Nanoparticle self-assembly to form dimers, trimers or larger organized mesoscale structures is of high importance for the fabrication of exotic materials with novel collective properties deriving from the properties of the individual nanoparticles. The assembly of nanoparticles using DNA has attracted significant interest due to the rich versatility of these biopolymers and the ease of their chemical manipulation.<br/>In this presentation I will discuss recent progress in my group related to the development of new tools to control the reversible DNA self-assembly of nanoparticle oligomers and mesoscale crystal structures based on chemical and photochemical methods.
