Abstract
The development of supramolecular nanocomposite hydrogels with good mechanical properties and multifunctional characteristics remains challenging. The reinforced role of interfacial weak interactions is important for the mechanical properties of nanocomposite hydrogels. Here, a dynamic host-guest inclusion complex from the host molecule CB[7] and guest units was employed to prepare Fe3O4 hybrid supramolecular nanocomposite hydrogels. The results show that the as-obtained hydrogel with a porous structure was prepared. The CB[7]-modified Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@CB[7]) nanoparticles severed as a cross-linker for fabricating the hydrogel's network. By changing the Fe3O4@CB[7] content, their tensile stress ranged from 0.102 to 0.403 MPa and their compression stress ranged (70% compression strain) from 0.059 to 0.775 MPa. By changing the guest units, their tensile stress ranged from 0.3 MPa to 0.403 MPa. The self-healing efficiency of the hydrogels was 99% after 48 h at room temperature. The as-obtained hydrogels with strain sensitivity can be applied for detecting the movement of an elbow and finger. The supramolecular hydrogel exhibits NIR responsiveness, self-healing, injectability, tunable mechanical strength and conductive ability, and can be used in flexible electronics.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202406909.

Abstract
We report a series of coordination cages that incorporate peptide chains at their vertices, prepared through subcomponent self-assembly. Three distinct heterochiral tripeptide subcomponents were incorporated, each exhibiting an L-D-L stereoconfiguration. Through this approach, we prepared and characterized three tetrahedral metal-peptide cages that incorporate thiol and methylthio groups. The gelation of these cages was probed through the binding of additional metal ions, with the metal-peptide cages acting as junctions, owing to the presence of sulfur atoms on the peripheral peptides. Gels were obtained with cages bearing cysteine at the C-terminus. Our strategy for developing functional metal-coordinated supramolecular gels with a modular design may result in the development of materials useful for chemical separations or drug delivery.

[PMID: 38872363 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202400419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Supramolecular gels are an important class of materials that are promising for its wide range of applications including drug delivery. While supramolecular gels are intrinsically porous because of the 3D nano-matrix (gel matrix) that is being formed due to supramolecular self-assembly process involving the gelator molecules during gelation, additional nanopores can be introduced to the overall gel if the gelator molecule itself holds molecular cavity such as metal-organic-cage (MOC) molecules. A MOC having the molecular formula [(Pd2L24).4NO3].3H2O.2DMF.MeOH (Pd-cage) (L2=5-Azido-N,N'-di-pyridin-3-yl-isophthalamide) was successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Stimuli-reversible supramolecular metallogel PdG could easily be formed from Pd-cage in DMSO/water mixture. The molecular cage of Pd-cage was demonstrated to be available for loading an anti-cancer drug namely doxorubicin (DOX). Subsequently, DOX was also loaded within PdG and delivered to melanoma cell line B16-F10 displaying significant anti-cancer activity as revealed by both MTT and scratch assay. Rheoreversibility of PdG and its ability to load and deliver DOX to cancer cells clearly raised hope for developing this metallogel further as topical anticancer gel.

Nat Commun 2024; 15:3951.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymer networks contain non-covalent cross-links that enable access to broadly tunable mechanical properties and stimuli-responsive behaviors; the incorporation of multiple unique non-covalent cross-links within such materials further expands their mechanical responses and functionality. To date, however, the design of such materials has been accomplished through discrete combinations of distinct interaction types in series, limiting materials design logic. Here we introduce the concept of leveraging "nested" supramolecular crosslinks, wherein two distinct types of non-covalent interactions exist in parallel, to control bulk material functions. To demonstrate this concept, we use polymer-linked Pd2L4 metal-organic cage (polyMOC) gels that form hollow metal-organic cage junctions through metal-ligand coordination and can exhibit well-defined host-guest binding within their cavity. In these "nested" supramolecular network junctions, the thermodynamics of host-guest interactions within the junctions affect the metal-ligand interactions that form those junctions, ultimately translating to substantial guest-dependent changes in bulk material properties that could not be achieved in traditional supramolecular networks with multiple interactions in series.

