Penrose nanotiles: design of the thin and thick rhomb molecules to self-assemble into a quasicrystal

Abstract

New organic molecules are designed, with synthesis in mind, to fit the shape of the thin and thick rhombs of the Penrose tiling and self-assemble by hydrogen bonding into nearly flat sheets (that may stack face-to-face) following the matching rules.
