Abstract
Acoustic tweezers based on travelling surface acoustic waves (TSAWs) have the potential for contactless trajectory manipulation and motion-parameter regulation of microparticles in biological and microfluidic applications. Here, we present a novel design of a tri-directional symmetrical acoustic tweezers device that enables the precise manipulation of linear, clockwise, and anticlockwise trajectories of microparticles. By switching the excitation combinations of interdigital electrodes (IDTs), various shape patterns of acoustic pressure fields can be formed to capture and steer microparticles accurately according to pre-defined trajectories. Numerical simulations and experimental tests were conducted in this study. By adjusting the input electric signals and the fluid's viscosity, the device is able to manipulate microparticles of various forms as well as brine shrimp egg cells with the accurate modulation of motion parameters. The results show that the proposed programmable design possesses low-cost, compact, non-contact, and high biocompatibility benefits, with the capacity to accurately manage microparticles in a range of motion trajectories, independent of their physical and/or chemical characteristics. Thus, our design has strong potential applications in chemical composition analysis, drug delivery, and cell assembly.

Abstract
Observations of nanoparticle superlattice formation over minutes during colloidal nanoparticle synthesis elude description by conventional understanding of self-assembly, which theorizes superlattices require extended formation times to allow for diffusively driven annealing of packing defects. It remains unclear how nanoparticle position annealing occurs on such short time scales despite the rapid superlattice growth kinetics. Here we utilize liquid phase transmission electron microscopy to directly image the self-assembly of platinum nanoparticles into close packed supraparticles over tens of seconds during nanoparticle synthesis. Electron-beam induced reduction of an aqueous platinum precursor formed monodisperse 2-3 nm platinum nanoparticles that simultaneously self-assembled over tens of seconds into 3D supraparticles, some of which showed crystalline ordered domains. Experimentally varying the interparticle interactions (e.g., electrostatic, steric interactions) by changing precursor chemistry revealed that supraparticle formation was driven by weak attractive van der Waals forces balanced by short ranged repulsive steric interactions. Growth kinetic measurements and an interparticle interaction model demonstrated that nanoparticle surface diffusion rates on the supraparticles were orders of magnitude faster than nanoparticle attachment, enabling nanoparticles to find high coordination binding sites unimpeded by incoming particles. These results reconcile rapid self-assembly of supraparticles with the conventional self-assembly paradigm in which nanocrystal position annealing by surface diffusion occurs on a significantly shorter time scale than nanocrystal attachment.

Abstract
Light energy provides an attractive fuel source for energy dissipating systems because of the lack of waste production, wavelength tunability and the potential for spatial and temporal resolution. In this work, we describe a peptide-spiropyran conjugate that assembled into a transient nanofiber hydrogel in the presence of visible light, and dissociated when the light source was removed.

Abstract
Smart polymer-based micro/nanoassemblies have emerged as a promising alternative for transporting and delivering a myriad of cargo. Cargo encapsulation into (or linked to) polymeric micro/nanocarrier (PC) strategies may help to conserve cargo activity and functionality when interacting with its surroundings in its journey to the target. PCs for cargo phototriggering allow for excellent spatiotemporal control via irradiation as an external stimulus, thus regulating the delivery kinetics of cargo and potentially increasing its therapeutic effect. Micromotors based on PCs offer an accelerated cargo-medium interaction for biomedical, environmental, and many other applications. This review collects the recent achievements in PC development based on nanomicelles, nanospheres, and nanopolymersomes, among others, with enhanced properties to increase cargo protection and cargo release efficiency triggered by ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, including light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for propulsion, cargo transport, biosensing, and photo-thermal therapy. We emphasize the challenges of positioning PCs as drug delivery systems, as well as the outstanding opportunities of light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for practical applications.

