Dynamic Light Scattering in Supramolecular Materials Chemistry

Abstract: This chapter reviews the use of dynamic light scattering (DLS) in the wide field of supramolecular materials chemistry through nonexhaustive yet representative examples. Aside from demonstrating the broad field of applicability of DLS, the basic principle of light scattering with reference to excellent publications on the theoretical background is recalled to highlight the major limitations of the technique to prevent misuse.

“…Additional information about the size of nanoscopic objects in solution can be obtained by dynamic light scattering experiments. [18] These DLS experiments confirmed the results of the DOSY NMR and ESI-MS studies for both complexes, and hence provide additional independent support of the size, and therefore, the composition of our assemblies (see Supporting Information), especially because these techniques could also be used to correctly characterize a [M 12 L 24 ] aggregate from Fujita et al [19] We were also able to grow quite well formed crystals from our complexes but owing to the very large voids in the crystal filled with disordered anions and solvent molecules, the X-ray scattering power of the crystals was so weak that not even a unit cell could be obtained. [20] We also performed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements to visualize the metallosupramolecular spheres.…”

“…Zusätzliche experimentelle Belege für die Grçße nanoskopischer Objekte in Lçsung kçnnen mittels DLS erhalten werden. [18] Die DLS-Experimente bestätigten die Resultate der DOSY-NMR-und ESI-MS-Untersuchungen unserer beiden Komplexe und lieferten so weitere unabhängige Beweise für die Grçße und damit auch die Zusammensetzung der Aggregate (siehe Hintergrundinformationen). Dies gilt umso mehr auch deswegen, weil wir die Anwendbarkeit dieser Methoden anhand der erfolgreichen Charakterisierung eines bekannten [M 12 L 24 ]-Aggregats von Fujita et al als weitere Referenz demonstrieren konnten.…”

“…Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is used to determine particles’ size [ 47 , 48 ]. Therefore, the next stage of investigation was the study of pillar[5]arenes’ 12 – 15 ability to form supramolecular assemblies in the presence of guest molecules G1 - G4 in both water and DMSO.…”
