We propose a two-step ligand exchange for the selective end-functionalization of gold nanorods (AuNR) by thiolated cyclodextrin (CD) host molecules. As a result of the complete removal of the precursor capping agent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by a tetraethylene glycol derivative, competitive binding to the host cavity was prevented, and reversible, light-responsive assembly and disassembly of the AuNR could be induced by host–guest interaction of CD on the nanorods and a photoswitchable arylazopyrazole cross-linker in aqueous solution. The end-to-end assembly of AuNR could be effectively controlled by irradiation with UV and visible light, respectively, over four cycles. By the introduction of AAP, previous disassembly limitations based on the photostationary states of azobenzenes could be solved. The combination photoresponsive interaction and selectively end-functionalized nanoparticles shows significant potential in the reversible self-assembly of inorganic–organic hybrid nanomaterials.

Gold nanorod ribbon-like arrays as well as shape-separation effect of rods from sphere-like nanoparticles have been evaluated for identical nanorod suspension with various concentration of nanospheres. These sphere-rod mixtures are prepared with help of different amounts of AgNO3. Deposits of nanoparticles at various positions of the coffee-stain ring are observed in different arrangements. For instance, face-to-face aligned nanorods get settled in ribbon-like superstructures and these arrays are observed to be self-separated from spheres. Self-assembly and shape-separation effect are observed more systematic at the outer-edges than the inner-region of the coffee-stain ring. Experimentally, it has been observed that face-to-face formation of nanorods in suspension is energetically more probable arrangement. As the separation between two nanorods increases, the depth of potential well decreases, indicating that the upper layers of nanorods are more under the influence of lower placed nanorods than those placed in the same plane. Energetically and sterically, more feasible arrangements are observed.
