Graphical Abstract

Bottom-up and top-down nanofabrication: A fluorescent organic molecule bearing a self-assembly modulator was assembled in situ through a vapor-driven self-assembly process into strongly fluorescent spherical nanoparticles (about 30 nm in diameter) in the photochemically delineated regions of a polymer matrix (see picture; PAG: photoacid generator).
