In this paper, we present a method of controlling polymorphism in self-assembly and apply it to the long-standing problem of assembly of a colloidal diamond. The latter is often viewed as the “holy grail” of the self-assembly field, due to the challenge that it presents as well as thanks to its potential as a step towards manufacturing of photonic band-gap materials. In our approach, we use a “chromatic” version of traditional building blocks, the so-called patchy particle. Namely, the individual patches that belong to the same particle in our model are distinguishable (“colored”) and their pairwise interactions are color dependent, which could be implemented with the help of DNA fictionalization. We propose a design procedure and verify it with the help of Brownian dynamics simulations. Not only are we able to “program” the self-assembly of a high-quality cubic diamond lattice, but a small modification of the coloring scheme also allows us to “reprogram” the system to assemble into the alternative polymorph, a hexagonal diamond.
