Shaping Supramolecular Nanofibers with Nanoparticles Forming Complementary Hydrogen Bonds

Functionalized gold nanoparticles with complementary H‐bonding groups can control the secondary structure of xerogel fibers formed by a molecular conductor thanks to their incorporation into the nanowires, which show metal‐like conductivity once doped without the need for annealing. The picture show...

Description
Summary:Functionalized gold nanoparticles with complementary H‐bonding groups can control the secondary structure of xerogel fibers formed by a molecular conductor thanks to their incorporation into the nanowires, which show metal‐like conductivity once doped without the need for annealing. The picture shows a photograph of the xerogel, TEM images of Au particles in the gel and a single fiber, and an AFM image revealing the texture of the gel.
