Abstract

AbstractThe ability to assemble nanoscopic components into larger structures and materials depends crucially on the ability to understand in quantitative detail and subsequently “engineer” the interparticle interactions. This Review provides a critical examination of the various interparticle forces (van der Waals, electrostatic, magnetic, molecular, and entropic) that can be used in nanoscale self‐assembly. For each type of interaction, the magnitude and the length scale are discussed, as well as the scaling with particle size and interparticle distance. In all cases, the discussion emphasizes characteristics unique to the nanoscale. These theoretical considerations are accompanied by examples of recent experimental systems, in which specific interaction types were used to drive nanoscopic self‐assembly. Overall, this Review aims to provide a comprehensive yet easily accessible resource of nanoscale‐specific interparticle forces that can be implemented in models or simulations of self‐assembly processes at this scale.magnified image

  92. Estimating Hamaker coefficients through the Hamaker integral approximation that is asA=CvdWπ2/ν1ν2 is often as impractical as it is inaccurate (neglecting many‐body effects) because it requires knowledge of the parameterCvdWcharacterizing pairwise interactions between atoms/molecules in the gas phase: consider the case of gold described in the text.

  100. The failure of the Hamaker integral approximation at large separations originates from the use of Hamaker coefficients derived from the continuum DLP theory for flat plates. These coefficients incorporate many‐body effects which are absent at large separations (cf. Reference [89]).

  219. Hydrogen bonds can have significant covalent character when the difference inpKavalues of the two electronegative atoms are very similar resulting in very strong bonds such as those of O–H–O N–H–N F–H–F and other homonuclear bonds. For dissimilarpKavalues the bond is either a moderately strong hydrogen bond X–H···Y or and ionic one X−···H–Y+ both of which are predominately electrostatic. See Reference [220] and references therein.
