ABSTRACT
We report on the disparity in the assembly behavior of four types of nano-sized macroions induced by isotopic substitution of protium (H) to deuterium (D) in solvents. Macroions with modest charge density can self-assemble into single-layer, hollow, spherical "blackberry"-type structures, with larger assembly sizes representing stronger attractions among the macroions. Kinetically, all assembly processes become slower in D2 O than in H2 O. Thermodynamically, the polyoxometalate {SrPd12 }, the uranium cage {U60 } with alkali metal counterions, and the metal-organic cationic cage {Pd12 L24 } demonstrate similar assembly sizes in both H2 O and D2 O, whereas the metal oxide cluster {Mo72 Fe30 } as a weak acid shows an unusually large assembly size in H2 O-suggesting a stronger contribution from the hydrogen bonding in the last case.
