The formation of mixed shell-by-shell (SbS) systems with tunable shell compositions is demonstrated by using molecular self-assembly driven by chemical recognition motifs. Aluminum oxide nanoparticles (AlOx-NPs) act as template surface for a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of either partially fluorinated fluoroalkyl or alkyl chained phosphonic acid derivatives or defined stoichiometric mixtures of those. By providing an equimolar mixture of corresponding fluoroalkyl and alkyl-chained amphiphiles in water, the stoichiometry of underlaying mixed SAM on the NP-surface preferentially directs the composition of the secondary self-assembly. The composition of the shell-by-shell assemblies is studied by high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence spectroscopy. The concept allows the formation of NP-templated vesicle-like bilayer structures, even consisting of orthogonal chain structures in tunable composition driven by chemical recognition and hydrophobic segregation.
