Abstract:Photosynthetic organisms organize discrete light-harvesting complexes into large-scale networks to facilitate efficient light collection and utilization. Inspired by nature, herein, synthetic DNA templates were used to direct the formation of dye aggregates with a cyanine dye, K21, into discrete branched photonic complexes, and two-dimensional (2D) excitonic networks. The DNA templates ranged from four-arm DNA tiles, � 10 nm in each arm, to 2D wireframe DNA origami nanostructures with different geometries and … Show more
