title: Self-assembly of gold nanoparticles through tandem hydrogen bonding and polyoligosilsequioxane (POSS)-POSS recognition processes.
abstract: Diaminopyridine-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxanes (POSS-DAP) self-assemble with complementary thymine-functionalized Au nanoparticles (Thy-Au) into well-defined spherical aggregates, providing highly structured nanocomposites.
