Abstract

Gold nanoparticles fully coated with discotic liquid crystalline molecules of hexaalkoxy-substituted triphenylene (Au–TP) have been synthesised, the self-assembled structure of which could be controlled (hexagonal or 1D nanochain) just by altering the ratio of methanol to toluene in the solvent.