Abstract
Regulating the mutual stacking arrangements is of great interest for understanding the origin of chirality at different hierarchical levels in nature. Different from molecular level chirality, the control and manipulation of hierarchical chirality in polymer systems is limited to the use of external factors as the energetically demanding switching stimulus. Herein, the first self-assembly strategy of polymerization-induced helicity inversion (PIHI), in which the controlled packing and dynamic stereomutation of azobenzene (Azo) building blocks are realized by in situ polymerization without any external stimulus, is reported. A multiple helicity inversion and intriguing helix-helix transition of polymeric supramolecular nanofibers occurs during polymerization, which is collectively confirmed to be mediated by the transition between functionality-oriented π-π stacking, H-, and J-aggregation. The studies further reveal that helicity inversion proceeds through a delicate interplay of the thermodynamically and kinetically controlled, pathway-dependent interconversion process, which should provide new insight into the origin and handedness control of helical nanostructures with desired chirality.

Abstract
Supramolecular radical chemistry has been emerging as a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field of traditional supramolecular chemistry and radical chemistry in recent years. The purpose of such a fundamental research field is to combine traditional supramolecular chemistry and radical chemistry together, and take the benefit of both to eventually create new molecules and materials. Recently, supramolecular radical cages have been becoming one of the most frontier and challenging research focuses in the field of supramolecular chemistry. In this Perspective, we give a brief introduction to organic radical chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and the emerging supramolecular radical chemistry along with their history and application. Subsequently, we turn to the main part of this topic: supramolecular radical cages. The design and synthesis of supramolecular cages consisting of redox-active building blocks and radical centres are summarized. The host-guest interactions between supramolecular (radical) cages and organic radicals are also surveyed. Some interesting properties and applications of supramolecular radical cages such as their unique spin-spin interactions and intriguing confinement effects in radical-mediated/catalyzed reactions are comprehensively discussed and highlighted in the main text. The purpose of this Perspective is to help students and researchers understand the development of supramolecular radical cages, and potentially to stimulate innovation and creativity and infuse new energy into the fields of traditional supramolecular chemistry and radical chemistry as well as supramolecular radical chemistry.

Abstract
Soft and hard materials at interfaces exhibit mismatched behaviors, such as mismatched chemical or biochemical reactivity, mechanical response, and environmental adaptability. Leveraging or mitigating these differences can yield interfacial processes difficult to achieve, or inapplicable, in pure soft or pure hard phases. Exploration of interfacial mismatches and their associated (bio)chemical, mechanical, or other physical processes may yield numerous opportunities in both fundamental studies and applications, in a manner similar to that of semiconductor heterojunctions and their contribution to solid-state physics and the semiconductor industry over the past few decades. In this review, we explore the fundamental chemical roles and principles involved in designing these interfaces, such as the (bio)chemical evolution of adaptive or buffer zones. We discuss the spectroscopic, microscopic, (bio)chemical, and computational tools required to uncover the chemical processes in these confined or hidden soft-hard interfaces. We propose a soft-hard interaction framework and use it to discuss soft-hard interfacial processes in multiple systems and across several spatiotemporal scales, focusing on tissue-like materials and devices. We end this review by proposing several new scientific and engineering approaches to leveraging the soft-hard interfacial processes involved in biointerfacing composites and exploring new applications for these composites.

Abstract
In a typical colloidal synthesis, the molecules of the reducing agent are irreversibly oxidized during nanocrystal growth. Such a scenario is of questionable sustainability when confronted with naturally occurring processes in which reducing agent molecules are cyclically regenerated. Here we show that cofactor molecules once consumed in the nucleation and growth of metallic nanocrystals can be photoregenerated using metallic nanocrystals as photocatalysts and reused in the subsequent nucleation process. Cyclic regeneration of cofactor molecules opens up the possibilities for the sustainable synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive self-assembly of nanoparticles is a versatile approach for the bottom-up fabrication of adaptive and functional nanomaterials. For this purpose, anisotropic building blocks are of particular importance due to the unique shapes and structures that can be obtained upon self-assembly. Here, we demonstrate the photo-responsive self-assembly of plasmonic magnetic "dumbbell" Janus nanoparticles (Au-Fe3O4) via the host-guest interaction of the supramolecular host cyclodextrin and the molecular photoswitch arylazopyrazole. We developed efficient ligand exchange procedures that enable the introduction of functional ligands, respectively, to the surface of the gold or magnetite core of the dumbbell. Our results indicate that distinct nanoparticle superstructures arise in aqueous solutions if nanoparticle aggregation is crosslinker-induced or self-induced and that the reversible formation and fragmentation of the superstructures can be modulated with light.

