Abstract

Electron-beam lithography was used to pattern poly(styrene-co-(methyldiaminotriazine) styrene) (PS-Triaz). These polymer nanopatterns were utilized as molecular scaffolds for assembling complementary thymine-functionalized CdSe-ZnS quantum dots (Thy-QDs) via three-point hydrogen-bonding molecular recognition. This interaction was very specific, with N-methyl thymine-functionalized QDs (MeThy-QDs) not depositing on the surfaces. The "lock and key" specificity of the assembly is mirrored in the disassembly process, where complete removal of the QD was observed using a competing thymine guest.
