Coloration in supraparticles assembled from polyhedral metal-organic framework particles

Supraparticles are spherical colloidal crystals prepared by confined self-assembly processes. A particularly appealing property of these microscale structures is the structural color arising from interference of light with their building blocks.

Resumo:Supraparticles are spherical colloidal crystals prepared by confined self-assembly processes. A particularly appealing property of these microscale structures is the structural color arising from interference of light with their building blocks. Here, we assemble supraparticles with high structural order that exhibit coloration from uniform, polyhedral metal–organic framework (MOF) particles. We analyse the structural coloration as a function of the size of these anisotropic building blocks and their internal structure. We attribute the angle-dependent coloration of the MOF supraparticles to the presence of ordered, onion-like layers at the outermost regions. Surprisingly, even though different shapes of the MOF particles have different propensities to form these onion layers, all supraparticle dispersions show well-visible macroscopic coloration, indicating that local ordering is sufficient to generate interference effects.
