Porous, structurally well-defined anionic nanocapsules with varying charge density: interactions with their environment and with each other

德国和美国的PI计划建立密切的合作，以探索新的，结构明确的，多孔阴离子氧化物基纳米胶囊（具有不同的电荷密度和表面）在溶液中与环境和它们之间的相互作用。这一新领域是无机化学和溶液物理化学的交叉点，对其他领域产生了广泛的影响。只有通过两个团队的合作才能成功。PI计划开发合理的合成方法来修改巨型球形氧化镨基纳米胶囊，以便其一些重要的特性，如电荷密度和内部/外部功能，可以准确地调整计划的解决方案/组装实验。更重要的是，纳米胶囊的修饰导致其电荷密度的变化，这将影响与阳离子的相互作用，特别是纳米胶囊之间的相互作用的性质。我们计划使用这些系统，包括那些新合成的系统来进行“最佳”实验，以了解更多关于纳米胶囊之间强吸引力的性质，以及相关的独特自组装过程。

The German and US PIs plan to set up intense collaborations to explore novel, structurally welldefined, porous anionic molybdenum-oxide based nanocapsules (with varying charge densities and surfaces) regarding interactions in solution with their environment and among themselves. This new area is at the cross-section of inorganic chemistry and solution physical chemistry with broad impacts on other fields. It can only be successfully accomplished with the collaboration between the two groups. The PIs plan to develop rational synthetic methods to modify giant spherical molybdenum-oxide based nanocapsules so that some of their important properties, such as charge densities and internal/external functionalities, can be accurately adjusted for the planned solution/assembly experiments. Importantly, the modifications of the nanocapsules lead to changes of their charge densities, which will affect the interaction with cations and especially the nature of interactions among the nanocapsules. We plan to use these systems including those which are newly synthesized to perform “optimal” experiments to understand more about the nature of the strong attractive forces between the nanocapsules in context with the related unique self-assembly processes.
