Principle of modular building of nanostructures: the information codes and the combinatorial design

The principle of modular building of nanostructures has been formulated. The problems of the choice of the module for modular design and the algorithm of combinatorial modeling both have been described. The symbolic description of nanostructures by using of information structural codes has been moved. The possible 1D one-periodic and 2D two-periodic nanostructures from polygons with identical topologies and the corresponding plane and volume cyclic and spiral nanostructures by combinatorial modeling method have been designed. The multitudes of the 1D and the 2D base totalities of atoms have been fixed. The brief review of research papers about crystal chemical peculiarities of the inorganic substances building, the structures of which are included the designed nanostructures as the structural fragments have been presented. The results of combinatorial modular design of the polygonal nanostructures may be used for modeling new structural types of crystals, the structures of which are included polygon-like structural fragments from atoms, 1D and 2D polyhedral modules and modular blocks.
