Abstract
The charge-transfer (CT) interactions between organic compounds are reflected in the (opto)electronic properties. Determining and visualizing crystal structures of CT complexes are essential for the design of functional materials with desirable properties. Complexes of pyranine (PYR), methyl viologen (MV), and their derivatives are the most studied water-based CT complexes. Nevertheless, very few crystal structures of CT complexes have been reported so far. In this study, the structures of two PYRs-MVs CT crystals and a map of the noncovalent interactions using 3D electron diffraction (3DED) are reported. Physical properties, e.g., band structure, conductivity, and electronic spectra of the CT complexes and their crystals are investigated and compared with a range of methods, including solid and liquid state spectroscopies and highly accurate quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The combination of 3DED, spectroscopy, and DFT calculation can provide important insight into the structure-property relationship of crystalline CT materials, especially for submicrometer-sized crystals.

Abstract
Soft robotic system, a new era of material science, is rapidly developing with advanced processing technology in soft matters, featured with biomimetic nature. An important bottom-up approach is through the implementation of molecular machines into polymeric materials, however, the synchronized molecular motions, acumination of strain across multiple length-scales, and amplification into macroscopic actuations remained highly challenging. This review presents the significances, key design strategies, and outlook of the hierarchical supramolecular systems of molecular machines to develop novel types of supramolecular-based soft robotic systems.

Abstract
In the search for materials with enhanced near-infrared (NIR) photothermal properties and capability of providing environment-sensitive therapy, a method that combines isolated components into one nanocomposite is developed. The technique simultaneously involves redox, charge-transfer formation, and ionic complexation. During the polyoxophosphomolybdate (PMo) cluster mixing with biosafe chromogen 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), the reduced state (rPMo) and the oxidized TMB in the state of charge-transfer complex (cTMB) emerge spontaneously. The two reduced and oxidized components with charges form a stable ionic complex that resists physiology, saline, broad pH, and elevated temperature. Both the rPMo and cTMB contribute to the total sustainable photothermal conversion efficiency of 48.4% in the NIR-II region. The ionic complex exhibits biocompatibility in in vitro cell viability evaluation and is demonstrated to enter tumor cells with sustained photothermal property and complexation stability. Due to the local acidity that triggers further interaction among rPMo clusters, a distinct accumulation of the ionic complex at the tumor position is observed after caudal vein injection. Moreover, a remarkable local NIR-II photothermal image appears. The diminishment of tumor in mice with maintained body weight demonstrates the comprehensive effect of this NIR-II photothermal therapeutic material.

Abstract
A new class of alkynylplatinum(II) bzimpy (bzimpy = bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine) double complex salts (DCSs) containing dialkoxynaphthalene or pyromellitic diimide moieties on the alkynyl ligand has been reported to display distinct morphological properties compared to their precursor alkynylplatinum(II) complexes, with the capability of being aligned by the directional Pt···Pt and/or π-π stacking interactions. The incorporation of donor and acceptor units on the alkynyl ligands has been found to significantly perturb the alignment of the oppositely charged complex ions in the DCSs to stack in a twisted head-to-head manner, attributed to the additional driving forces of electrostatic and donor-acceptor interactions. The modulation of the Pt···Pt distances and the extent of aggregate formation have been demonstrated by altering the charge matching between the platinum(II) bzimpy moieties and the donor or acceptor moieties on the alkynyl ligand.

Abstract
Improved oil recovery (IOR) includes enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and other technologies (i.e. fracturing, water injection optimization, etc.), have become important methods to increase the oil/gas production in petroleum industry. However, conventional flooding systems always encounter the problems of low efficiency, high cost and complicated synthetic procedures for harsh reservoirs conditions. In recent decades, the supramolecular interactions are introduced into IOR processes to simplify the synthetic procedures, alter their structures and properties with bespoke functionalities and responsiveness suitable for different conditions. Herein, we primarily review the fundamentals of several supramolecular interactions, including hydrophobic association, hydrogen bond, electrostatic interaction, host-guest recognition, metal-ligand coordination and dynamic covalent bond from intrinsic principles and extrinsic functions. Then, the descriptions of supramolecular interactions in IOR processes from categories and advances are focused on the following variables: polymer, surfactant, surfactant/polymer (SP) complex for EOR and viscoelasticity surfactant (VES) for clean hydraulic fracturing aspects. Finally, the field applications, challenges and prospects for supramolecular interactions in IOR processes are involved and systematically addressed. The development of supramolecular interactions can open the way toward adaptive and evolutive IOR technology, a further step towards the cost-effective production of petroleum industry.

