3D ordered gold strings by coating nanoparticles with mesogens (2009)
Journal Article
Zeng, X., Liu, F., Fowler, A. G., Ungar, G., Cseh, L., Mehl, G. H., & Macdonald, J. E. (2009). 3D ordered gold strings by coating nanoparticles with mesogens. Advanced materials, 21(17), 1746-1750. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.200803403

Gold nanoparticles covered with a nematic liquid-crystal ligand laterally attached via a thioalkyl spacer and a thioalkane "diluent" exhibit 3D ordering in strings jacketed by the mesogens with controllable interparticle spacing. The particles form r... Read More about 3D ordered gold strings by coating nanoparticles with mesogens.

A "Kite" Shaped Styryl End-Capped Benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b ']dithiophene with High Electrical Performances in Organic Thin Film Transistors (2008)
Journal Article
Didane, Y., Mehl, G. H., Kumagai, A., Yoshimoto, N., Videlot-Ackermann, C., & Brisset, H. (2008). A "Kite" Shaped Styryl End-Capped Benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b ']dithiophene with High Electrical Performances in Organic Thin Film Transistors. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 130(52), 17681-17683. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja807504k

The bridging of distyryl-bithiophene leads to a kite shape of the conjugated system. This twist is not like twistacenes or twist deformation in α-oligothiophenes but a curvature such as in bowl shaped systems. Initially perceived to be undesirable, t...
