Abstract Details

2019, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
In this work, specific types of macroions were represented by a coarse-grained (CG) model and the assembly behavior of a mixture of two types of macroions in solution using this model was performed for the first time. The CG models of polyoxometalates Keggin anion {PW12O40} and Keplerate-polyoxometalate {Mo72Fe30} were designed and simulated in solutions, respectively. The simulation results using our new model for macroions are consistent with experimental observation—the {Mo72Fe30} can self-assemble while the Keggin anions stay well-dispersed in the solution. Recent experimental results show that the size of blackberries decreases with the introduction of Keggin ions {Mo72Fe30} into the solution. In the simulation, the assembly of a mixture containing the two types of macroions in solution was also investigated. The result shows that the Keggin anions participated in the assembly process. This is found to be a thermodynamically favorable state.