Abstract
Self‐assembly of nanoparticles can be mediated by polymers, but has so far led almost exclusively to nanoparticle aggregates that are amorphous. Here, we employed Coulombic interactions to generate a range of composite materials from mixtures of charged nanoparticles and oppositely charged polymers. The assembly behavior of these nanoparticle/polymer composites depends on their order of addition: polymers added to nanoparticles give rise to stable aggregates, but nanoparticles added to polymers disassemble the initially formed aggregates. The amorphous aggregates were transformed into crystalline ones by transiently increasing the ionic strength of the solution. The morphology of the resulting crystals depended on the length of the polymer: short polymer chains mediated the self‐assembly of nanoparticles into strongly faceted crystals, whereas long chains led to pseudospherical nanoparticle/polymer assemblies, within which the crystalline order of nanoparticles was retained.

Abstract
The study of nanocrystal self-assembly into superlattices or superstructures is of great significance in nanoscience. Carbon nitride quantum dots (CNQDs), being a promising new group of nanomaterials, however, have hardly been explored in their self-organizing behavior. Here we report of a unique irradiation-triggered self-assembly and recrystallization phenomenon of crystalline CNQDs (c-CNQDs) terminated by abundant oxygen-containing groups. Unlike the conventional self-assembly of nanocrystals into ordered superstructures, the photoinduced self-assembly of c-CNQDs resembles a "click reaction" process of macromolecules, in which the activated -OH and -NH2 functional groups along the perimeters initiate cross-linking of adjacent QDs through a photocatalytic effect. Our findings unveil fundamental physiochemical features of CNQDs and open up new possibilities of manipulating carbon nitride nanomaterials via controlled assembly. Prospects for potential applications are discussed as well.

Abstract
Imparting porosity to inorganic nanoparticle assemblies to build up self-assembled open porous nanoparticle superstructures represents one of the most challenging issues and will reshape the property and application scope of traditional inorganic nanoparticle solids. Herein, we discovered how to engineer open pores into diverse ordered nanoparticle superstructures via their inclusion-induced assembly within 1D nanotubes, akin to the molecular host-guest complexation. The open porous structure of self-assembled composites is generated from nonclose-packing of nanoparticles in 1D confined space. Tuning the size ratios of the tube-to-nanoparticle enables the structural modulation of these porous nanoparticle superstructures, with symmetries such as C1, zigzag, C2, C4, and C5. Moreover, when the internal surface of the nanotubes is blocked by molecular additives, the nanoparticles would switch their assembly pathway and self-assemble on the external surface of the nanotubes without the formation of porous nanoparticle assemblies. We also show that the open porous nanoparticle superstructures can be ideal candidate for catalysis with accelerated reaction rates.

Abstract
The noncovalent functionalization of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) with bespoke organic molecules is of central importance for future nanoscale electronic devices. Of particular interest is the incorporation of molecular functionalities that can modulate the physicochemical properties of the 2DMs via noninvasive external stimuli. In this study, we present the reversible modulation of the photoluminescence, spectroscopic properties (Raman), and charge transport characteristics of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based devices via photoisomerization of a self-assembled monolayer of azobenzene-modified triazatriangulene molecules. The observed (opto)electronic modulations are explained by the n-type doping of the MoS2 lattice induced by the photoisomerization of the highly ordered azobenzene monolayer. This novel behavior could have profound effects on future composite 2DM-based (opto)electronics.

