Abstract
Discrete metallosupramolecular systems are often macrocyclic or cage-like architectures with an accessible internal cavity. Guest molecules can reside within these cavities and much of the interest in these systems is derived from these fascinating host-guest interactions. A range of potential applications stem from the ability of these metallosupramolecular architectures to encapsulate guests. These applications include catalysis or acting as molecular reaction flasks, the molecular scavenging of pollutants, storage of reactive species, and drug delivery. Multicavity metallosupramolecular architectures combine the ability of large hollow assemblies to bind multiple guests concurrently with the binding specificity associated with small cages. A variety of different approaches to generating separate compartments within a single metallosupramolecular assembly have emerged. These include interpenetrated cages, cages with polytopic ligands that have a long backbone, and molecules that have two or more clefts. This review examines these approaches, and highlights key contributions to the field.

Abstract
A six level molecular switch based on terpyridine(Ni-salphen)2 tweezers and addressable by three orthogonal stimuli (metal coordination, redox reaction, and guest binding) is reported. By a metal coordination stimulus, the tweezers can be mechanically switched from an open "W"-shaped conformation to a closed "U"-shaped form. Theses two states can each be reversibly oxidized by the redox stimulus and bind to a pyrazine guest resulting in four additional states. All six states are stable and accessible by the right combination of stimuli and were studied by NMR, XRD, EPR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. The combination of the supramolecular concepts of mechanical motion and guest binding with the redox noninnocent and valence tautomerism properties of Ni-salphen complexes added two new dimensions to a mechanical switch.

Abstract
The design of responsive nanosensors typically relies on the availability of probes capable of capturing their target with high affinity and specificity. This can be achieved by coupling two or more binding units through a linker. In this work, we study the dependence on the binder architecture of the binding affinity between a target molecule and a semirigid bidentate binder. Using two different binder architectures, central-rigid and extreme-rigid, and modifying the length and the flexibility degree of the linker we generated 153 different architectures. We computed their dissociation free energies by means of Monte Carlo simulations and thermodynamic integration. We found that central-rigid bidentate binders are a poor choice, as they dissociate more easily than analogous fully flexible bidentate binders. On the other hand, molecular architectures presenting extreme-rigid units were shown effective for a wide range of set-ups.

Abstract
The ability of three bis-viologen cyclophanes to act as redox-triggered contractile switches is investigated. Odd/even effects in the formation of cyclic bis-viologens are circumvented by the use of a Zincke salt intermediate and a tetrathiafulvalene template to prepare a flexible cyclophane with hexyl linkers. Comparative spectro-electrochemical studies of this macrocycle with two other pentyl- or heptyl-linked cyclic bis-viologens show that the development of intramolecular interactions in aqueous solution depends on the length of the bridges. This dependence is confirmed by EPR and DFT studies of the magnetic coupling in the diradical dication species. The anti-ferromagnetic or ferromagnetic nature of the coupling depend, respectively, on the odd or even number of methylene groups in the spacer.

Abstract
A pH-sensitive molecular switch able to change its conformation upon protonation at endosomal pH values is embedded into the structure of cationic lipidoid materials, thus conferring endosomal escape properties. Involvement of the conformational switch in the endosomal escape process was confirmed and leading material identified was able to induce efficient gene knockdown both in vitro and in vivo. The lipid nanoparticles reported here are promising for therapeutic applications and this work could serve as a template for future design of stimulus-responsive (ionic, redox, light) molecular switch for drug and gene delivery.

Abstract
We report the use of switchable lipids to improve the endosomal escape and cytosolic delivery of cell-impermeable compounds. The system is based on a conformational reorganization of the lipid structure upon acidification, as demonstrated by NMR spectroscopic studies. When incorporated in a liposome formulation, the switchable lipids triggered bilayer destabilization through fusion even in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol). We observed 88 % release of sulforhodamine B in 15 min at pH 5, and the liposome formulations demonstrated high stability at pH 7.4 for several months. By using sulforhodamine B as a model of a highly polar drug, we demonstrated fast cytosolic delivery mediated by endosomal escape in HeLa cells, and no toxicity.

Abstract
Molecular tweezers incorporating peripheral platinum salphen complexes and a central chelating terpyridine group have been synthesized. The terpyridine can be switched upon metal binding between a free 'W' shaped form and a coordinated 'U' form. The crystallographic structure of the zinc-closed molecular tweezers was obtained and presented a strong π-stacking between the Pt-salphen units associated with a Pt-Pt bond. The luminescence properties, notably in response to selected guest ions (Zn(2+), Pb(2+), Hg(2+)) and the resulting mechanical motion, have been investigated by UV-Vis and emission spectroscopy. While ion coordination to the terpy resulted in no significant changes in the luminescence, a selective intercalation of a second Hg(2+) associated with a large differential quenching was observed.