Abstract
Charge transfer (CT) interactions have been widely used to construct supramolecular systems, such as functional nanostructures and gels. However, to date, there is no report on the generation of CT complexes at the liquid-liquid interface. Here, by using an electron-deficient acceptor dissolved in water and an electron-rich donor dissolved in oil, we present the in situ formation and assembly of CT complex surfactants (CTCSs) at the oil-water interface. With time, CTCSs can assemble into higher-order nanofilms with exceptional mechanical properties, allowing the stabilization of liquids and offering the possibility to structure liquids into nonequilibrium shapes. Moreover, due to the redox-responsiveness of the electron-deficient acceptor, the association and dissociation of CTCSs can be reversibly manipulated in a redox process, leading to the switchable assembly and disassembly of the resultant constructs.

Abstract
Supramolecular host-guest chemistry bridging the adjustable amphiphilicity and macromolecular self-assembly is well advanced in aqueous media. However, the interfacial self-assembled behaviors have not been further exploited. Herein, we designed a β-cyclodextrin-grafted alginate/azobenzene-functionalized dodecyl (Alg-β-CD/AzoC12) supra-amphiphilic system that possessed tunable amphiphilicity by host-guest interfacial self-assembly. Especially, supra-amphiphilic aggregates could be utilized as highly efficient soft colloidal emulsifiers for stabilizing water-in-oil-water (W/O/W) Pickering emulsions due to the excellent interfacial activity. Meanwhile, the assembled particle structures could be modulated by adjusting the oil-water ratio, resulting from the tunable aggregation behavior of supra-amphiphilic macromolecules. Additionally, the interfacial adsorption films could be partially destroyed/reconstructed upon ultraviolet/visible irradiation due to the stimuli-altering balance of amphiphilicity of Alg-β-CD/AzoC12 polymers, further constructing the stimulus-responsive Pickering emulsions. Therefore, the supramolecular interfacial self-assembly-mediated approach not only technologically advances the continued development of creative templates to construct multifunctional soft materials with anisotropic structures but also serves as a creative bridge between supramolecular host-guest chemistry, colloidal interface science, and soft material technology.

Abstract
Supramolecular copolymers are an emerging class of materials, which bring together different properties and functionalities of multiple components via noncovalent interactions. While it is widely acknowledged that the repeating unit sequence plays an essential role on the performance of these materials, mastering and tuning the supramolecular copolymer sequence is still an open challenge. To date, only statistical supramolecular copolymers have been reported using cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates as building blocks. To enrich the diversity of tubular supramolecular copolymers, we report here a strategy of controlling their sequences by introducing an extra complementary noncovalent interaction. Hence, two conjugates bearing one electron donor and one electron acceptor, respectively, are designed. The two conjugates can individually assemble into tubular supramolecular homopolymers driven by the multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between cyclic peptides. However, the complementary charge transfer interaction between the electron donor and acceptor makes each conjugate more favorable for complexing with its counterpart, resulting in an alternating sequence of the supramolecular copolymer. Following the same principle, more functional supramolecular alternating copolymers are expected to be designed and constructed via other complementary noncovalent interactions (electrostatic interactions, metal coordination interactions, and host-guest interactions, etc.).

Abstract
There is very limited repertoire of organic ambipolar semiconductors to date. Electron donor-acceptor alternative stacking is a unique and important binary motif for 1D mixed-stack cocrystals, opening up possibilities for the development of organic ambipolar semiconductors. Herein, four 1D mixed-stack cocrystals using N,N'-bis(perfluorobutyl)-1,7-dicyanoperylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDICNF) as the acceptor and anthracene, pyrene, perylene, and meso-diphenyl tetrathia[22]annulene[2,1,2,1] (DPTTA) as the donors are achieved in a stoichiometric ratio (D:A = 1:1) through solution or vapor processed methods. Their packing structures, energy levels, charge transfer interactions, coassembling behaviors, and molecular orientations are systematically investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis, absorption spectra, fluorescence quenching, Job's curve plot, and polarized photoluminescence measurements with the help of theoretical calculations. The donor-acceptor alternative stacking direction coincides with the long axis for all the four cocrystals. The field-effect transistors based on Pyrene-PDICNF show the electron mobility up to 0.19 cm2 V-1 s-1 , which is the highest value among perylene diimide-based cocrystals. Moreover, DPTTA-PDICNF cocrystals possess well-balanced electron and hole mobility with 1.7 × 10-2 and 2.0 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 respectively due to both hole and electron strong superexchange interactions, shedding light on the design of 1D mixed-stack cocrystals with excellent ambipolar transport behaviors.

