Historical Background:[1-3] Alchemy (331 B.C. – 18th Century) -
chemistry chaos, empirical chemistry recipes, not a true science.
L.-J. Proust (1788) - reactive modules,
whole integer relationships in reactions/assemblies.
A.L. Lavoisier (1789) - chemical evidence
for reactive modules- atoms/elements (Traite Elementaire de Chemie.
J. Dalton (1808) - First example of atom
mimicry, wood spheroids (first CPK models), table of chemical elements, compound atoms, first chemical symbols/chemical language (front page).
Atoms: Form chemical bonds Bond with discrete valencies and
stoichiometries Bond with discrete directionality Exhibit systematic property trends
J. Berzelius (1832) - first universal
chemical language based on chemical symbols, isomerism, etc. [4]
Others: S. Cannizzaro (1860), J. Newland
(1865) “Law of octaves”, etc.– observed many mini-periodic property patterns associated with the elements.
Pre-Mendeleev: Elemental physical
properties depend on mass (size); Chemical properties depend on valency.
Mendeleev’s Dream: A 19th Century Concept (1808-1869) Mendeleev attempted to rationalize mini periodic patterns. This led to systematic framework for all atomic elements (Mendeleev’s Periodic Table). [5]
19th and 20th Century Chemists/Physicists A traditional chemistry system and nomenclature evolves -–“central paradigm.” A 20th Century overview of the Periodic Table: Based on observed periodic patterns and 20th century insights the atomic elements may be viewed to exhibit general trends and Critical Atomic Design Parameters (CADP’s)[6,7] as described in Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Tomalia’s Dream: A 21st Century Concept (1985-1990) Reported first synthesis of complete
dendrimer family (i.e., PAMAM’s) [8] and their use as precise, systematic nanoscale building blocks for construction of new mega polymers called “Starburst Polymers”.
Subsequent dendrimer studies provided insights into the importance of “critical structure control parameters” involved at the atomic CADP, small molecule CMDP, and nanoscale CNDP levels; namely: (a) size, (b) shape, (c) surface chemistry, (d) flexibility /rigidity, (e) architecture/ topology, (f) elemental composition. Performing iterative reaction sequences (i.e., aufbau steps) according to dendritic growth principles transferred CADP->CMDP>CNDP and produced precise, synthetic nanoscale macromolecules with structure control equivalent to precise biological macromolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA.[5]

All summed up in Angew. Chem. Abstract-(1990) – ISI citations: >2100. [6] Abstract
Starburst dendrimers are three-dimensional, highly ordered oligomeric and polymeric compounds formed by reiterative reaction sequences starting from small molecules—“initiator cores” such as ammonia or pentaerythritol. Protecting group strategies are crucial in these syntheses, which proceed via discrete “Aufbau” stages referred to as generations. Critical molecular design parameters (CMDPs) such as size, shape, and surface chemistry may be controlled by reactions and synthetic building blocks used. Starburst dendrimers can mimic certain properties of micelles and liposomes and even those of biomolecules and the still more complicated, but highly organized, building blocks of biological systems. Numerous applications of these compounds are conceivable, particularly in mimicking the functions of large biomolecules as drug carriers and immunogens. This new branch of “supramolecular chemistry” should spark new developments in both organic and macromolecular chemistry.[6]
Figure 2.[6]
Further Elaboration/Expansion of the “The Dream” (1994-2009):
Questions asked: “Could traditional chemistry 1st principles
be used to define a central paradigm for synthetic nanoscale chemistry?”
Based on the presumed conservation and communication of critical atomic design parameters (CADPs) from atomic to the molecular and nanoscale level—
“Could one expect to see analogies of atomic element (atom mimicry), compound formation and periodic property patterns for well-defined nanoscale modules (i.e., collections of 103 -109 atoms; 104 -1010 daltons) that are 103 larger than atoms?”
Published work to answer these questions: 1. Adv. Materials (1994) - Atom mimicry at
the nanoscale level observed for dendrimers--modular reactivity/nano-compound formation.[7]
2. Progress in Polymer Sci. (2005) - Quantized nanoscale building blocks/modules.[8]
3. NSF Workshop (2007) entitled: “Periodic Patterns, Relationships and Categories of Well Defined Nanoscale Building Blocks”.[9]
4. J. Nanoparticle Research (2009) - “In Quest of a System for Unifying and Defining Nanoscience”.[10]
5. Soft Matter (2009, in press) - “Dendrons/Dendrimers: Quantized, Nano-Element Like Building Blocks for Soft-Soft and Soft Hard Nano-Compound Synthesis.”[11]

Fulfillment of “The Dream”: (a) Atom mimicry principles are exhibited by
all presently known categories of “well-defined nanomaterials” (i.e., soft and hard matter).

(b) A Nanomaterials Classification
Roadmap has been proposed for all well-defined soft and hard nanoparticles (i.e., 0-D/1-D). Based on “atom mimicry” and other traditional chemistry 1st principles
(i.e., conservation of structure controlled CMDPs/CNDPs), six categories of soft particle nano-elements and six categories of hard particle nano-elements have been proposed.[10]

Systematic Nano-periodicConcept overview (Figs. 17-18): By using first principles and step logic
that led to the “central dogma” for traditional chemistry, the criteria of nanoscale atom mimicry was applied to Category I-type, well-defined nanoparticles.
This produced 12 nano-element categories which were classified into six hard particle [H (1-6)] and six soft particle [S (1-6)] nano-element categories.
Chemically bonding or assembling these hard and soft nano-elements leads to hard:hard, soft:hard or soft:soft type nano-compound/assembly categories, many of which have been reported in the literature .
Based on discrete, quantized features associated with the proposed nano-elements and their compounds/assemblies, an abundance of nano-periodic property patterns related to their intrinsic physico-chemical and functional/application properties have been observed and reported in the literature.
The first example of nano-periodic tables based on this concept have been reported by V. Percec, et al.[16] for prediction of tertiary/quaternary self assembly structures for [S-1] type dendrons based on size, shape and surface chemistry.
Prologue: “Science will continue to advance regardless of disputes over priorities. However, confusion and disagreement over common scientific language and standards can plunge a discipline into chaos. Such was the case for 19th century traditional chemistry before Mendeleyev’s Periodic Table of the Elements.” “Mendeleleyev’s Dream- The Quest for the Elements”- P. Strathern[3]
Figure 18.[10]
The Future: This proposed concept must be viewed as a nano-periodic system with many defining dimensions. This new complexity will undoubtedly require more than a single nano-periodic table to capture such a broad range of designable features and information. The daunting challenge will be to consolidate these emerging nano-periodic property patterns into major trends and areas much as pre-Mendeleelev scientists did in the 19th century with the expectation that this effort will crystallize into a grand perspective and system of understanding. Accomplishing this objective will provide a powerful means for predicting new nano-properties/behavior as well as an effective system for anticipating new nano-materials yet to be discovered, while defining important and critical risk/benefit boundaries in the field of nanoscience. Finally this concept embraces the emergence of the new field of “well-defined synthetic nanochemistry” as described in Figure 19.
