Session: Templated Assembly of Inorganic Nanomaterials

We invite contributions addressing templated and/or self-assembly of nanoscale materials. Topics include the templated assembly of nanoscale building blocks using controlled supramolecular, biological, biomolecular, and molecular interactions, resulting in nanostructured inorganic materials such as mesoporous/mesostructured materials, hybrid organic/inorganic porous frameworks, zeolites, and nanoparticle assemblies. The session seeks presentations focusing on: (1) Fundamental aspects of self-assembly, (2) control of morphology and nanostructure, (3) compositional control, (4) structural properties, and (5) synthesis mechanisms.