Abstract
Supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) are predictable and size-tunable supramolecular self-assemblies constructed through directional coordination bonds between readily available organic ligands and metallic receptors. Based on planar and 3D structures, SCCs can be mainly divided into two categories: metallacycles (e.g., rhomboidal, triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal) and metallacages (e.g., tetrahedral, hexahedral, and dodecahedral). The directional coordination bonds enable the efficient formation of metallacycles and metallacages with well-defined architectures and geometries. SCCs exhibit several advantages, including good directionality, strong interaction force, tunable modularity, and good solution processability, making them highly attractive for biomedical applications, especially in cellular imaging and cancer therapy. Compared with their molecular precursors, SCCs demonstrate enhanced cellular uptake and a strengthened tumor accumulation effect, owing to their inherently charged structures. These properties and the chemotherapeutic potential inherent to organic platinum complexes have promoted their widespread application in antitumor therapy. Furthermore, the defined structures of SCCs, achieved via the design modification of assembly elements and introduction of different functional groups, enable them to combat malignant tumors through multipronged treatment modalities. Because the development of cancer-treatment methodologies integrated in clinics has evolved from single-modality chemotherapy to synergistic multimodal therapy, the development of functional SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy is crucial. While some pioneering reviews have explored the bioapplications of SCCs, often categorized by a specific function or focusing on the specific metal or ligand types, a comprehensive exploration of their synergistic multifunctionality is a critical gap in the current literature.In this Account, we focus on platinum-based SCCs and their applications in cancer therapy. While other metals, such as Pd-, Rh-, Ru-, and Ir-based SCCs, have been explored for cancer therapy by Therrien and Casini et al., platinum-based SCCs have garnered significant interest, owing to their unique advantages in antitumor therapy. These platinum-based SCCs, which enhance antitumor efficacy, are considered prominent candidates for cancer therapies owing to their desirable properties, such as potent antitumor activity, exceptionally low systemic toxicity, active tumor-targeting ability, and enhanced cellular uptake. Furthermore, diverse diagnostic and therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy) can be integrated into a single platform based on platinum-based SCCs for cancer therapy. Consequently, herein, we summarize our recent research on platinum-based SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy with particular emphasis on the cooperative interplay between different therapeutic methods. In the Conclusions section, we present the key advancements achieved on the basis of our research findings and propose future directions that may significantly impact the field.

Abstract
Enantiomerically enriched crown ethers (CE) exhibit strong asymmetric induction in phase transfer catalysis, supramolecular catalysis and molecular recognition processes. Traditional methods have often been used to access these valuable compounds, which limit their diversity and consequently their applicability. Herein, a practical catalytic method is described for the gram scale synthesis of a class of chiral CEs (aza-crown ethers; ACEs) using Rh-catalyzed hydroamination of bis(allenes) with diamines. Using this approach, a wide range of chiral vinyl functionalized CEs with ring sizes ranging from 12 to 36 have been successfully prepared in high yields of up to 92 %, dr of up to >20 : 1 and er of up to >99 : 1. These vinyl substituted CEs allow for further diversification giving facile access to various CE derivatives as well as to their three-dimensional analogues using ring-closing metathesis. Some of these chiral CEs themselves display high potential for use in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Hierarchical combinations involving metal-ligand interactions and host-guest interactions can consolidate building blocks with unique functions into material properties. This study reports the construction and hierarchical self-assembly of multifunctional trinuclear AuI tricarbene complex containing three crown ether units and three ferrocene units. Host-guest interactions between the multifunctional trinuclear AuI tricarbene complex and organic ammonium salts were investigated, revealing that crown ether-based host-guest interactions can effectively regulate the electrochemical properties of the complex. Utilizing bisammonium salt as the cross-linker and multifunctional trinuclear AuI tricarbene complex as the core, a stimuli-responsive and self-healing supramolecular gel with different functional units was obtained.

Abstract
Multicomponent metallacages can integrate the functions of their different building blocks to achieve synergetic effects for advanced applications. Herein, based on metal-coordination-driven self-assembly, we report the preparation of a series of isoreticular tetraphenylethylene-based metallacages, which are well characterized by multinuclear NMR, ESI-TOF-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The suitable integration of photosensitizing tetraphenylethylene units as faces and Re catalytic complexes as the pillars into a single metallacage offers a high photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 1707 μmol g-1 h-1 , which is one of the highest values among reported metallacages. Femtosecond transient absorption and DFT calculations reveal that the metallacage can serve as a platform for the precise and organized arrangement of the two building blocks, enabling efficient and directional electron transfer for highly efficient photocatalytic performance. This study provides a general strategy to integrate multifunctional ligands into a certain metallacage to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production, which will guide the future design of metallacages towards photocatalysis.

