Nano Molecular‐Platform: A Protocol to Write Energy Transmission Program Inside a Molecule for Bio‐Inspired Supramolecular Engineering

In a coded self-assembly, a simple code is written in the molecule, which self-assembles the molecules into a fractal like structure, which acts as a seed for the next step. As the molecule turns into a complex seed, the code transforms into another form and several seeds self-assemble into another structure, which acts as a seed for the next step. Until now, this technology was considered as a prerogative of nature. Here, a dendritic network is used to write a basic code by synthetically attaching 32 molecular rotors and doping two controller molecules in its cavity. The code live, which is an energy transmission path in the molecule, is imaged. When the energy transmission path or code is triggered, a series of products generate one after another spontaneously. Two examples are: i) dendritic seed (5–6 nm)paired nanowire (≈12 nm)nanowire (≈200 nm)microwire (500 nm)wire like rod (1–2 μm)jellyrectangular sheet (5 μm). ii) dendritic seednano-sphere (20 nm)micro-sphere (500 nm)large balls(1 μm)oval shape rod (5–10 μm)Y, L or T shaped rod assembly. The energy level interactions are tracked using spectroscopy how exactly a directed energy transfer code generates multi-step synthesis from nano to the visible scale.
