A robust platform to construct molecular patchy particles with a pentiptycene skeleton toward controlled mesoscale structures

Abstract

Patchy particles with novel architecture and diverse applications have attracted significant attention in recent years. Nevertheless, the synthesis of well-define nanosize patchy particles with precise structure remains a challenge. Herein,...

A Thiol‐Michael Approach Towards Versatile Functionalized Cyclic Titanium‐Oxo Clusters

“…To search for new giant molecules in constructing superlattices, one approach is to use chemically precise inorganic transition metal clusters as building blocks. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Compared with extensively investigated nanoparticles, the precise chemical structures of transition metal clusters allow accurate control over microscopic structures and macroscopic properties of cluster-based materials. Over the past few decades, transition metal clusters have garnered considerable attention due to the distinctive physical and chemical properties.…”