Abstract
Hierarchical self-assembly of Pt(II) metallacycles for the construction of functional materials has received considerable research interest, owing to their potential to meet increasing complexity and functionality demands while being based on well-defined scaffolds. However, the fabrication of long-range-ordered Pt(II) metallacycle-based two-dimensional hierarchical self-assemblies (2D HSAs) remains a challenge, primarily because of the limitations of conventional orthogonal noncovalent interaction (NCI) motifs and the intrinsic characteristics of Pt(II) metallacycles, making the delicate self-assembly processes difficult to control. Herein, we prepare well-regulated Pt(II)-metallacycle-based 2D HSAs through a directed strategy involving double cation-π interactions derived from C3-symmetric hexagonal Pt(II) metallacycles and C2-symmetric sodium phenate monomers. Spatially confined arrays of planar Pt(II) metallacycles and the selective growth of self-assemblies at desired locations are achieved by employing strong cation-π driving forces with well-defined directionality as the second orthogonal NCI, realizing the bottom-up, three-stage construction of Pt(II)-metallacycle-based 2D HSAs. The resultant 2D HSAs are applied as dual-mode catalysis platforms, which are loaded with two different nanocatalysts, one promoting catalytic oxidation and the other promoting photocatalytic reduction.

Abstract
In recent years, metal-organic gels (MOGs) have attracted much attention due to their hierarchical porous structure, large specific surface area, and good surface modifiability. Compared with MOFs, the synthesis conditions of MOGs are gentler and more stable. At present, MOGs are widely used in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, energy storage, electrochromic devices, sensing, analysis, and detection. In this paper, literature metrology and knowledge graph visualization analysis are adopted to analyze and summarize the literature data in the field of MOGs. The visualization maps of the temporal distribution, spatial distribution, authors and institutions' distribution, influence of highly cited literature and journals, keyword clustering, and research trends are helpful to clearly grasp the content and development trend of MOG materials research, point out the future research direction for scholars, and promote the practical application of MOGs. At the same time, the paper reviews the research and application progress of MOGs in recent years by combining keyword clustering, time lines, and emergence maps, and looks forward to their challenges, future development trend, and application prospects.

Abstract
Herein, a series of face-capped (Tr2M3)4L4 (Tr = cycloheptatrienyl cationic ring; M = metal; L = organosulfur ligand) tetrahedral cages 1-3 functionalized with 12 appended crown ether moieties were designed and synthesized. The reversible binding of ammonium cations with peripheral crown ether moieties to adjust internal guest-binding was realized. Combination of a bisammonium linker and cage 3 led to the formation of a supramolecular gel SPN1 via host-guest interactions between the crown ether moieties and ammonium salts. The obtained supramolecular gel exhibited multiple-stimuli responsiveness, injectability, and excellent self-healing properties and could be further developed to a SPN1-based drug delivery system. In addition, the storage modulus of SPN1 was 20 times higher than that of the model gel without Pd-Pd bonded blocks, and SPN1 had better self-healing properties compared with the latter, demonstrating the importance of such cages in improving mechanical strength without losing the dynamic properties of the material. The cytotoxicity in vitro of the drug-loaded (doxorubicin or methotrexate) SPN1 was significantly improved compared to that of free drugs.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional supramolecular hydrogels with high mechanical strength and multifunction is in high demand. In this work, the diblock copolymer poly(acrylamide-co-1-benzyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide)-block-polyAzobenzene is synthesized through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The dynamic host-guest interactions between the host molecule cucurbit[8] uril and guest units are used to fabricate a 3D network of supramolecular hydrogels. Investigations on the properties of the supramolecular hydrogels show that the tensile stress of the sample is 1.46 MPa, eight times higher than that of hydrogel without liquid-crystalline block copolymer, and the self-healing efficiency of the supramolecular hydrogels at room temperature is 88.3% (fracture stress) and 100% (fracture strain) after 24 h. Results show that microphase-separated structure plays a key role in the high-strength hydrogel, whereas the host-guest interaction endows the hydrogel with self-healing properties. The supramolecular hydrogels with high mechanical strength, photo-responsivity, injectability, and biocompatibility can be used in various potential applications.

Abstract
Recently, stimuli-responsive supramolecular gels have received significant attention because their properties can be modulated through external stimuli such as heat, light, electricity, magnetic fields, mechanical stress, pH, ions, chemicals and enzymes. Among these gels, stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels have shown promising applications in material science because of their fascinating redox, optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In this review, research progress on stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels in recent years is systematically summarized. According to external stimulus sources, stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels, including chemical, physical and multiple stimuli-responsive metallogels, are discussed separately. Moreover, challenges, suggestions and opportunities regarding the development of novel stimuli-responsive metallogels are presented. We believe the knowledge and inspiration gained from this review will deepen the current understanding of stimuli-responsive smart metallogels and encourage more scientists to provide valuable contributions to this topic in the coming decades.