Abstract
Designing photo-responsive host-guest systems can provide versatile supramolecular tools for constructing smart systems and materials. We designed photo-responsive macrocyclic hosts, modulated by light-driven molecular rotary motors enabling switchable chiral guest recognition. The intramolecular cyclization of the two arms of a first-generation molecular motor with flexible oligoethylene glycol chains of different lengths resulted in crown-ether-like macrocycles with intrinsic motor function. The octaethylene glycol linkage enables the successful unidirectional rotation of molecular motors, simultaneously allowing the 1:1 host-guest interaction with ammonium salt guests. The binding affinity and stereoselectivity of the motorized macrocycle can be reversibly modulated, owing to the multi-state light-driven switching of geometry and helicity of the molecular motors. This approach provides an attractive strategy to construct stimuli-responsive host-guest systems and dynamic materials.

Abstract
In most synthetic nanoreactor systems, catalysed products do not promptly diffuse away from the nanoreactor, which leads to lower than expected catalytic efficiencies. To address the diffusion problem, transient polymer micelle nanoreactor systems were achieved using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) as the fuel and activated esters as the energy dissipating units. These demonstrated pathway-dependent catalytic properties for transient micelles: product inhibition was observed or efficiently eliminated depending on EDC reloading in the metastable stage or after full dissipation for transient micelles.

Abstract
This review covers recent progress in using single molecule fluorescence microscopy imaging to understand the nanoconfinement in porous materials. The single molecule approach unveils the static and dynamic heterogeneities from seemingly equal molecules by removing the ensemble averaging effect. Physicochemical processes including mass transport, surface adsorption/desorption, and chemical conversions within the confined space inside porous materials have been studied at nanometer spatial resolution, at the single nanopore level, with millisecond temporal resolution, and under real chemical reaction conditions. Understanding these physicochemical processes provides the ability to quantitatively measure the inhomogeneities of nanoconfinement effects from the confining properties, including morphologies, spatial arrangement, and trapping domains. Prospects and limitations of current single molecule imaging studies on nanoconfinement are also discussed.

Abstract
Molecular photoswitches triggered with red or NIR light are optimal for photomodulation of complex biological systems, including efficient penetration of the human body for therapeutic purposes ("therapeutic window"). Yet, they are rarely reported, and even more rarely functional under aqueous conditions. In this work, fluorinated azobenzenes are shown to exhibit efficient E→Z photoisomerization with red light (PSS660nm >75 % Z) upon conjugation with unsaturated substituents. Initially demonstrated for aldehyde groups, this effect was also observed in a more complex structure by incorporating the chromophore into a cyclic dipeptide with propensity for self-assembly. Under physiological conditions, the latter molecule formed a supramolecular material that reversibly changed its viscosity upon irradiation with red light. Our observation can lead to design of new photopharmacology agents or phototriggered materials for in vivo use.

Abstract
Understanding the fundamental facts behind dynamicity of catalytic processes has been a longstanding quest across disciplines. Herein, we report self-assembly of catalytically active gold nanorods that can be regulated by tuning its reactivity towards a proton transfer reaction at different pH. Unlike substrate-induced templating and co-operativity, the enhanced aggregation rate is due to alteration of catalytic surface charge only during reactivity as negatively charged transition state of reactant (5-nitrobenzisoxazole) is formed on positively charged nanorod while undergoing a concerted E2-pathway. Herein, enhanced diffusivity during catalytic processes might also act as an additional contributing factor. Furthermore, we have also shown that nanosized hydrophobic cavities of clustered nanorods can also efficiently accelerate the rate of an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction, which also demonstrates a catalytic phenomenon that can lead to cascading of other reactions where substrates and products of the starting reactions are not directly involved.

Abstract
Light-driven directional motion is common in nature but remains a challenge for synthetic microparticles, particularly regarding collective motion on a macroscopic scale. Successfully engineering microparticles with light-driven collective motion could lead to breakthroughs in drug delivery, contaminant sensing, environmental remediation, and artificial life. Herein, metal-phenolic particle microswimmers capable of autonomously sensing and swimming toward an external light source are reported, with the speed regulated by the wavelength and intensity of illumination. These microswimmers can travel macroscopic distances (centimeters) and can remain illuminated for hours without degradation of motility. Experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that motion is generated through chemical transformations of the organic component of the metal-phenolic complex. Furthermore, cargos with specific spectral absorption profiles can be loaded into the particles and endow the particle microswimmers with activated motion corresponding to these spectral characteristics. The programmable nature of the light navigation, tunable size of the particles, and versatility of cargo loading demonstrate the versatility of these metal-phenolic particle microswimmers.

