Abstract
A structural molecular building block is provided and includes first structural molecules arranged in a three-dimensional structure and second structural molecules. Each of the second structural molecules is attached at a first region thereof to one of the first structural molecules to form the three-dimensional structure into a tessellating molecular building block and has a second region thereof for connection to a corresponding structural molecule of an additional tessellating molecular building block. The second structural molecules facilitate tessellation of the tessellating molecular building block with additional tessellating molecular building blocks to encourage growth of a macroscopic crystal.