Abstract
A hexaphenyltriphenylene-based hexatopic pyridyl ligand is designed and used to prepare three hexagonal prismatic metallacages via metal-coordination-driven self-assembly. Owing to the planar conjugated structures of the hexaphenyltriphenylene skeleton, such metallacages show good host-guest complexation with a series of emissive dyes, which have been further used to tune their emission in solution. Interestingly, based on their complementary emission colors, white light emission is achieved in a mixture of the host metallacages and the guests.

Abstract
We report the formation of metal-organic cage-crosslinked polymer hydrogels. To enable crosslinking of the cages and subsequent network formation, we used homodifunctionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains terminally substituted with bipyridines as ligands for the Pd6 L4 corners. The encapsulation of guest molecules into supramolecular self-assembled metal-organic cage-crosslinked hydrogels, as well as ultrasound-induced disassembly of the cages with release of their cargo, is presented in addition to their characterization by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, rheology, and comprehensive small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments. The constrained geometries simulating external force (CoGEF) method and barriers using a force-modified potential energy surface (FMPES) suggest that the cage-opening mechanism starts with the dissociation of one pyridine ligand at around 0.5 nN. We show the efficient sonochemical activation of the hydrogels HG3 -6 , increasing the non-covalent guest-loading of completely unmodified drugs available for release by a factor of ten in comparison to non-crosslinked, star-shaped assemblies in solution.

Abstract
The host-guest interaction between hexamethyl cucurbit[5]uril (HmeQ[5]) and 1,4-diaminobenzene (DB) was investigated, and a new low-molecular-weight supramolecular gel was prepared by a simple heating/mixing cooling method. The structure and properties of the supramolecular gel were characterized. Results revealed that DB molecules did not enter the cavity of HmeQ[5] and that hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl group at the HmeQ[5] port and the DB amino groups, together with dipole-dipole interactions and outer wall interactions, were the main driving forces for the formation of the supramolecular gel. The HmeQ[5]/DB gel system exhibits temperature sensitivity. The phosphor 6-bromo-2-naphthol (BrNp) was embedded in the gel to give the gel fluorescent phosphorescence double emission. The double emission ability at room temperature can be attributed to the ordered microstructure of the supramolecular gel, which effectively avoids the nonradiative transition of BrNp. Meanwhile, HmeQ[5]/DB-BrNp has good biocompatibility and low biotoxicity, which is compatible with HeLa cells to achieve cytoplasmic staining of HeLa in the red channel. The supramolecular gels constructed by this supramolecular assembly strategy not only have good temperature sensitivity but also extend the application of Q[n]s in biomedical fields.

Abstract
The precise sequence control of polymer chain is an important research topic of polymer chemistry. Although some methods such as iterative synthesis and supramolecular polymerization have been developed to fabricate sequence-controllable polymer, it is still a great challenge to consecutively prepare multiple supramolecular polymers with different sequence structures. In this work, through the reasonable utilization of assembly motifs, we integrated multiple host-guest recognitions and metal coordination interactions to prepare different sequence-controlled supramolecular polymers by a multistep assembly strategy. This research provides inspiration for the design and preparation of supramolecular polymers with different sequence structures.

Abstract
Biological systems employ non-equilibrium self-assembly to create ordered nanoarchitectures with sophisticated functions. However, it is challenging to construct artificial non-equilibrium nanoassemblies due to lack of control over assembly dynamics and kinetics. Herein, we design a series of linear polymers with different side groups for further coordination-driven self-assembly based on shape-complementarity. Such a design introduces a main-chain confinement which effectively slows down the assembly process of side groups, thus allowing us to monitor the real-time evolution of lychee-like nanostructures. The function related to the non-equilibrium nature is further explored by performing photothermal conversion study. The ability to observe and capture non-equilibrium states in this supramolecular system will enhance our understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic features as well as functions of living systems.