Abstract
Understanding the role of non-covalent interactions that dictate and fine-tune the direction of self-assembly of functional molecules is crucial for developing stimuli responsive materials. Herein, we systematically designed and synthesized viologen derivatives with hydrophobic dodecyl chains and alkyl carboxylic acid functionalities. The complementary electronic and electrostatic counterpart of viologens was chosen as pyranine. Viologens comprising of a hydrophobic dodecyl chain on one terminal and hydrogen bonding alkyl carboxylic acid on the other (V1 and V2) underwent aggregation to a varying extent upon interaction with pyranine. The length of the alkyl carboxylic acid had a greater impact on the nature and morphology of the aggregates. Control molecules (V3 and V4) in which 4,4'-bipyridine was symmetrically quaternized with alkyl carboxylic acids did not aggregate upon interaction with pyranine. The delicate balance existing between the hydrophobicity of the dodecyl chains and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between the alkyl carboxylic acid groups in V1 or V2 of the corresponding charge transfer (CT) complexes was instrumental in driving the aggregation. The CT aggregates of [V1-Pyr] and [V2-Pyr] exhibited excellent stability in water which disaggregated at physiological pH. We emphasize on the importance of synergy between hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions in reinforcing each other to drive the supramolecular aggregation of the CT complexes. Such pH dependent CT aggregates are of importance as scaffolds in pH controlled drug release. In the present study, the CT aggregates were evaluated for adenosine nucleotide recognition in water; [V1-Pyr] and [V2-Pyr] exhibited selective response towards adenosine monophosphate via deprotonation induced dissolution of aggregates in water leading to emission enhancement.

Transient dormant monomer states for supramolecular polymers with low dispersity. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3967.

Abstract
Temporally controlled cooperative and living supramolecular polymerization by the buffered release of monomers has been recently introduced as an important concept towards obtaining monodisperse and multicomponent self-assembled materials. In synthetic, dynamic supramolecular polymers, this requires efficient design strategies for the dormant, inactive states of the monomers to kinetically retard the otherwise spontaneous nucleation process. However, a generalized design principle for the dormant monomer states to expand the scope of precision supramolecular polymers has not been established yet, due to the enormous differences in the mechanism, energetic parameters of self-assembly and monomer exchange dynamics of the diverse class of supramolecular polymers. Here we report the concept of transient dormant states of monomers generated by redox reactions as a predictive general design to achieve monodisperse supramolecular polymers of electronically active, chromophoric or donor-acceptor, monomers. The concept has been demonstrated with charge-transfer supramolecular polymers with an alternating donor-acceptor sequence. Monodisperse and well-defined self-assembled materials can be obtained by fuel-driven temporally controlled supramolecular polymerization via the buffered release of monomers. Here the authors show that a redox-responsive transient dormant state of monomer generated by redox reaction can lead to supramolecular polymers with low dispersity.

Abstract
The bottom-up approach of supramolecular polymerization is an effective synthetic method for functional organic nanostructures. However, the uncontrolled growth and polydisperse structural outcome often lead to low functional efficiency. Thus, precise control over the structural characteristics of supramolecular polymers is the current scientific hurdle. Research so far has tended to focus on systems with inherent kinetic control by the presence of metastable state monomers either through conformational molecular design or by exploring pathway complexity. The need of the hour is to create generic strategies for dormant states of monomers that can be extended to different molecules and various structural organizations and dimensions. Here we venture to demonstrate chemical reaction-driven cooperative supramolecular polymerization as an alternative strategy for the controlled synthesis of organic two-dimensional nanostructures. In our approach, the dynamic imine bond is exploited to convert a non-assembling dormant monomer to an activated amphiphilic structure in a kinetically controlled manner. The chemical reaction governed retarded nucleation-elongation growth provides control over dispersity and size.