Abstract
The construction of a donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct molecular layer on a gold surface is presented. To avoid the incompatibility of the thiol surface-binding group with the donor-acceptor polyene structure of the switch, an interfacial reaction approach was followed. Poly(dopamine)-supported gold nanoparticles on quartz slides were chosen as substrates, which was expected to facilitate both the interfacial reaction and the switching process by providing favorable steric conditions due to the curved particle surface. The reaction between the surface-bound donor half and the CF3-isoxazolone-based acceptor half was proved to be successful by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). However, UV-vis measurements suggested that a closed, cyclopentenone-containing structure of the switch formed on the surface irreversibly. Analysis of the wetting behavior of the surface revealed spontaneous water spreading that could be associated with conformational changes of the closed isomer.

Abstract
A recent surface rheological study has shown that aqueous solutions of α-cyclodextrin (αCD) with anionic surfactants (S) display a remarkable viscoelasticity at the liquid/air interface, which has not been observed in similar systems. The dilatational modulus is various orders of magnitude larger than those for the binary mixtures αCD + water and S + water. The rheological response has been qualitatively related to the bulk distribution of species, the 2 : 1 inclusion complexes (αCD2 : S) playing a fundamental role. In this work, we have developed a model that considers dipole-dipole interactions between 2 : 1 inclusion complexes ordered on the liquid/air interface. When the model is applied to the specific experimental conditions, the dependencies on concentration and temperature of the dilatational modulus and the surface tension were found to be in excellent agreement with the data, indicating clearly that dipole-dipole interactions determine and control the rheological behavior of the interface.

Abstract
The effect of nanoporous confinement on the glass transition temperature (Tg) strongly depends on the type of porous media. Here, we study the molecular origins of this effect in a molecular glass, N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (TPD), highly confined in concave and convex geometries. When confined in controlled pore glass (CPG) with convex pores, TPD's vibrational spectra remained unchanged and two Tg's were observed, consistent with previous studies. In contrast, when confined in silica nanoparticle packings with concave pores, the vibrational peaks were shifted due to more planar conformations and Tg increased, as the pore size was decreased. The strong Tg increases in concave pores indicate significantly slower relaxation dynamics compared to CPG. Given TPD's weak interaction with silica, these effects are entropic in nature and are due to conformational changes at molecular level. The results highlight the role of intramolecular degrees of freedom in the glass transition, which have not been extensively explored.

Abstract
Living cells exploit bistable and oscillatory behaviors as memory mechanisms, facilitating the integration of transient stimuli into sustained molecular responses that control downstream functions. Synthetic bistable networks have also been studied as memory entities, but have rarely been utilized to control orthogonal functions in coupled dynamic systems. We herein present a new cascade pathway, for which we have exploited a well-characterized switchable peptide-based replicating network, operating far from equilibrium, that yields two alternative steady-state outputs, which in turn serve as the input signals for consecutive processes that regulate various features of Au nanoparticle shape and assembly. This study further sheds light on how bridging together the fields of systems chemistry and nanotechnology may open up new opportunities for the dynamically controlled design of functional materials.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has largely spurred the development of biological systems by taking advantage of the unique chemical, physical, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties of nanostructures. Self-limiting self-assembly of supraparticles produce new nanostructures and display great potential to create biomimicking nanostructures with desired functionalities. In this minireview, we summarize the recent developments and outstanding achievements of colloidal supraparticles, such as the driving forces for self-limiting self-assembly of supraparticles and properties of constructed supraparticles. Their application values in biological systems have also been illustrated.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The ability to control the assembly of micro/nanosized particles at liquid-liquid interface with external inputs promises new opportunities in nanofabrication and biomedicines. This work aims to demonstrate a way to control of dynamic assembly of nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interface by light and magnetic field, which consequently enables the formation of dynamic emulsion droplets. EXPERIMENTS Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles functionalized with azobenzene moieties (Fe3O4@AZO) were synthesized and were dispersed in toluene/(N,N-dimethylformamide, DMF) binary solvent. After irradiation with UV or visible light, the assembly behavior of these Fe3O4 nanoparticles were evaluated by electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. FINDINGS Under UV light, Fe3O4@AZO nanoparticles were self-assembled due to the increase of dipolar interaction from the photoisomerization of azobenzene and polar molecules, DMF, were harvested from a binary solvent of DMF/toluene. While under visible light, a relief of dipolar interactions between Fe3O4@AZO nanoparticles can induce the secondary assembly of these Fe3O4@AZO nanoparticles at DMF-toluene interface, resulting in DMF droplets covered by a layer of nanoparticle superlattices. More importantly, coupled with a magnetic field, these emulsion droplets can be shaped into one dimensional ones during the interfacial assembly process, thereby giving rise to dynamic emulsions controlled by light and magnetic field.