Abstract
Extensive reports on the use of supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) in self-healing materials, controlled release system and degradable products have led more researchers to tap their potential owing to the unique properties. Yet, the attendant efforts in the visualization through conventional luminescence methods during the formation of SPNs have been met with limited success. Herein, we designed a special type of SPNs prepared by PPMU polymer chains containing pyrene benzohydrazonate (PBHZ) molecules as AIEgens for the multicolor visualization with naked eyes. The complete detection of the formation process of the networks relied on the PBHZ molecules with aggregation-induced ratiometric emission (AIRE) effect, which enabled the fluorescence of the polymer networks transits from blue to cyan, and then to green with the increasing crosslinking degree derived from the hydrogen bonds between 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone (UPy) units of the polymer chains. Additionally, we certificated the stimuli-responsiveness of the obtained SPNs, and the fluorescence change, as well as observing the morphology transition. The AIEgen-enabled multicolor visualization of the formation of SPNs may provide better understanding of the details of the crosslinking interactions in the microstructural evolution, giving more inspiration for the multifunctional products based on SPNs.

Abstract
Lubricants performing better in machinery systems would lead to the remarkable reduction of environmental pollution problems and the significant improvement of fuel economy. A new family of supramolecular polymer gel lubricants with urea groups has been successfully prepared via self-assembling noncovalent bonds. These newly designed supramolecular polymer gels were well characterized with field-emission scanning electron microscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, a rheometer, oscillating reciprocating friction, and a wear tester. Compared to low molecular weight supramolecular gels, the covalent and noncovalent bonds cooperated in the supramolecular polymer gel based on macromolecules. Hence, the mechanical properties and viscoelasticity of gel lubricants are greater than those of the low molecular weight supramolecular gels. Furthermore, owing to the longer chain length of polymer gelators, the thickness of the adsorbed film formed on the surface lubricated by macromolecules is thicker than that on the surface lubricated by low molecular weight supramolecular gels, which positively correlates with the lubricating property, making supramolecular polymer gels based on macromolecules better than low molecular weight supramolecular gels. Excitingly, the supramolecular polymer gels based on macromolecules exhibit more excellent thermal reversibility, creep recovery, and thixotropic properties, which not only achieve the lubricating property but also lead to the remarkable reduction of environmental pollution problems due to oil creeping.

Abstract
We herein report the preparation of a series of hexaphenylbenzene (HPB)-based deep blue-emissive metallacages via multicomponent coordination-driven self-assembly. These metallacages feature prismatic structures with HPB derivatives as the faces and tetracarboxylic ligands as the pillars, as evidenced by NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction analysis. Light-harvesting systems were further constructed by employing the metallacages as the donor and a naphthalimide derivative (NAP) as the acceptor, owing to their good spectral overlap. The judiciously chosen metallacage serves as the antenna, providing the suitable energy to excite the non-emissive NAP, and thus resulting in bright emission for NAP in the solid state. This study provides a type of HPB-based multicomponent emissive metallacage and explores their applications as energy donors to light up non-emissive fluorophores in the solid state, which will advance the development of emissive metallacages as useful luminescent materials.

Abstract
Polymer gels have been widely used in the field for tissue engineering, sensing, and drug delivery due to their excellent biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and degradability. However, common polymer gels are easily deformed on account of their relatively weak mechanical properties, thereby hindering their application fields, as well as shortening their service life. The incorporation of reversible non-covalent bonds is capable of improving the mechanical properties of polymer gels. Thus, here, a poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer network was prepared by introducing host–guest interactions between pillar[5]arene and pyridine cation. Owing to the incorporated host–guest interactions, the modified polymer gels exhibited extraordinary mechanical properties according to the results of the tensile tests. In addition, the influence of the host–guest interaction on the mechanical properties of the gels was also proved by rheological experiments and swelling experiments.

Abstract
The development of more effective tumor therapy remains challenging and has received widespread attention. In the past decade, there has been growing interest in synergistic tumor therapy based on supramolecular coordination complexes. Herein, we describe two triangular metallacycles (1 and 2) constructed by the formation of pyridyl boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-platinum coordination. Metallacycle 2 had considerable tumor penetration, as evidenced by the phenylthiol-BODIPY ligand imparting red fluorescent emission at ∼660 nm, enabling bioimaging, and transport visualization within the tumor. Based on the therapeutic efficacy of the platinum(II) acceptor and high singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability of BODIPY, 2 was successfully incorporated into nanoparticles and applied in chemo-photodynamic tumor therapy against malignant human glioma U87 cells, showing excellent synergistic therapeutic efficacy. A half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.35 μM was measured for 2 against U87 cancer cells in vitro. In vivo experiments indicated that 2 displayed precise tumor targeting ability and good biocompatibility, along with strong antitumor effects. This work provides a promising approach for treating solid tumors by synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy of supramolecular coordination complexes.

