The self-assembly of lanthanide ions with ditopic organic spacers results in the formation of complex tiling patterns that mimic the structural motifs of quasi-periodic 2D materials. The linking of -{LnI} nodes (Ln = Gd, Dy) by both closed-shell and anion radicals of 4,4'-bipyridine affords rare examples of Archimedean tessellations in a metal-organic framework. We furthermore demonstrate the occurrence of sizable magnetic exchange interactions and slow relaxation of magnetization behavior in a complex tessellation pattern. The implementation of Archimedean tessellations in lanthanide(III) coordination solids couriers a strategy to design elusive quasi-periodic metal-organic frameworks with inimitable magnetic properties.

2D Archimedean tiling and complex tessellation patterns assembled from soft materials including modular DNA tiles have attracted great interest because of their specific structures and potential applications in nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, biomedical sensing, drug delivery, therapeutics, etc. Traditional three- and four-point-star DNA tiles with the core arm length at two half-turns (specified as three- and four-point-star-E previously and abbreviated as 3PSE and 4PSE tiles here) have been applied to assemble intricate tessellations through tuning the size of inserted T ( = 1-7, T is thymine) loops on helper strands at the tile center. Following our recent findings using a new type of four-point-star tiles with the core arm length at three half-turns (specified as four-point-star-O previously and abbreviated as 4PSO tiles here) to assemble DNA tubes and flat 2D arrays, we report here the cross-hybridization weaving architectures at the tile center to construct three new 3PSO tiles with circular DNA oligonucleotides of 96-nt (nucleotides) serving as the scaffolds, further the monotonous and combinatory E- and O-tilings on one type of 3PSO tiles to create 2D Archimedean tiling patterns (6.

Molecular tessellation research aims to elucidate the underlying principles that govern intricate patterns in nature and to leverage these principles to create precise and ordered structures across multiple scales, thereby facilitating the emergence of novel functionalities. DNA origami nanostructures are excellent building blocks for constructing tessellation patterns. However, the size and complexity of DNA origami tessellation systems are currently limited by several unexplored factors relevant to the accuracy of essential design parameters, the applicability of design strategies, and the compatibility between different tiles.

Self-assembly of -{EuI} nodes and ditopic ligands leads to isoreticular 2D frameworks featuring a rare, non-kagome Archimedean tessellation. The topology and intra-layer Eu(II)-Eu(II) antiferromagnetic interactions provide the prerequisites for geometrical spin frustration, which, due to the spin state degeneracy, is key for novel phenomena such as enhanced magnetic refrigeration.

Tailoring Shockley surface-state (SS) electrons utilizing complex interfacial supramolecular tessellations was explored by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy, combined with computational modelling using electron plane wave expansion (EPWE) and empirical tight-binding (TB) methods. Employing a recently introduced gas-mediated on-surface reaction protocol, three distinct types of open porous networks comprising paired organometallic species as basic tectons were selectively synthesized. In particular, these supramolecular networks feature semiregular Archimedean tilings, providing intricate quantum dots (QDs) coupling scenarios compared to hexagonal porous superlattices.

A large number of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with two-dimensional (2D) layered structures have been reported, but their network structures are restricted to only seven topologies (namely, , , , , , , and ) because of the limited choice of building blocks. In this work, we illustrate how linking pseudo-fivefold symmetric 1,2,3,4,5-penta(4-formylphenyl)pyrrole with linear aromatic diamines through dynamic imine bonds produces three 2D porous COFs with an unprecedented topology, which represent the first examples of five-vertex semiregular Archimedean tessellations in COFs. The three 2D COFs are isostructural, and each adopts an eclipsed stacking structure with unidirectional hierarchical pores, in which the pyrrole unit is utilized as the five-vertex of network to form both square and triangular pores in a 3.
