2D Layered Dipeptide Crystals for Piezoelectric Applications (Adv. Funct. Mater. 43/2021)

Self-Assembly of Metabolite Nanostructures toward Functional Biomaterials

“…Zelenovskii et al demonstrated the preparation of 2D layered crystals of L,L-FF/D,D-FF via the coassembly of L,L-FF and D,D-FF dipeptide. 110 The 2D layered crystals exhibited a bilayer superposition formed by alternating sequences of L,L-FF and D,D-FF molecules rotated 180°. The two sheets were linked via hydrogen bonding interactions (Figure 6h).…”

“…The enhanced piezoelectric properties of metabolites were achieved with the well-organized supramolecular structures formed by coassembly. Zelenovskii et al demonstrated the preparation of 2D layered crystals of l , l -FF/ d , d -FF via the coassembly of l , l -FF and d , d -FF dipeptide . The 2D layered crystals exhibited a bilayer superposition formed by alternating sequences of l , l -FF and d , d -FF molecules rotated 180°.…”