Abstract
3‐Nitrotyrosine (NT) is generated by the action of peroxynitrite and other reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and as a consequence it is accumulated in inflammation‐associated conditions. This is particularly relevant in kidney disease, where NT concentration in blood is considerably high. Therefore, NT is a crucial biomarker of renal damage, although it has been underestimated in clinical diagnosis due to the lack of an appropriate sensing method. Herein we report the first fluorescent supramolecular sensor for such a relevant compound: Fluorescence by rotational restriction of tetraphenylethenes (TPE) in a covalent cage is selectively quenched in human blood serum by 3‐nitrotyrosine (NT) that binds to the cage with high affinity, allowing a limit of detection within the reported physiological concentrations of NT in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Currently, organic semiconductors (OSs) are widely used as active components in practical devices related to energy storage and conversion, optoelectronics, catalysis, and biological sensors, etc. To satisfy the actual requirements of different types of devices, chemical structure design and self-assembly process control have been synergistically performed. The morphology and other basic properties of multiscale OS components are governed on a broad scale from nanometers to macroscopic micrometers. Herein, the up-to-date design strategies for fabricating multiscale OSs are comprehensively reviewed. Related representative works are introduced, applications in practical devices are discussed, and future research directions are presented. Design strategies combining the advances in organic synthetic chemistry and supramolecular assembly technology perform an integral role in the development of a new generation of multiscale OSs.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymer gels (SPGs) are precisely designed gels brought together by noncovalent interactions to form three-dimensional network structures of polymers. SPGs combine the merits of supramolecular polymers and gels, such as stimuli-responsiveness, self-healing, and self-adaptation, which endows SPGs with potential application value in the fields of biomaterials, etc. Recently, much effort has been made to design new SPGs and related materials with high performance. Herein, we review the research endeavor and future directions of SPGs depending on the construction methods, topological structures, stimuli-responsiveness, and functionality. We hope that the review will provide reference values for the researchers working in supramolecular chemistry and gels.

Abstract
In recent years, the rational design and construction of drug delivery systems (DDSs) via a supramolecular approach for improving chemical therapeutics have gained significant attention. Here, we report a host-guest DDS formed from a fluorescent, chirality-responsive, and water-soluble tetraphenylethene-based octacationic cage as a fluorescent/chiral probe, solubilizer, and molecular cargo, which can recognize chiral nucleoside drugs, enhance the solubility of insoluble drugs, and protect drugs from the outside environment by forming host-guest complexes in aqueous solution. Given the fluorescence properties and dynamically rotational conformation of tetraphenylethene (TPE) units, this fluorescent and chirality-responsive cage exhibits different responses including turn-on/turn-off fluorescence and negative/positive circular dichroism (CD) when binding with different chiral nucleoside drugs in water, resulting in multiple-responsive photophysical behaviors for these chiral drugs. Furthermore, this water-soluble cationic cage with a hydrophobic cavity can improve the water solubility of insoluble drugs (e.g., CPT) by forming host-guest complexes in water. More importantly, this multifunctional cage exhibits a low toxicity to both human colon and breast cancer cell lines in vitro, and drugs encapsulated by the cage are more effective in killing cancer cells than drugs alone. Finally, the on-off-on fluorescence responses in the formation and dissociation processes of the cage⊃drug complexes have been successfully used to monitor drug release and track drug delivery by fluorescence microscopy in vitro. Therefore, this fluorescent, chirality-responsive, and water-soluble cage as a multifunctional molecular container can be used to construct a smart drug delivery system with several functions of fluorescence and CD detection, water solubilization, real-time monitoring, and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Fluorescent supramolecular polymers combine the benefits of supramolecular polymers in terms of dynamic nature with the optoelectronic features of incorporated fluorophores. However, the majority of fluorescent supramolecular polymers can only exhibit a single fluorescent state, restricting their applications. Incorporating J-type dyes into supramolecular monomers is expected to impart supramolecular polymers with variable fluorescence colors, because the aggregation mode of J-type dyes is closely related to the formation of supramolecular polymers. Herein, we report a supramolecular polymer [M1·Zn(OTf)2 ]n , in which the monomer M1 contains a J-type dye, oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (OPV) derivative, and two terpyridine ends. The M1 + Zn(OTf)2 solutions exhibit fluorescence color changes varying from cyan to yellow-green in the monomer concentration ranging from 0.04 to 1.00 mM. Moreover, based on the outputs from laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), the fluorescence color transition during the formation of supramolecular polymers is intuitively proven. Additionally, considering the close relationship between the supramolecular polymer structure and the fluorescence color, the fluorescence color can be regulated by introducing tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) that can bind with Zn2+ competitively to break up the structure of the supramolecular polymer.

