摘要: Two approaches to synthesize silicon-based catalytic structures that aim at capturing the properties and functionalities of natural enzymes are described in this brief review: unit-by-unit synthesis of macromolecular units and templating/imprinting synthesis of nanocages. The unit-by-unit approach mimics the peptide synthesis method, offers atomic control of the structure, but is inefficient in synthesizing large structures such as nanocages. The templating/imprinting method is more suitable for nanocages at the sacrifice of atomic control, and the nanocages obtained are shown to possess properties exhibited by enzyme cavities.

Abstract: Approaches to synthesize silicon-based catalytic structures that aim at capturi n g the properties and functionalities of natural enzymes include unit-by-unit s yn thesis of macromolecular units with atomic control and templating/imprinting syn thesis of nanocages which sacrifices atomic control for convenience. A combinati on of these approaches may lead to the desired structures ultimately.
