This article reports a universal approach for synthesizing metallic open-channel superlattices with pores of different sizes using DNA-modified hollow colloidal nanoparticles. By adjusting the design of nanoparticles and DNA, the geometry of the pores and the topology of the channels can be controlled. This method allows for the customization of crystal properties and performance.
Although tremendous advances have been made in preparing porous crystals from molecular precursors(1,2), there are no general ways of designing and making topologically diversified porous colloidal crystals over the 10-1,000 nm length scale. Control over porosity in this size range would enable the tailoring of molecular absorption and storage, separation, chemical sensing, catalytic and optical properties of such materials. Here, a universal approach for synthesizing metallic open-channel superlattices with pores of 10 to 1,000 nm from DNA-modified hollow colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) is reported. By tuning hollow NP geometry and DNA design, one can adjust crystal pore geometry (pore size and shape) and channel topology (the way in which pores are interconnected). The assembly of hollow NPs is driven by edge-to-edge rather than face-to-face DNA-DNA interactions. Two new design rules describing this assembly regime emerge from these studies and are then used to synthesize 12 open-channel superlattices with control over crystal symmetry, channel geometry and topology. The open channels can be selectively occupied by guests of the appropriate size and that are modified with complementary DNA (for example, Au NPs).
