This paper describes a rational strategy to obtain self-assembled two-dimensional (2D)
nanocrystals with definite and uniform thickness from a series of molecular Janus particles
based on molecular nanoparticles (MNPs). MNPs are 3D framework with rigid shapes.
Three different types of MNPs based on derivatives of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane
(POSS),[60] fullerene (C60), and Lindqvist-type polyoxometalate (POM) are used as building
blocks to construct these amphiphilic molecular Janus particles by covalently connecting …
