In this work we study two systems, one with GNPs of 4 nm diameter and the other of 2 nm. The superlattices these systems develop are FCC and HCP, respectively. Geometric analysis is presented in terms of asphericity of NP surrounding, requirement for space-filling and structural anisotropy. Some general rules are derived to help design the soft corona around the NPs in order to obtain superlattices with desired structure and anisotropy.
