AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully created ultra-thin triangular gold-thiolate single-layer assemblies (SLAs) that are less than 2 nm thick, overcoming challenges in supramolecular science.
- These SLAs exhibited remarkable stability against temperature, solvents, and mechanical stress, thanks to a double-ligand co-assembly technique.
- The unique molecular structure allows these assemblies to deform elastically and anisotropically when exposed to external forces, opening up new possibilities for applications in bio-inspired nanomechanics.
Article Abstract
Synthesis of highly stable two-dimensional single-layer assemblies (SLAs) is a key challenge in supramolecular science, especially those with long-range molecular order and well-defined morphology. Here, thin (thickness <2 nm) triangular Au -thiolate SLAs with high thermo-, solvato- and mechano- stability have been synthesized via a double-ligand co-assembly strategy. Furthermore, the SLAs show assembly-level elastic and anisotropic deformation responses to external stimuli as a result of the long-range anisotropic molecular packing, which provides SLAs with new application potentials in bio-mimic nanomechanics.
