A research group headed by Prof. Yu Shuyan with State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics & Chemistry of the CAS Institute of Chemistry has made progress in self-assembly nanostructure.


    A research group headed by Prof. Yu Shuyan with State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics & Chemistry of the CAS Institute of Chemistry has made progress in self-assembly nanostructure. Their findings on modular cavity-tunable self-assembly of molecular bowls and crowns as structural analogues of calix[3]arenas were reported in the February 10 issue of German journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.

    The scientists have successfully made a series of size-alterable functional nanometer crowns and discovered that those self-assembling systems have an impact on the anion property selection when exposed to aqueous medium. Their work shed light on future application of such technologies as anion nanometer sensors, simulated enzyme, and the green chemistry.