Abstract
Glycoluril-based molecular clips incorporating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) sidewalls have been synthesized through different strategies with the aim of investigating the effect of electrochemical and spatial properties for binding neutral accepting guests. We have in particular focused our study on the spacer extension in order to tune the intramolecular TTF···TTF distance within the clip and, consequently, the redox behavior of the receptor. Carried out at different concentrations in solution, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical experiments provide evidence of mixed-valence and/or π-dimer intermolecular interactions between TTF units from two closed clips. The stepwise oxidation of each molecular clip involves an electrochemical mechanism with three one-electron processes and two charge-coupled chemical reactions, a scheme which is supported by electrochemical simulations. The fine-tunable π-donating ability of the TTF units and the cavity size allow to control binding interaction towards a strong electron acceptor such as tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) or a weaker electron acceptor such as 1,3-dinitrobenzene (m-DNB).

Abstract
The ability to modify the structure of nanoscopic assemblies in a controlled fashion is an important prerequisite for the creation of functional supramolecular systems. Here, we describe a heterometallic Pt2Cu2-macrocycle which behaves as a molecular hinge. A square-planar Pt(ii) complex with pendent 2-formylpyridine groups was synthesized and structurally characterized. Condensation of the complex with benzylamine followed by reaction with Cu(MeCN)4BF4 resulted in the formation of a rectangular Pt2Cu2-macrocycle. Upon chemical oxidation of the Cu centers, the macrocycle folds up to adopt a butterfly-like geometry in which the Pt centers approach each other. This process can be reversed by chemical reduction.

Abstract
The realization of artificial molecular motors capable of converting energy into mechanical work is a fascinating challenge of nanotechnology and requires reactive systems that can operate away from chemical equilibrium. This article describes the design and construction of a simple, supramolecular ensemble in which light irradiation causes the directional transit of a macrocycle along a nonsymmetric molecular axle, thus forming the basis for the development of artificial molecular pumps.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of switchable molecular tweezers based on a luminescent terpy(Pt-salphen)2 (1; terpy=terpyridine) complex is reported. Upon metal coordination, the tweezers can switch from an open "W"-shaped conformation to a closed "U"-shaped form that is adapted for selective recognition of cations. Closing of the tweezers by metal coordination (M=Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Pb(2+), Fe(2+), Hg(2+)) was monitored by (1)H NMR and/or UV/Vis titrations. During the titration, exclusive formation of the 1:1 complex [M(1)] was observed, without appearance of an intermediate 1:2 complex [M(1)2]. The crystallographic structure of the 1:1 complex was obtained with Pb(2+) and showed a distorted helical structure. Selective intercalation of Hg(2+) cations by the closed "U" form was observed. The tweezers were reopened by selective metal decoordination of the terpyridine ligand by using tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) as a competitive ligand without modification of the Pt-salphen complex. Detailed photophysical studies were performed on the open and closed tweezers. Structured emission was observed in the open form from the Pt-salphen moieties, with a high quantum yield and a long lifetime. The emission is slightly modified upon closing with 1 equivalent of Zn(2+) or Hg(2+), whereas a dramatic quenching was obtained upon intercalation of additional Hg(2+).

Abstract
pH-responsive molecular tweezers have been proposed as an approach for targeting drug-delivery to tumors, which tend to have a lower pH than normal cells. We performed a computational study of a pH-responsive molecular tweezer using ab initio quantum chemistry in the gas-phase and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in solution. The binding free energy in solution was calculated using steered MD. We observe, in atomistic detail, the pH-induced conformational switch of the tweezer and the resulting release of the drug molecule. Even when the tweezer opens, the drug molecule remains near a hydrophobic arm of the molecular tweezer. Drug release cannot occur, it seems, unless the tweezer is in a hydrophobic environment with low pH.

Abstract
4,6-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-alkylpyrimidines with two anthryl or 9-ethylnylanthryl substituents at the positions para to the OH groups prefer a U-shaped conformation supported by two intramolecular OH⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bonds in the solid state and in CDCl3 solution. The compound with a hexyl substituent on the pyrimidine group and two 9-ethynylanthryl arms at the hydroxyphenyl groups forms a 1:1 complex with 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone. Its association constant K(a) was estimated to be 2100 M(-1) at 298 K, which is larger than those of other molecular tweezers (K(a) < 1000 M(-1)). DFT calculations suggested that the complex adopts a stable conformation supported by intramolecular hydrogen bonds among the OH groups and the pyrimidine ring as well as by intermolecular π-π interaction between the anthryl groups and 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone. Addition of nBu4NF to a solution of the molecular tweezers or their complexes causes the cleavage of one or two OH⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bonds, formation of new O⋅⋅⋅HF hydrogen bonds, and changes in the molecular conformation. The resulting structure of the molecular tweezers contains nonparallel anthryl groups, which do not bind the guest molecule. Photochemical measurements on 4,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylpyrimidine with two anthryl substituents showed negligible luminescence (quantum yield ϕ<0.01), owing to photoinduced electron transfer of the molecule with a U-shaped structure. However, the O-hexylated compound exhibits emission from the anthryl groups with ϕ=0.39.

