This paper reports the self-assembly of two new tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives that contain one or two urethane groups. The formation of nanoribbons was evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), which showed that the self-assembly ability of T 1 was better than that of T 2 . The results revealed that more urethane groups in a molecule did not necessarily instigate self-assembly. UV–vis and FTIR spectra were measured to explore noncovalent interactions. The driving forces for self-assembly of TTF derivatives were mainly hydrogen bond interactions and π–π stacking interactions. The electronic conductivity of the T 1 and T 2 films was tested by a four-probe method.

In order to determine the influence of halogen substituent on the self-assembly of the 6,9-diamino-2-ethoxyacridinium cations and 3-halobenzoate anions in the crystals formed from ethacridine and halobenzoic acids, the series of ethacridinium meta-halobenzoates dihydrates: ethacridinium 3-chlorobenzoate dihydrate (1), ethacridinium 3-bromobenzoate dihydrate (2), and ethacridinium 3-iodobenzoate dihydrate (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the title compounds crystallized in the monoclinic P21/c space group and are isostructural. In the crystals of title compounds, the ions and water molecules interact via N–H⋯O, O–H⋯O and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions to produce blocks. The relationship between the distance X⋯O between the halogen atom (X=Cl, Br, I) of meta-halobenzoate anion and the O-atom from the ethoxy group of cation from neighbouring blocks and crystal packing is observed in the crystals of the title compounds.

The evolution of designed [(Ti-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y, [(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y, [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y and [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Ti-Te)]y[(Sb-Te)]z precursors were followed as a function of annealing temperature and time using both low and high angle x-ray diffraction techniques to probe the self assembly into nanolaminate materials. The [(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y precursors were found to interdiffuse at low temperatures to form a (BixSb1-x)2Te3 alloy. The [(Ti-Te)]x[(Bi-Te)]y and [(Ti-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y precursors formed ordered nanolaminates [{(TiTe2)}1.35]x[Bi2Te3]y and [{(TiTe2)}1.35]x[Sb2Te3]y respectively. The [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]x precursors formed [{(TiTe2)}1.35]w[(Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3]2x nanolaminates on annealing, as the bismuth and antimony layers interdiffused. Over the range of TiTe2 thicknesses used in [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Ti-Te)]y[(Sb-Te)]z precursors, Bi and Sb were found to interdiffuse through the 2-4 nm thick Ti-Te layers, resulting in the formation of (BixSb1-x)2Te3 alloy layers as part of the final nanolaminated products. When the Bi-Te and Sb-Te thicknesses were equal in the amorphous precursors, symmetric [{(TiTe2)}1.35]m[(Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3]n nanolamiantes were formed. When the thicknesses of Bi-Te and Sb-Te layers were not equal in the amorphous precursor, asymmetric [(TiTe2)1.35]m[(BixSb1-x)2Te3]n[(TiTe2)1.35]m[(BixSb1-x)2Te3]p nanolaminates were formed. These results imply that to form (A)w(B)x(C)y nanolaminates using designed layered precursors all three components must be immiscible. To form (A)x(B)y(A)x(C)z nanolaminates, the components must be immiscible or the precursor to the A component and the A component itself must be an effective interdiffusion barrier preventing B and C from mixing.

Using a hydrothermal synthesis, the self-assembly of MnII ions and 1,4-bis(1-imidazol-yl)-2,5-dimethyl benzene with two dicarboxylate ligands, 2-nitrobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (2-H2ata) and 5-methylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (5-CH3-H2ip) constructed two interesting coordination polymers: [Mn(2-ata)(bimb)]n (1) and {[Mn(5-CH3-ip)(bimb)1.5]·2H2O}n (2), where bimb refers to 1,4-bis(1-imidazol-yl)-2,5-dimethyl benzene. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. Complex 1 exhibits a 2-fold interpenetrated pcu net. Complex 2 shows an unusual polycatenated 2D+2D→3D framework. In addition, the solid-state photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were investigated at room temperature.

The new bistetrazole 13 has been obtained by subsequent formation of the two heterocyclic units. In methanolic solution 13 reacts with zinc(II) acetate to yield the pseudo-meso-1 D-coordination polymer [ZnL2(MeOH)]n (n = ∞) 14. The structure of 14 was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The generation of the polymeric chain 14 is understandable, if intermediate formation of coordinatively unsaturated zinc(II) buildingblocks (Δ)-15 and (Λ)-15 is assumed. Alternating linkage of the self-complementary chiral monomers 15, across one cyanofunction each, leads to 14 with zinc being essentially octahedrally coordinated. Compared with polymeric compounds of similar bridging ligands, the Zn ··· N≡C-distance in 14 (225,7 pm) is short.

