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.

A new nanostructure, 1D In2O3nanorod, have been grown on single silicon substrates by Au catalyst assisted thermal evaporation of In2O3and active carbon powders. 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 field-emission properities of In2O3nanorods have been measured and analysed. The growth mechanism of the In2O3nanorods can be explained on the basis of the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) processes.

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 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.

In this paper, the crystallization behavior of calcium carbonate between the organic-water interfaces using a slow gas-diffusion procedure is studied. The organic-water interfaces can control the crystallization of calcium carbonate to form a flower-shaped superstructure. The precipitates of calcium carbonate were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A possible mechanism about the self-assembly process of CaCO3 crystals has been analyzed. It is found that the morphology of CaCO3 superstructure depends on the properties of organic solvent. This paper also presents the influence of surfactant monolayer, between the biphase interfaces, on the CaCO3 superstructure. This study suggests that it is possible to control morphogenesis of calcium carbonate by a combination of a surfactant monolayer with the organic-water interfaces.

A new nanostructure, (2D) nanopetal of SnO2, has been grown on single silicon substrates by Au-Ag alloying catalyst assisted carbothermal evaporation of SnO2. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman are employed to identify the morphology and structure of the synthesized productions. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) is used to characterize the luminescence of SnO2 nanostructure. Three new peaks at 356, 450 and 489 nm in the measured photoluminescence spectra are observed, implying that more luminescence centers exist in SnO2 nanopetals due to nanocrystals and defects. The growth of the SnO2 nanopetals is discussed on the basis of the self-catalyst mechanism.

Formation of layered nanosheets and micro-spheres from a simple self-assembly and polycondensation of n-octadecylsilane (PODS) in water and toluene is demonstrated, respectively. The structure of the micro-spheres was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). According to the TEM images, it was firstly confirmed that the micro-spheres consist of stacks of bilayered polymerized n-octadecylsilane with head-to-head arrangements. The co-effects of water and solvent were proposed to control the octadecyltrichlsilane hydrolysis process and eventually the morphology of the micro-spheres. A micelle formation mechanism for the formation of the PODS micro-spheres under the co-effects of water and solvent were firstly proposed.

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.