Abstract
Supramolecular block copolymerzation with optically or electronically complementary monomers provides an attractive bottom-up approach for the non-covalent synthesis of nascent axial organic heterostructures, which promises to deliver useful applications in energy conversion, optoelectronics, and catalysis. However, the synthesis of supramolecular block copolymers (BCPs) constitutes a significant challenge due to the exchange dynamics of non-covalently bound monomers and hence requires fine microstructure control. Furthermore, temporal stability of the segmented microstructure is a prerequisite to explore the applications of functional supramolecular BCPs. Herein, we report the cooperative supramolecular block copolymerization of fluorescent monomers in solution under thermodynamic control for the synthesis of axial organic heterostructures with light-harvesting properties. The fluorescent nature of the core-substituted naphthalene diimide (cNDI) monomers enables a detailed spectroscopic probing during the supramolecular block copolymerization process to unravel a nucleation-growth mechanism, similar to that of chain copolymerization for covalent block copolymers. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) imaging of BCP chains characterizes the segmented microstructure and also allows size distribution analysis to reveal the narrow polydispersity (polydispersity index (PDI) ≈ 1.1) for the individual block segments. Spectrally resolved fluorescence microscopy on single block copolymerized organic heterostructures shows energy migration and light-harvesting across the interfaces of linearly connected segments. Molecular dynamics and metadynamics simulations provide useful mechanistic insights into the free energy of interaction between the monomers as well as into monomer exchange mechanisms and dynamics, which have a crucial impact on determining the copolymer microstructure. Our comprehensive spectroscopic, microscopic, and computational analyses provide an unambiguous structural, dynamic, and functional characterization of the supramolecular BCPs. The strategy presented here is expected to pave the way for the synthesis of multi-component organic heterostructures for various functions.

Abstract
The biofabrication of biomimetic scaffolds for tissue engineering applications is a field in continuous expansion. Of particular interest, nanofibrous scaffolds can mimic the mechanical and structural properties (e.g., collagen fibers) of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and have shown high potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This review presents a general overview on nanofiber fabrication, with a specific focus on the design and application of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for vascular regeneration. The main nanofiber fabrication approaches, including self-assembly, thermally induced phase separation, and electrospinning are described. We also address nanofibrous scaffold design, including nanofiber structuring and surface functionalization, to improve scaffolds' properties. Scaffolds for vascular regeneration with enhanced functional properties, given by providing cells with structural or bioactive cues, are discussed. Finally, current in vivo evaluation strategies of these nanofibrous scaffolds are introduced as the final step, before their potential application in clinical vascular tissue engineering can be further assessed.

Abstract
The air-water interface is an ideal platform to produce two-dimensional (2D) structures involving anything from simple organic molecules to supramolecular moieties by exploiting hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions. Here, we show, using grazing incidence X-ray scattering, the formation of a 2D ordered structure of a charge-transfer (C-T) complex, namely, dodecyl methyl viologen (DMV) as acceptor and coronene tetracarboxylate potassium salt (CS) as donor, at the air-water interface. We have observed a phase transition in the 2D ordered structure as the area per molecule is decreased with increasing surface pressure in a Langmuir trough. The high-pressure ordering of the hydrocarbon chains associated with DMV destroys long-range C-T conjugation of DMV and CS at the air-water interface. Our results also explain the formation of DMV-CS cylindrical reverse micelles and eventually long nanowires that get formed in the self-assembly process in the bulk medium to preserve both the C-T conjugation and the organic tail-tail organization.

Abstract
Control of self-assembly is significant to the preparation of supramolecular materials and illustration of diversities in either natural or artificial systems. Supra-amphiphiles have remarkable advantages in the construction of nanostructures but control of shape and size of supramolecular nanostructures is still a great challenge. Here, we fabricate a series of supra-amphiphiles by utilizing the recognition motifs based on a heteroditopic porphyrin amphiphile and its zinc complex. These porphyrin amphiphiles can bind with a few guests including Cl-, coronene, C60, 4,4'-bipyridine and 2,4,6-tri(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine, which are further applied to facilitate the controllable self-assembly. Addition of these guests result in the formation of various supra-amphiphiles with well-defined structures, thus induce the generation of different aggregates. A diverse of aggregation morphologies including nanospheres, nanorods, films, spheric micelles, vesicles and macrowires are constructed upon the influence of specific complexation, which highlights the present work with abundant control on the shapes and dimensions of self-assemblies.