The ability of trans- and cis-1,2-glucopyranosyl and cyclohexyl ditriazoles, synthesized by CuAAC "click" chemistry, to form gels was studied, their physical properties determined, and the self-aggregation behavior investigated by SEM, X-ray, and EDC studies. The results revealed that self-assembly was driven mainly by π–π stacking interactions, in addition to hydrogen bonding, with the aromatic rings adopting a high degree of parallelism, as seen in crystal packings and ECD data. Furthermore, π–bromine interactions between the bromine atom of the aryl substituents and the triazole units might also contribute to an overall stabilization of the supramolecular aggregation of bis(4-bromophenyl)triazoles. The trans or cis spatial disposition of the triazole rings is highly important for gelation, with the cis configuration having higher propensity.

In2O3nanotowers have been fabricated on Au item-shaped parallel electrodes using thermal evaporation of the mixed powders of In2O3and graphite with Au catalysts. The morphology and structure of the prepared nanorods are determined on the basis of field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The self-assembly grown sensors of In2O3nanotowers have excellent performance in sensor response to hydrogen concentration of 1000 ppm under operated temperature of 300°C.

Noncovalent interactions, such as π–π stacking interactions, C—H...π interactions and hydrogen bonding, are important driving forces for self-assembly in the construction of functional supermolecules and materials, especially in multicomponent supramolecular systems. Herein, a novel compound based on a π-acidic naphthalene diimide derivative and a double hydroxide-bridged dinuclear Al3+ aqua ion cluster, namely bis[N,N′-bis(2-sulfonatoethyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide] di-μ-hydroxido-bis[tetraaquaaluminium(III)] tetrahydrate, (C18H12N2O10S2)2[Al2(OH)2(H2O)8]·4H2O, was obtained using the above-mentioned common noncovalent interactions, as well as uncommon lone-pair–π interactions. Functional molecular modules were connected by these noncovalent interactions to generate obvious photochromic properties. The compound was prepared by the self-assembly of N,N′-bis(2-sulfoethyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide and Al(NO3)3·9H2O under mixed solvothermal conditions, and was characterized in detail by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction and FT–IR spectroscopy. The thermal stability and photochromic properties were also investigated; furthermore, in-situ solid-state UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) were used to clarify the photochromic mechanism.

The unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic ligand 1-[(benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-1,3-imidazole (bmi) has three potential N-atom donors and can act in monodentate or bridging coordination modes in the construction of complexes. In addition, the bmi ligand can adopt different coordination conformations, resulting in complexes with different structures due to the presence of the flexible methylene spacer. Two new complexes, namely bis{1-[(benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-1,3-imidazole-κN3}dibromidomercury(II), [HgBr2(C10H9N5)2], and bis{1-[(benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-1,3-imidazole-κN3}diiodidomercury(II), [HgI2(C10H9N5)2], have been synthesized through the self-assembly of bmi with HgBr2or HgI2. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that both complexes are mononuclear structures, in which the bmi ligands coordinate to the HgIIions in monodentate modes. In the solid state, both complexes display three-dimensional networks formed by a combination of hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. The IR spectra and PXRD patterns of both complexes have also been recorded.

Two new gold(III) complexes with adenine or guanine nitrogenous bases as counter-cations were synthesized. These are 6-amino-7H-purine-1,9-diium tetrachloridogold(III) chloride monohydrate, (C5H7N5)[AuCl4]Cl·H2O, 1, and 2-amino-6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-purin-9-ium tetrachloridogold(III) hemihydrate, (C5H6N5O)[AuCl4]·0.5H2O, 2. Their crystal structures were studied using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT–IR spectroscopic techniques. The arrangement of species in the studied crystal structures implies π-stacking interactions, as well as concomitant C—H...π interactions, hydrogen bonds and other types of noncovalent interactions, which were studied qualitatively and quantitatively using the method of molecular Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra. The variation of the nitrogenous base from adenine to guanine results in evident differences in the packing of the species in the crystals of 1 and 2. The splitting and shifting of bands in the FT–IR spectra of the title compounds reveals several features representative of noncovalent interactions in their crystal structures.
