Self-assembly of gold nanoparticles through tandem hydrogen bonding and polyoligosilsequioxane (POSS)–POSS recognition processes

Joseph B. Carroll, Benjamin L. Frankamp and Vincent M. Rotello

Diaminopyridine-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxanes (POSS-DAP) self-assemble with complementary thymine-functionalized Au nanoparticles (Thy-Au) into well-defined spherical aggregates, providing highly structured nanocomposites.
