两亲性杯芳烃的超分子自组装

Supramolecular Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Calixarenes

本文综述了两亲性杯芳烃分子在不同维数下组装研究的进展,主要包括零维组装(囊泡、胶束、树枝状分子和分子箱)、一维组装(纳米管,纳米线及纤维)和二维组装(LB膜、超薄分离膜及界面组装);探讨了不同维数下组装体的形成机理和驱动力,主要包括氢键作用、金属配位作用、静电作用、包结络合作用以及疏水相互作用;控制和调节不同维数下组装体的转变,有助于组装体材料在许多方面的应用。

Recent progress in self-assembly of calixarene derivatives in different dimensions has been reviewed. It mainly includes zero dimension assembly leading to capsules, micelles, dendrimers and molecular boxes, one dimension assembly to nanofibers, nanotubes and two dimension assembly to ultra-thin membranes and assemblies on interfaces, etc. The mechanisms and driving forces, which include hydrogen bonding, metal–ligand, electrostatic, host-guest and hydrophobic interactions, for the assembly and the transitions between assemblies with different dimensions have been discussed. The transitions can be controlled in order to meet the requirements in varies applications of the assembled materials.
