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...

Nanoparticle ConversionChemistry: A Synthetic Frameworkfor Multielemental Nanostructures

Abstract The synthesis of multielemental nanoparticles with size- and shape-control has been studied over the last several decades due to their diverse applications in catalysis, plasmonics, solar cells, electronics, and even as theranostics. While solution-phase methods afford r...