Abstract
Introducing responsive elements into supramolecular recognition systems offers great advantages for the control of intermolecular interactions and represents an important stepping stone towards multi-purpose and reprogrammable synthetic systems. Of particular interest is implementation of light-responsiveness because of the unique ease and precision of this signal. Here we present visible light responsive hemithioindigo-based molecular tweezers that bear a highly polar sulfoxide function as an additional recognition unit inside their binding site. Sulfur oxidation allows to simultaneously enhance all crucial properties of this receptor type i.e. photoswitching capability, thermal stability of individual switching states, binding affinity, and binding modulation upon switching. With a novel titration method the thermodynamic binding parameters were determined using reduced sample amounts. Employing these strongly enhanced molecular tweezers allowed to demonstrate photocontrol of intermolecular charge transfer in a reversible manner. Hemithioindigo based molecular tweezers with a comprehensively improved property profile are obtained by simple oxidation of the sulfur atom.![]()

Abstract
Next-generation catalysts are urgently needed to tackle the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Existing antimicrobials cannot function in the complex and stressful chemical conditions found in biofilms, and as a result, they are unable to infiltrate, diffuse into, and eradicate the biofilm and its associated matrix. Here, we introduce mixed-FeCo-oxide-based surface-textured nanostructures (MTex) as highly efficient magneto-catalytic platforms. These systems can produce defensive ROS over a broad pH range and can effectively diffuse into the biofilm and kill the embedded bacteria. Because the nanostructures are magnetic, biofilm debris can be scraped out of the microchannels. The key antifouling efficacy of MTex originates from the unique surface topography that resembles that of a ploughed field. These are captured as stable textured intermediates during the oxidative annealing and solid-state conversion of β-FeOOH nanocrystals. These nanoscale surfaces will advance progress toward developing a broad array of new enzyme-like properties at the nanobio interface.

Abstract
In this review article, various methods for the light-induced manipulation of plasmonic nanoobjects are described, and some sample applications of this process are presented. The methods of the photo-induced nanomanipulation analyzed include methods based on: the light-induced isomerization of some compounds attached to the surface of the manipulated object causing formation of electrostatic, host-guest or covalent bonds or other structural changes, the photo-response of a thermo-responsive material attached to the surface of the manipulated nanoparticles, and the photo-catalytic process enhanced by the coupled plasmons in manipulated nanoobjects. Sample applications of the process of the photo-aggregation of plasmonic nanosystems are also presented, including applications in surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopies, catalysis, chemical analysis, biomedicine, and more. A detailed comparative analysis of the methods that have been applied so far for the light-induced manipulation of nanostructures may be useful for researchers planning to enter this fascinating field.