Abstract
Metal-organic cages (MOCs) are discrete, supramolecular entities that consist of metal nodes and organic linkers, which can offer solution processability and high porosity. Thereby, their predesigned structures can undergo post-synthetic modifications (PSMs) to introduce new functional groups and properties by modifying the linker, metal node, pore or surface environment. This Review explores current PSM strategies used for MOCs, including covalent, coordination and noncovalent methods. The effects of newly introduced functional groups or generated complexes upon the PSMs of MOCs are also detailed, such as improving structural stability or endowing desired functionalities. The development of the aforementioned design principles has enabled systematic approaches for the development and characterization of families of MOCs and, thereby, provides insight into structure-function relationships that will guide future developments.

Abstract
Self-assembly to build high-level structures, which is ubiquitous in living systems, has captured the imagination of scientists, striving to emulate the intricacy, homogeneity and versatility of the naturally occurring systems, and to pursue a similar level of organization in artificial building blocks. In particular, self-sorting assembly in multicomponent systems, based on the spontaneous recognition and consequent spatial aggregation of the same or interactive building units, is able to realize very complicated assembly behaviours, and usually results in multiple well-ordered products or hierarchical structures in a one-step manner. This highly efficient assembly strategy has attracted tremendous research attention in recent years, and numerous examples have been reported in artificial systems, particularly with supramolecular and polymeric building blocks. In the current review, we summarize the progress in recent years, and classify them into five main categories, based on their working mechanisms or principles. With the review of these strategies, we hope to provide not only some deep insights into this field, but also and more importantly, useful thoughts in the design and fabrication of self-sorting systems in the future.

Abstract
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 1987 and 2016 for research in supramolecular chemistry on the “development and use of molecules with structure-specific interactions of high selectivity” and the “design and production of molecular machines”, respectively. This confirmed the explosive development of supramolecular chemistry. In addition, attempts have been made in systems chemistry to embody the complex functions of living organisms as artificial non-equilibrium chemical systems, which have not received much attention in supramolecular chemistry. In this review, we explain recent developments in supramolecular chemistry through four categories: stimuli-responsiveness, time evolution, dissipative self-assembly, and hierarchical expression of functions. We discuss the development of non-equilibrium supramolecular systems, including the use of molecules with precisely designed properties, to achieve functions found in life as a hierarchical chemical system.

Abstract
Organic ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (OURTP) materials having stimuli-responsive attributes have attracted great attention due to their great potential in a wide variety of advanced applications. It is of fundamental importance but challengeable to develop stimuli-responsive OURTP materials, especially such materials with modulated optoelectronic properties in a controlled manner probably due to the lack of an authentic construction approach. Here, we propose an effective strategy for OURTP materials with controllably regulated stimuli-responsive properties by engineering the resonance linkage between flexible chain and phosphor units. A quantitative parameter to demonstrate the stimuli-responsive capacity is also established by the responsivity rate constant. The designed OURTP materials demonstrate efficient photoactivated OURTP with lifetimes up to 724 ms and tunable responsivity rate constants ranging from 0.132 to 0.308 min-1 upon continuous UV irradiation. Moreover, the applications of stimuli-responsive resonance OURTP materials have been illustrated by the rewritable paper for snapshot and Morse code for multiple information encryption. Our works, which enable the accomplishment of OURTP materials capable of on-demand manipulated optical properties, demonstrate a viable design to explore smart OURTP materials, giving deep insights into the dynamically stimuli-responsive process.

Abstract
Molecular necklaces have attracted much research attention due to their unique topological structures. Although numerous molecular necklaces with exquisite structures have been constructed, it remains a major challenge to exploit the functions and applications associated with their fascinating architectural and dynamic characteristics. Herein, we report a class of mechanically interlocked networks (MINs) cross-linked by a molecular necklace, in which multiple crown ethers are threaded on a hexagonal metallacyclic framework to furnish a cross-linker with delicate interlocked structures. The molecular necklace cross-linker possesses multiple peculiar advantages: multivalent interactions and rigid metallacycle framework guarantee robust features of MINs while the motion and dissociation of the interlocked structures bring in notable mechanical adaptivity. Moreover, the MINs could respond to the stimuli of K+ and Br−, which lead to the dethreading of crown ether and even the complete decomposition of molecular necklace, respectively, showing abundant active properties. These findings demonstrate the untapped potential of molecular necklaces as cross-linkers and open the door to extend their advanced applications in intelligent supramolecular materials. Constructing cross-linked networks with different topologies is attractive but challenging. Here the authors present mechanically interlocked networks cross-linked by a molecular necklace whose peculiar architectural and dynamic features endow the materials with robust yet mechanically adaptive properties.

