Abstract
Nanostructure organization of cadmium sulfide quantum dots on structurally persistent dendro-callxarene micelles is demonstrated. Amphiphilic dendro-callxarene was dissolved in water at pH 4.5 to produce stable suspensions of self-assembled micelles over a range of concentrations, while Zeta-potential measurements provided a value of -25mV, indicating that the micelles were highly negatively charged. Incubation of the wormlike micelles in 0.05 nm aqueous Cd solution at a carboxylate headgroup:Cd molar ratio of 20:1, followed by stochiometric addition of aqueous NaS, produced clear solutions that were stable with respect to bulk precipitation. The results show that the supramolecular organization of the organic micelles with rigid molecular architecture can lead to persistent nontrivial packing arrangements that manifest in nanoscale objects that can be used to control the deposition of inorganic nanoparticles.
