Spatial organization and patterning of palladium nanoparticles on a self-assembled helical ribbon lipid

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Jan 28:(4):468-70. doi: 10.1039/b413311k. Epub 2004 Dec 6.

Abstract

A cholesterol derivative forms self-assembled helical ribbons in organic solvent, and treatment of this helical ribbon lipid as a template with Pd(Ac)2 provides helically-patterned arrays of palladium nanoparticles followed by reduction.