Abstract
Acetylcholine-binding protein is a water-soluble homologue of the extracellular ligand-binding domain of cys-loop receptors. It is used as a structurally accessible prototype for studying ligand binding to these pharmaceutically important pentameric ion channels, in particular to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, due to conserved binding site residues present at the interface between two subunits. Here we report that an aromatic conjugated small molecule binds acetylcholine-binding protein in an ordered π-π stack of three identical molecules per binding site, two parallel and one antiparallel. Acetylcholine-binding protein stabilizes the assembly of the stack by aromatic contacts. Thanks to the plasticity of its ligand-binding site, acetylcholine-binding protein can accommodate the formation of aromatic stacks of different size by simple loop repositioning and minimal adjustment of the interactions. This type of supramolecular binding provides a novel paradigm in drug design.

Abstract
The self-assembly features of the bis-pyrene methyl amide functionalized pyridine and benzene "tweezers" 1 and 2 were studied in organic solution and in the solid state. These systems were found to display remarkably different self-association features and optical properties, which was rationalized by control experiments using compounds bearing pyrenemethyl esters, alkyl groups, or a single pyrene substituent (3-6). As dilute solutions in chloroform, tweezers 1 displays both pyrene monomer and excimer emission features reflecting intramolecular contacts between the pyrene subunits. At higher concentrations in chloroform, as well as in the solid state, tweezers 1 self-assembles to form a linear supramolecular polymer. In contrast, tweezers 2 does not interact in an intermolecular fashion and photoexcitation produces emission features characteristic of a pyrene monomer. DFT (density functional theory) and TDDFT (time dependent density functional theory) calculations revealed that the lowest vertical transitions are forbidden and that S1 of 1 is an emissive state. In contrast to 1 and 2, both pyrene-free control systems 5 and 6 were found to form linearly self-assembled supramolecular arrays in the solid state, albeit of differing structure. Upon exposure to trinitrobenzene (TNB), the self-assembled structures formed from 1 undergo deaggregation to form TNB complexes. This change is reflected in both an easily discernible color change and a quenching of the fluorescence emission intensity. Changes in the optical features were also seen in the case of 2. However, notable differences between these two ostensibly similar systems were seen.

Abstract
The process of learning by doing has fueled supramolecular chemistry and, more specifically, the understanding of noncovalent aromatic interactions in synthetic and natural systems. The preparation of new host molecules and the investigation of their complexations have produced many insights into significant noncovalent binding mechanisms. In this Account, we attempt to discuss significant binding contributions involving aromatic units and their practical applications. We use typical examples from our group and the literature, but this Account is not a comprehensive view of the field. Other than systems with saturated frameworks, host compounds based on arenes offer better controlled conformations and active interactions with many guest molecules. Because of their fluorescent properties, larger aryl systems are particularly suitable for sensors. The noncovalent interactions observed with different supramolecular complexes can be compared and exploited for interactions with biopolymers such as nucleic acids. Complexes formed with cyclophanes have been a constant source of inspiration for understanding noncovalent forces and their use for the design of functional supramolecular systems. Other than cyclodextrins or ionophores, which occur in nature, arene-based macrocycles are synthetic and provide more opportunities for structural variations than other macrocycles. These derivatives allow researchers to study and to exploit an unusually broad variety of binding mechanisms in both aqueous and organic media. Systematic analyses of complexes with different substituents and structures in solution, based also on flat aromatic systems such as porphyrins, can lead to a consistent picture of the noncovalent forces that dominate in these systems. These studies have elucidated attractive interactions between many heteroatoms and π systems including cyclopropanes . Through systematic analysis of the equilibrium measurements one can derive binding free energy increments for different interactions. The increments are usually additive and provide predictive tools for the design of new supramolecular systems, benchmarks for computational approaches, and an aid for drug design. In aqueous media, the major noncovalent forces between different aryl systems or between arenes and heteroatoms of larger polarizibility are dispersive, and hydrophobic forces play a minor role. In several examples, we show that electrostatic forces also contribute significantly if donor and acceptor groups show complimentarity. In early investigations, researchers found cation-π and, to a lesser degree, anion-π interactions with several cyclophanes in systems where the host or the guest molecules bear charges in an orientation that facilitates contact between charged and aryl portions of the molecules. In supramolecular complexes, hydrogen bonding effects are usually only visible in apolar media, but very strong acceptors such as phenolate anions can also work in water. To facilitate potential applications, researchers have primarily developed water-soluble, arene-containing receptors through the implementation of permanent charges. Supramolecular complexes that mimic enzymes can also rely on aryl interactions. Examples in this Account illustrate that the conformation of host-guest complexes may differ significantly between the solid and solution state, and suitable spectroscopic methods are needed to observe and control these conformations.
