Abstract

We have developed a ‘building block’ approach to electrostatically-mediated construction of modular self-assembled colloid-colloid ensembles. Our strategy involves functionalization of one type of colloidal building block with a primary amine, and a counterpart building block with a carboxylic acid derivative (Scheme 1). By combining the two systems, acid-base chemistry followed by immediate charge-pairing resulted in the spontaneous formation of electrostatically-bound mixed-colloid constructs. The shape and size of these ensembles was controlled via variation of particle size for the two components and their stoichiometries.