Abstract
Multifunctional aqueous rechargeable batteries (MARBs) are regarded as safe, cost-effective, and scalable electrochemical energy storage devices, which offer additional functionalities that conventional batteries cannot achieve, which ideally leads to unprecedented applications. Although MARBs are among the most exciting and rapidly growing topics in scientific research and industrial development nowadays, a systematic summary of the evolution and advances in the field of MARBs is still not available. Therefore, the review presented comprehensively and systematically summarizes the design principles and the recent advances of MARBs by categories of smart ARBs and integrated systems, together with an analysis of their device design and configuration, electrochemical performance, and diverse smart functions. The two most promising strategies to construct novel MARBs may be A) the introduction of functional materials into ARB components, and B) integration of ARBs with other functional devices. The ongoing challenges and future perspectives in this research and development field are outlined to foster the future development of MARBs. Finally, the most important upcoming research directions in this rapidly developing field are highlighted that may be most promising to lead to the commercialization of MARBs and to a further broadening of their range of applications.

Abstract
Electrospinning is one of the simple, versatile, and convenient techniques for producing nanofibers that have found numerous applications in the fields of biomedical engineering, surface materials, and catalysis. Despite the great achievements, the electrospinning compounds are still limited to the utilization of polymers with high molar mass which are regarded as an indispensable element for the production of nanofibers. It is found that electrospinning chemicals based on supramolecular systems can avoid the use of high molecular weight polymers, and it is emerging as a powerful route to generate fibers in the nano-scale size. The presence of strong intermolecular interactions that function as chain entanglements allows for the formation of nanofibers during the process of electrospinning. This article provides recent impressive developments concerning nanofiber preparation made by the combination of electrospinning and supramolecular chemistry, which enables easy access to tailor-made nanofibers. Electrospinning supramolecular systems consisting of phospholipids, surfactants, crown ether derivatives as well as cyclodextrins will be highlighted in this review. Moreover, we will pay particular attention to the functionalities of electrospun nanofibers obtained from supramolecular systems.

Abstract
Smart stimuli-responsive fluorescent materials are of interest in the context of sensing and imaging applications. In this project, we elaborated multidynamic fluorescent materials made of a tetraphenylethene fluorophore displaying aggregation-induced emission and short cysteine-rich C-hydrazide peptides. Specifically, we show that a hierarchical dynamic covalent self-assembly process, combining disulfide and acyl-hydrazone bond formation operating simultaneously in a one-pot reaction, yields cage compounds at low concentration (2 mM), while soluble fluorescent dynamic covalent networks and even chemically cross-linked fluorescent organogels are formed at higher concentrations. The number of cysteine residues in the peptide sequence impacts directly the mechanical properties of the resulting organogels, Young's moduli varying 2500-fold across the series. These materials underpinned by a nanofibrillar network display multidynamic responsiveness following concentration changes, chemical triggers, as well as light irradiation, all of which enable their controlled degradation with concomitant changes in spectroscopic outputs─self-assembly enhances fluorescence emission by ca. 100-fold and disassembly quenches fluorescence emission.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers not only possess many advantages of traditional polymers, but also have many unique characteristics. Supramolecular polymers can be constructed by self-assembly of various noncovalent interactions. Host-guest interaction, as one important type of noncovalent interactions, has been widely applied to construct supramolecular polymers. From the perspective of classification of the recognition system motifs, host-guest recognition motifs mainly include crown ether, cyclodextrin, calixarene, cucurbituril, and pillararene-based host-guest recognition pairs. Crown ethers, as the first-generation macrocyclic hosts, have played a very important part in the development of supramolecular chemistry. Due to the easy modification of crown ethers, various crown ether derivatives have been prepared by attaching some functional groups to the edges of crown ethers, which endowed them with some interesting properties and made them ideal candidates for the fabrication of supramolecular polymers. This review gives a review of the preparation of crown ether-based supramolecular polymers (CSPs) and summarizes crown ether-based recognition pairs, organization methods, topological structures, stimuli-responsiveness, and functional characteristics.
