Light-controlled micron-scale molecular motion (2021)
Journal Article
Samperi, M., Bdiri, B., Sleet, C. D., Markus, R., Mallia, A. R., Pérez-García, L., & Amabilino, D. B. (2021). Light-controlled micron-scale molecular motion. Nature Chemistry, 13(12), 1200-1206. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-021-00791-2

The micron-scale movement of biomolecules along supramolecular pathways, mastered by nature, is a remarkable system requiring strong yet reversible interactions between components under the action of a suitable stimulus. Responsive microscopic system... Read More about Light-controlled micron-scale molecular motion.

An imidazolium-based supramolecular gelator enhancing interlayer adhesion in 3D printed dual network hydrogels (2021)
Journal Article
Zhou, Z., Samperi, M., Santu, L., Dizon, G., Aboarkaba, S., Limón, D., …Wildman, R. (2021). An imidazolium-based supramolecular gelator enhancing interlayer adhesion in 3D printed dual network hydrogels. Materials and Design, 206, Article 109792. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2021.109792

The variety of UV-curable monomers for 3D printing is limited by a requirement for rapid curing after each sweep depositing a layer. This study proposes to trigger supramolecular self-assembly during the process by a gemini imidazolium-based low-mole...

Controlling the preferential motion of chiral molecular walkers on a surface (2019)
Journal Article
Abbasi-Pérez, D., Sang, H., Pérez-García, L., Floris, A., Amabilino, D. B., Raval, R., …Kantorovich, L. (2019). Controlling the preferential motion of chiral molecular walkers on a surface. Chemical Science, 10(23), 5864-5874. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9sc01135h

Molecular walkers standing on two or more “feet” on an anisotropic periodic potential of a crystal surface may perform a one-dimensional Brownian motion at the surface-vacuum interface along a particular direction in which their mobility is the large...
