Materials Data on Ti5Ga4 by Materials Project

Ti5Ga4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti and six equivalent Ga atoms. Both Ti–Ti bond lengths are 2.71 Å. All Ti–Ga bond lengths are 2.82 Å. In the second Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.80 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded to six equivalent Ti atoms to form distorted face-sharing GaTi6 octahedra. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ti atoms.

Nanoparticle Superlattices through Template-Encoded DNA Dendrimers

The chemical interactions that lead to the emergence of hierarchical structures are often highly complex and difficult to program. In this paper, the synthesis of a series of superlattices based upon 30 different structurally reconfigurable DNA dendrimers is reported, each of which presents a well-defined number of single-stranded oligonucleotides (i.e., sticky ends) on its surface. Such building blocks assemble with complementary DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to yield five distinct crystal structures, depending upon choice of dendrimer and defined by phase symmetry. These DNA dendrimers can associate to form micelle-dendrimers, whereby the extent of association can be modulated based upon surfactant concentration and dendrimer length to produce a low-symmetry Ti5Ga4-type phase that has yet to be reported in the field of colloidal crystal engineering. Taken together, colloidal crystals that feature three different types of particle bonding interactions.template-dendron, dendrimer-dendrimer, and DNA-modified AuNP-dendrimer.are reported, illustrating how sequence-defined recognition and dynamic association can be combined to yield complex hierarchical materials.
