Polymer‐Induced Alignment of dl‐Alanine Nanocrystals to Crystalline Mesostructures

Wohlrab, Sebastian, Pinna, Nicola, Antonietti, Markus, Cölfen, Helmut·2005·Chemistry – A European Journal

Abstract

Crystallization of dl‐alanine by cooling of a supersaturated solution in the presence of a chiral double‐hydrophilic block copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐poly(ethylene imine)‐S‐isobutyric acid (PEG 4700‐PEI 1200‐S‐i BAc) yields crystal superstructures with an astonishing morphology. Although analysis by light microscopy reveals these crystals to be apparently well facetted, electron microscopy shows that they consist of three‐dimensionally, well‐aligned nanocrystals that are scaffolded to a so‐called mesocrystal. This mesocrystal is formed by polymer‐mediated structuration, and provides evidence for the importance of mesoscopic events in a typical crystallization process.

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.
