(A) Schematic of the two superlattices formed by LNF3 nanoplatelets: hexagonal (light blue) and herringbone (light orange). To highlight the difference in the local arrangement within the superlattices, a reference particle is colored purple, and the different lattice positions are highlighted: primary (green), hexagonal (blue), and herringbone (orange). Note this schematic is for an elongation value γ=1 for which both tilings fill space. (B) Transformation of a regular hexagon (α=120,γ=1) into an elongated hexagon (α=68,γ). γ is the ratio of sides B and A, a tunable shape parameter to study the influence of shape on entropic bonds