Abstract
Liquid droplets have been studied for decades and have recently experienced renewed attention as a simplified model for numerous fascinating physical phenomena occurring on size scales from the cell nucleus to stellar black holes. Here, we present an acoustofluidic centrifugation technique that leverages an entanglement of acoustic wave actuation and the spin of a fluidic droplet to enable nanoparticle enrichment and separation. By combining acoustic streaming and droplet spinning, rapid (<1 min) nanoparticle concentration and size-based separation are achieved with a resolution sufficient to identify and isolate exosome subpopulations. The underlying physical mechanisms have been characterized both numerically and experimentally, and the ability to process biological samples (including DNA segments and exosome subpopulations) has been successfully demonstrated. Together, this acoustofluidic centrifuge overcomes existing limitations in the manipulation of nanoscale (<100 nm) bioparticles and can be valuable for various applications in the fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, material science, and medicine.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) self-assembly has led to the fabrication of an array of functional nanoscale systems, having diverse architectures and functionalities. In this perspective, we discuss the design and application of NP suprastructures (SPs) characterized by nanoconfined compartments in their self-assembled framework, providing an overview about SP synthetic strategies reported to date and the role of their confined nanocavities in applications in several high-end fields. We also set to give our contribution towards the formation of more advanced nanocompartmentalized SPs able to work in dynamic manners, discussing the opportunities of further advances in NP self-assembly and SP research.

Abstract
The many useful features possessed by pillararenes (PAs; e.g. rigid, capacious, and hydrophobic cavities, as well as exposed functional groups) have led to a tremendous increase in their popularity since their first discovery in 2008. In this Minireview, we emphasize the use of functionalized PAs and their assembled supramolecular materials in the field of catalysis. We aim to provide a fundamental understanding and mechanism of the role PAs play in catalytic process. The topics are subdivided into catalysis promoted by the PA rim/cavity, PA-based nanomaterials, and PA-based polymeric materials. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first overview on PA-based catalysis. This Minireview not only summarizes the fabrications and applications of PAs in catalysis but also anticipates future research efforts in applying supramolecular hosts in catalysis.

Abstract
How to control the self-assembly of complex molecular systems is unknown. Yet, these complex molecular systems are fundamental for advances in material and biomedical sciences. A step forward is to transform one-step self-assembly into multistep synthesis involving covalent and noncovalent reactions. Key to this approach is to explore the chemical space at the frontiers of advanced covalent synthesis and supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we describe a selection of such reported cases and provide a guide for current limitations and insights for future directions. This outlook is meant to trigger collaborations between synthetic organic and supramolecular chemists, to expand the repertoire of organic syntheses working with supramolecular assemblies and thereby join forces to achieve stepwise emergence of molecular complexity in supramolecular systems.

Abstract
![]()
In nature, light is harvested by photoactive proteins to drive
a range of biological processes, including photosynthesis, phototaxis,
vision, and ultimately life. Bacteriorhodopsin, for example, is a
protein embedded within archaeal cell membranes that binds the chromophore
retinal within its hydrophobic pocket. Exposure to light triggers
regioselective photoisomerization of the confined retinal, which in
turn initiates a cascade of conformational changes within the protein,
triggering proton flux against the concentration gradient, providing
the microorganisms with the energy to live. We are inspired by these
functions in nature to harness light energy using synthetic photoswitches
under confinement. Like retinal, synthetic photoswitches require some
degree of conformational flexibility to isomerize. In nature, the
conformational change associated with retinal isomerization is accommodated
by the structural flexibility of the opsin host, yet it results in
steric communication between the chromophore and the protein. Similarly,
we strive to design systems wherein isomerization of confined photoswitches
results in steric communication between a photoswitch and its confining
environment. To achieve this aim, a balance must be struck between
molecular crowding and conformational freedom under confinement: too
much crowding prevents switching, whereas too much freedom resembles
switching of isolated molecules in solution, preventing communication. In this Account, we discuss five classes of synthetic light-switchable
compounds—diarylethenes, anthracenes, azobenzenes, spiropyrans,
and donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts—comparing their
behaviors under confinement and in solution. The environments employed
to confine these photoswitches are diverse, ranging from planar surfaces
to nanosized cavities within coordination cages, nanoporous frameworks,
and nanoparticle aggregates. The trends that emerge are primarily
dependent on the nature of the photoswitch and not on the material
used for confinement. In general, we find that photoswitches requiring
less conformational freedom for switching are, as expected, more straightforward
to isomerize reversibly under confinement. Because these compounds
undergo only small structural changes upon isomerization, however,
switching does not propagate into communication with their environment.
Conversely, photoswitches that require more conformational freedom
are more challenging to switch under confinement but also can influence
system-wide behavior. Although we are primarily interested in
the effects of geometric
constraints on photoswitching under confinement, additional effects
inevitably emerge when a compound is removed from solution and placed
within a new, more crowded environment. For instance, we have found
that compounds that convert to zwitterionic isomers upon light irradiation
often experience stabilization of these forms under confinement. This
effect results from the mutual stabilization of zwitterions that are
brought into close proximity on surfaces or within cavities. Furthermore,
photoswitches can experience preorganization under confinement, influencing
the selectivity and efficiency of their photoreactions. Because intermolecular
interactions arising from confinement cannot be considered independently
from the effects of geometric constraints, we describe all confinement
effects concurrently throughout this Account.

