The controlled engineering of functional architectures composed of π-systems with unusual opto-electronic properties is currently being investigated intensively from both fundamental research and technological application viewpoints. In particular, the exploitation of the supramolecular approach for the facile construction of multidimensional architectures, featuring cavities capable of hosting functional molecules, could be used in several applications, such as nanomedicine, molecular-based memory storage devices, and sensors. This paper highlights our recent strategies to use hydrogen-bonding interactions to prepare nanostructured functional architectures via the self-assembly of organic molecular modules studied at different interfaces.

In the title compound, [HgCl2(C16H28N2Se)], the primary geometry around the Se and Hg atoms is distorted trigonal–pyramidal and distorted square-pyramidal, respectively. The distortion of the molecular geometry in the complex is caused by the steric demands of the ligands attached to the Se atom. The Hg atom is coordinated through two chloride anions, an N atom and an Se atom, making up an unusual HgNSeCl2 coordination sphere with an additional long Hg...N interaction. Intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions are the only identified intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions that seem to be responsible for the self assembly. These relatively weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds possess the required linearity and donor–acceptor distances. They act as molecular associative forces that result in a supramolecular assembly along the b-axis direction in the solid state of the title compound.

Nanocomposite Structures

The cooperative self-assembly of nanoparticles and amphiphilic block copolymers has attracted increasing interests as it offers effective routes to achieve nanocomposite supramolecular structures with desired structure and properties. The incorporation of nanoparticles usually tunes the self-assembly structure of block copolymers, as the copolymer–nanoparticle interactions may change the relative volume ratio of hydrophobic block/hydrophilic block copolymers. It should be noted that the micro-size length and the strong nonpolar feature of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may cause the block copolymer–CNT interactions to differ from the the block copolymer–nanoparticle interactions. Herein, we show that the diameter of CNTs and the copolymer/CNT ratio have a profound effect on the self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic block copolymers. Upon the addition of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (c-MWCNTs, diameter <8 nm,) to the methoxy polyethylene glycol-poly (D,L-lactic acid) (MPEG-PDLLA) solution, it is difficult to observe the c-MWCNTs directly in TEM images. However, it has been found that they form supramolecular nanocomposite structures with MPEG-PDLLA. Moreover, these supramolecular structures transform from core–shell spherical micelles into rod-like micelles and then into large composite aggregates with the increase of the c-MWCNT addition. However, in the case of the addition of c-MWCNTs with a diameter of 30–50 nm, the dispersed c-MWCNTs and spherical core–shell micelles could be observed simultaneously in the TEM images at a low c-MWCNT addition, and then the micelle structure disappeared and only well-dispersed c-MWNTs were observed in TEM images at a high c-MWCNT addition. A possible model was proposed to explain the rule of CNTs participating in the formation of copolymer/CNT nanocomposite structures. It was also shown that as-prepared copolymer/CNT supramolecular nanocomposites could be used as drug carriers, enabling the adjustment of the drug loading and release time.
