One-layer multi-arm junction (mAJ) motifs have been investigated extensively for many kinds of planar 2D (two-dimension) lattices, surface-curved 3D (three-dimension) polyhedra, and complex 3D wireframe and tensegrity structures. Herein, we report the weaving strategy to achieve two-layer stacked multi-arm junction tiles (abbreviated as mAJ) of 3AJ and 4AJ, and several primary tessellation nanostructures of nanocages and 2D rhombus lattices carrying beautifully embossed 4-point stars. Challenges for perfect tessellation are also raised regarding the increase of motif complexity from 2D to 3D.
对于多种平面二维晶格、表面弯曲的三维多面体以及复杂的三维线框和张拉整体结构，单层多臂连接（mAJ）图案已得到广泛研究。在此，我们报告了一种编织策略，以实现3AJ和4AJ的两层堆叠多臂连接瓦片（简称为mAJ），以及带有精美压花四点星的纳米笼和二维菱形晶格的几种基本镶嵌纳米结构。随着图案复杂度从二维增加到三维，还提出了完美镶嵌的挑战。