Abstract
Chiral nanomaterial-based biomimetic catalysts can trigger a similar biological effect to natural catalysts and exhibit high performance in biological applications. Especially, their active center similarity and substrate selectivity promoted their superior biocatalytic activity. Here, modification of critical elements, such as size, morphology, nanocrystal facets, chiral surface and active sites, for controlling the catalytic efficiency of individual chiral nanoparticles (NPs) and chiral nanoassemblies has been demonstrated, which had a synergistic effect on overcoming the defects of pre-existing nanocatalysts. Noticeably, application of external forces (light or magnetism) has resulted in obvious enhancement in biocatalytic efficiency. Chiral nanomaterials served as preferable biomimetic nanocatalysts due to their special structural configuration and chemical constitution advantages. Furthermore, the current challenges and future research directions of the preparation of high-performance bioinspired chiral nanomaterials for biological applications are discussed. Chiral nanomaterial-based biomimetic catalysts can trigger a similar biological effect to natural catalysts and exhibit high performance in biological applications.![]()

Abstract
Intensive research on chiral liquid crystals (LCs) has been fueled by their actively tunable physicochemical properties and structural complexity, comparable to those of sophisticated natural materials. Herein, recent progress in the discovery of new classes of chiral LCs, enabled by a combination of nano- and macroscale investigations is reviewed. First, an overview is provided of liquid crystalline phases, made of chiral and achiral low-weight molecules, that exhibit chiral structure and/or chiral morphology. Then, recent progress in the discovery of new classes of chiral LCs, particularly enabled by the application of resonant X-ray scattering is described. It is shown that the method is sensitive to modulations of molecular orientation and therefore provides information hardly accessible by means of other techniques, such as the sense of helical structures or chirality transfer across length scales. Finally, a perspective is presented on the future scope, opportunities, and challenges in the field of chiral LCs, in particular related to nanocomposites.

Abstract
Nature adopts complex chemical networks to finely tune biochemical processes. Indeed, small biomolecules play a key role in regulating the flux of metabolic pathways. Chemistry, which was traditionally focused on reactions in simple mixtures, is dedicating increasing attention to the network reactivity of highly complex synthetic systems, able to display new kinetic phenomena. Herein, we show that the addition of monophosphate nucleosides to a mixture of amphiphiles and reagents leads to the selective templated formation of self-assembled structures, which can accelerate a reaction between two hydrophobic reactants. The correct matching between nucleotide and the amphiphile head group is fundamental for the selective formation of the assemblies and for the consequent up-regulation of the chemical reaction. Transient stability of the nanoreactors is obtained under dissipative conditions, driven by enzymatic dephosphorylation of the templating nucleotides. These results show that small molecules can play a key role in modulating network reactivity, by selectively templating self-assembled structures that are able to up-regulate chemical reaction pathways.