Abstract
![]()
Three-dimensional organized unidirectionally
aligned and responsive
supramolecular structures have much potential in adaptive materials
ranging from biomedical components to soft actuator systems. However,
to control the supramolecular structure of these stimuli responsive,
for example photoactive, materials and control their actuation remains
a major challenge. Toward the design of “artificial muscles”,
herein, we demonstrate an approach that allows hierarchical control
of the supramolecular structure, and as a consequence its photoactuation
function, by electrostatic interaction between motor amphiphiles (MA)
and counterions. Detailed insight into the effect of various ions
on structural parameters for self-assembly from nano- to micrometer
scale in water including nanofiber formation and nanofiber aggregation
as well as the packing structure, degree of alignment, and actuation
speed of the macroscopic MA strings prepared from various metal chlorides
solution, as determined by electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction,
and actuation speed measurements, is presented. Macroscopic MA strings
prepared from calcium and magnesium ions provide a high degree of
alignment and fast response photoactuation. By the selection of metal
ions and chain length of MAs, the macroscopic MA string structure
and function can be controlled, demonstrating the potential of generating
multiple photoresponsive supramolecular systems from an identical
molecular structure.

Abstract
Recently, charge transfer (CT) interactions have received attention for the fabrication of supramolecular architectures due to their inherent compatibilities, directional nature and solvent tolerance. In this study, we report a shape-memory dynamic network constructed by the CT interaction between π-electron-rich naphthalene embedded in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-Np) and π-electron-poor six-arm methyl-viologen-ended poly(ethylene glycol) (6PEG-MV), which was verified by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), fluorescence spectra and swelling tests. Interestingly, the mechanical properties of this CT complex were dramatically enhanced compared with the control without CT interaction. Moreover, the excellent shape-memory effect (SME) was realized due to the good crystallization of the PEG segment and stable netpoints based on the CT interaction. In addition, as we expected, this supramolecular polymer network is self-healable and reprocessable.

Abstract
Chalcogen-bonding interactions have been viewed as new non-covalent forces in supramolecular chemistry. However, harnessing chalcogen bonds to drive molecular self-assembly processes is still unexplored. Here we report for the first time a novel class of supra-amphiphiles formed by Te···O or Se···O chalcogen-bonding interactions, and their self-assembly into supramolecular vesicles and nanofibers. A quasi-calix[4]chalcogenadiazole (C4Ch) as macrocyclic donor and a tailed pyridine N-oxide surfactant as molecular acceptor are designed to construct the donor-acceptor complex via chalcogen-chalcogen connection between the chalcogenadiazole moieties and oxide anion. The affinity of such chalcogen-bonding can dictate the geometry of supra-amphiphiles, driving diverse self-assembled nanostructures. Furthermore, the reversible disassembly of these structures can be promoted by introducing competing halide ions or by decreasing systemic pH.

Abstract
The bulk solution properties of amphiphilic formulations are derivative of their self-assembly into higher ordered supramolecular assemblies known as micelles and of their ordering at the air-water interface. Exerting control over the surface-active properties of amphiphiles and their propensity to aggregate in pure water is most often fine-tuned by covalent modification of their molecular structure. Nevertheless structural constraints which limit the performance of amphiphiles do emerge when trying to develop more sophisticated systems which undergo for example, shape-defined controlled assembly and/or respond to external stimuli. In this regard, the template-modulated assembly of the so-called "supramolecular amphiphiles" continues to make progress ordering molecules that otherwise have very little to no driving force to aggregate in a prescribed manner in aqueous solutions. Herein we describe the template-modulated micellization and ordering at the air-water interface of bipyridinium-based supramolecular amphiphiles triggered by host-guest interactions with high specificity for the neurotransmitter melatonin over its biosynthetic synthon l-tryptophan and the thermodynamic parameters governing the template-modulated micellization process. When bound to the bipyridinium units of micellized surfactant molecules, melatonin effectively serves as "molecular glue" capable of lowering the CMC by 52% as compared to untemplated solutions. Analysis of this system suggests that a hallmark of donor-acceptor template-modulated micellization in water is a strong positively correlated temperature dependence of the CMC and the absence of a U-shaped CMC-temperature curve. Our findings make a case for the incorporation of l-tryptophan-based metabolites and their classical synthetic pharmaceutical bioisosteres as potential targets/components of donor-acceptor CT-based supramolecular amphiphile systems/materials operating in water.

