This review describes the latest advances in the synthesis and assembly of specific colloids
such as the colloidal molecules as defined by van Blaaderen in 2003 and the patchy …

Integrating nanoscale building blocks of low dimensionality (0D; ie, spheres) into higher
dimensional structures endows them and their corresponding materials with emergent …

Self-assembly of ligand 1 and Pd (NO3) 2 delivers Fujita-type metal–organic polyhedron
(MOP) 3 which bears 24 covalently attached methyl viologen units on its external surface, as …

The burgeoning need to fabricate new functional materials through the assembly of colloidal
building blocks has motivated an intensive research focused on patchy particles. A large …

Conspectus Colloidal self-assembly is a bottom-up technique to fabricate functional
nanomaterials, with paramount interest stemming from programmable assembly of smaller …

Control over the stimuli-responsive behavior of smart molecular systems can influence their
capability to execute complex functionalities. Herein, we report the development of a suite of …

A facile method to synthesize shape‐shifting patchy particles on the colloidal scale is
described. The design is based on the solvent‐induced shifting of the patch shape between …

This review article focuses on supramolecular assemblies involving cucurbit [n] uril‐based
containers and viologen guests as key building elements. Cucurbit [n] urils (CB [n], n= 5–8 …

Since their initial presentation in 2005 by Yaghi and co-workers, covalent organic
frameworks (COFs) have been the focus of much development. Here we introduce …

A series of self-assembled functional Pt (II) molecular hexagons (M1–M3) is reported.
Hexagons M1 and M2 were designed employing aggregation induced emissive and …
