Mesocrystals: Inorganic Superstructures Made by Highly Parallel Crystallization and Controlled Alignment

Open access
Cölfen, Helmut, Antonietti, Markus·2005·Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Abstract

Controlled self‐organization of nanoparticles can lead to new materials. The colloidal crystallization of non‐spherical nanocrystals is a reaction channel in many crystallization reactions. With additives, self‐organization can be stopped at an intermediary step—a mesocrystal—in which the primary units can still be identified. Mesocrystals were observed for various systems as kinetically metastable species or as intermediates in a crystallization reaction leading to single crystals with typical defects and inclusions. The control forces and mechanism of mesocrystal formation are largely unknown, but several mesocrystal properties are known. Mesocrystals are exiting examples of nonclassical crystallization, which does not proceed through ion‐by‐ion attachment, but by a modular nanobuilding‐block route. This path makes crystallization more independent of ion products or molecular solubility, it occurs without pH or osmotic pressure changes, and opens new strategies for crystal morphogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
