Ligand-Shell Softness Directs Symmetry Transitions in Nanotripod Superstructures

Abstract Low-symmetry, nonconvex nanocrystals offer access to superlattices with structural motifs that are difficult to realize from convex building blocks. Here, we show that polymer-grafted Gd2O3 nanotripods assemble into compact achiral and open chiral nanoporous superstructu...
