1-1. Observation of nano-crystals A control experiment The purpose • To confirm whether it is possible to crystallize on amino-NH without Y-molecule modification. Sample information preparation by T. Homma 1. THO-10-012was dispersed in MeOH……(a) 2. A droplet of (a) was put onto a TEM grid with molybdenum mesh pre-coated by lacy carbon films…….(b) 3. We observed (b) the same condition as last time.

There are a membrane structureoutside of crystal structure in some TEM images( I&K,F).
Summary • The crystals do not grow up on amino-base. The Y-shaped molecule-base is needed to grow up and to be a crystal. • A nano-crystal changes to the crystal structure only in a short time. It is not stable structure or stable sizes? • From the histograms, a lot of nano-clystals are about three molecules sizes. There is a factor that block the growth? There are a membrane structureoutside of crystal structure in some TEM images( 2-6_I & 2-7_K,F2).
