Ordered Gold Nanoarrays: 3D Ordered Gold Strings by Coating Nanoparticles with Mesogens (Adv. Mater. 17/2009)

Liquid‐crystal‐coated gold nanoparticles exhibit 3D long‐range ordering in strings jacketed by rod‐like mesogens (shown in green) with controllable interparticle spacing. The work reported on p. 1746 by Goran Ungar and co‐workers demonstrates a new method of assembling ordered metal nanoparticle sup...

Summary:Liquid‐crystal‐coated gold nanoparticles exhibit 3D long‐range ordering in strings jacketed by rod‐like mesogens (shown in green) with controllable interparticle spacing. The work reported on p. 1746 by Goran Ungar and co‐workers demonstrates a new method of assembling ordered metal nanoparticle superlattices, in a step towards developing self‐assembled metamaterials. The cover shows red, yellow, and blue nanoparticles lying at different heights and forming a rhombohedral lattice.
