Double cohesion effectively assembles large 2D arrays from complex 3D tiles. This method proved superior to single duplex cohesion for creating intricate lattice structures.

Area of Science:

Supramolecular chemistry
Nanotechnology
Materials science

Background:

Double cohesion is a valuable technique for constructing 2D arrays.
Previous methods struggled with assembling large, complex molecular tiles.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the utility of double cohesion for assembling robust 2D arrays.
To apply double cohesion to 3D tile-based systems and compare it with other cohesion methods.

Main Methods:

Applying double cohesion to tensegrity triangles, six-helix bundles, and skewed triple crossover molecules.
Constructing 2D arrays by blunting one propagation direction of inherently 3D tiles.
Comparing double cohesion with double paranemic (PX) cohesion.

Main Results:

Successfully assembled diverse 2D arrays from 3D tiles using double cohesion.
Created large parallelogram arrays previously unattainable with single duplex cohesion.
Demonstrated double cohesion's superiority over PX cohesion for large motif assembly.

Conclusions:

Double cohesion is a versatile and effective strategy for building complex 2D molecular arrays.
This approach enables the formation of large, ordered structures from 3D building blocks.
Double cohesion offers enhanced capabilities for nanoscale assembly compared to other methods.
