Abstract

Equation presented Self-recognition in the coordination-driven self-assembly of three-dimensional (3-D) polyhedra is described. Multiple discrete 3-D polyhedra were formed in one vessel through the self-recognition of a mixture of subunits. The dynamic self-recognition process is determined by the information stored within the geometry and directionality of multiple rigid building blocks as well as the thermodynamic stability of the discrete products.
