Formation of a large-scale ordered honeycomb pattern by an organogelator via a self-assembly process

摘要

We have developed a facile strategy to fabricate a large-scale, orderly-patterned honeycomb structure by using supramolecular self-assembly of a low mass organic molecule. Large-scale pattern-arranged organic nano-structured materials have received much attention in recent years because of their orderly micro-morphology, controllable size and function, and good biocompatibility. These materials are expected to be applied in the areas of micro-nano electronic devices, photonic crystals, catalysis, cell biology research, synthesis of new kinds of inorganic nano-materials and so on.
