Nanoribbons Self-Assembled from Triblock Peptide Polymers and Coordination Polymers

Concerted effects: Triblock peptide copolymers, organic multidentate ligands, and Zn2+ ions associate spontaneously into well‐defined nanoribbons when dissolved at proper ratios in water at moderate pH values. These nanofibers are stabilized by an extraordinary concerted effect of distinct noncovale...

Summary:Concerted effects: Triblock peptide copolymers, organic multidentate ligands, and Zn2+ ions associate spontaneously into well‐defined nanoribbons when dissolved at proper ratios in water at moderate pH values. These nanofibers are stabilized by an extraordinary concerted effect of distinct noncovalent interactions: metal–ligand complexation, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and polyelectrolyte complexation between coordination polymers and the charged blocks of the peptide copolymers.
