Structure of a liquid crystalline metallosupramolecular polyelectrolyte-amphiphile complex at the nanoscopic level
Abstract
The solid-state organization of a liquid crystalline metallosupramolecular polyelectrolyte-amphiphile complex at the nanoscopic level is decoded by a combination of X-ray scattering and molecular modeling. The nanostructured material, which self-assembles from transition metal ions, ditopic ligands, and amphiphiles, has a hierarchical architecture consisting of alternating strata of metallo units and interdigitated amphiphiles.
