire-Templated Molecular Nanopatterning and Nanoparticle Assembly for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

Developing simple and cost-efficient methods for fabricating molecular patterns is of great importance in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Here, a simple and convenient method was developed for fabricating nanopatterns composed of positively charged silane molecules by using silver nanowires as templates. The as-obtained silane pattern copies the shape of the silver nanowires and is only 0.7 nm thick, which can later be used for templated assembly of small molecules and nanoparticles of opposite charges. As a proof of concept, the resultant assembly could be further used for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.     

Supramolecular Assembly through Interactions between Molecular Dipoles and Alkali Metal Ions

Establishing a way to fabricate well‐ordered molecular structures is a necessary step toward advancement in organic optoelectronic devices. Here, we propose to use interactions between electric dipoles of molecules and alkali metal ions to form a well‐developed homogeneous monolayer of diarylethene molecules on the Cu(111) surface with the aid of NaCl co‐deposition. Scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculation results indicate that the formation of a row‐type structure occurs as a result of interactions between the Na⁺ ions and the diarylethene molecular dipoles, drastically changing the adsorption configuration from that without Na⁺.
