Professor Paolo Samorì, partner in the ONE-P project, published with colleagues a VIP (Very Important Paper) in Angewandte Chemie
ONE-P researchers showed for the first time a dynamer operating at the solid-liquid interface, a first step towards the generation of nanopatterned responsive architectures.
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy imaging made it possible to visualize on the sub-molecular scale the metal templated reversible assembly/re-assembly process of a N9-alkylguanine into highly ordered quartets and ribbons based architectures at the graphite-solution interface, as triggered by a change in pH. The in-situ reversible assembly and re-assembly between two highly ordered supramolecular structures at the surfaces represents the first step towards the generation of nanopatterned responsive architectures.
