Gold or CdS nanoparticles and ionic dye molecules can form supramolecular assemblies with a defined size between 100 to 300 nm when using a macro-ion as template and connector. The picture shows the arangement of gold, dendrimer, and dye in the hybrid assembly (blue sphere: dendritic macro-ion, red spheres: gold, red bars: ionic dye).
