Abstract

TiO2 nanocrystallites are prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide in the presence of N,N′-2,6-pyridinediylbis[undecamide]. The latter stabilizes the resulting semiconductor sol and provides sites at the surface of a nanocrystallite for selective binding of a uracil derivative by complementary hydrogen bonding. Addition of 6-(N-tridecylundecamido)methyluracil results in self-assembly of a heterosupermolecule subsequently characterized by 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies.