Abstract
Versatile control of cylindrical nanostructures formed by supramolecular assembly of end-functionalized polymer blends is demonstrated not only in their orientation over large areas but also in their surface chemical functionalities. Two binary blends consisting of supramolecular analogues of diblock copolymers with complementary end-sulfonated and aminated groups are investigated, viz., mono-end-functionalized polymers of (i) one-end-sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) and one-end-aminated poly(butadiene) (APBD) and (ii) one end-aminated polystyrene (APS) and one end-sulfonated poly(butadiene) (SPBD). The orientation of the cylinders with respect to the substrate surface depends on the solvent annealing time; either hexagonally ordered vertical cylinders or in-plane ones are readily obtained by controlling the solvent annealing time. Selective chemical etching of one of the polymers provides four different chemically modified nanostructures, viz., hexagonally ordered cylindrical holes and cylindrical posts with either sulfonate or amine surface functional groups. Additional supramolecular assembly is successfully achieved by solution coating either polymers or organic dyes that complementarily interact with the functional groups on the nanostructures. Furthermore, the supramolecularly assembled nanostructures are controlled by confining them to topographically pre-patterned Si substrates with pattern geometries of various shapes and sizes to produce globally ordered vertical or in-plane cylinders with chemical functionalities on their surfaces.

Abstract
The spatial and temporal control of self-assemblies is the latest scientific hurdle in supramolecular chemistry which is inspired by the functioning of biological systems fueled by chemical signals. In this study, we work towards alleviating this scenario by employing a unique amphiphilic foldamer that operates under the effect of a chemical fuel. The conformational changes in the foldamer amplify into observable morphological changes in its amphiphilic assembly that are controlled by external molecular cues (fuel). We take advantage of this redox responsive foldamer to affect its conformation in a temporal manner by an enzymatic pathway. The temporal characteristics of the transient conformation/assembly can be modulated by varying the concentrations of the fuel and enzyme. We believe that such a design strategy can have positive consequences in designing molecular and supramolecular systems for future active, adaptive and autonomous materials.

Abstract
Fabrication of supramolecular electroactive materials at the nanoscale with well-defined size, shape, composition, and organization in aqueous medium is a current challenge. Herein we report construction of supramolecular charge-transfer complex one-dimensional (1D) nanowires consisting of highly ordered mixed-stack π-electron donor-acceptor (D-A) domains. We synthesized n-type and p-type β-sheet forming short peptide-chromophore conjugates, which assemble separately into well-ordered nanofibers in aqueous media. These complementary p-type and n-type nanofibers coassemble via hydrogen bonding, charge-transfer complex, and electrostatic interactions to generate highly uniform supramolecular n/p-coassembled 1D nanowires. This molecular design ensures highly ordered arrangement of D-A stacks within n/p-coassembled supramolecular nanowires. The supramolecular n/p-coassembled nanowires were found to be formed by A-D-A unit cells having an association constant (KA) of 5.18 × 105 M-1. In addition, electrical measurements revealed that supramolecular n/p-coassembled nanowires are approximately 2400 and 10 times more conductive than individual n-type and p-type nanofibers, respectively. This facile strategy allows fabrication of well-defined supramolecular electroactive nanomaterials in aqueous media, which can find a variety of applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, organic chromophore arrays, and bioelectronics.

Abstract
Supramolecular copolymers, non-covalent analogues of synthetic copolymers, constitute a new and promising class of polymers. In contrast to their covalent counterparts, the details of their mechanism of formation, as well as the factors determining their composition and length, are still poorly understood. Here, the supramolecular copolymerization between two slightly structurally different benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) monomers functionalized with either oligodimethylsiloxane (oDMSi) or alkyl side chains is unraveled by combining experimental and theoretical approaches. By applying the "sergeant-and-soldiers" approach using circular dichroism (CD) experiments, we are able to obtain detailed insights into the structure and composition of these supramolecular copolymers. Moreover, we observe an unexpected chiral induction upon mixing two independently CD-silent solutions of the achiral (soldier) and chiral (sergeant) monomers. We find that the subtle differences in the chemical structure of the two monomers impact their homopolymerization mechanism: whereas alkyl-BTAs cooperatively self-assemble, oDMSi-BTAs self-assemble in an isodesmic manner. The effect of these mechanistic differences in the supramolecular copolymerization process is investigated as a function of the composition of the two monomers and explicitly rationalized by mathematical modeling. The results show that, at low fractions of oDMSi-BTA sergeants (<10 mol%), the polymerization process is cooperative and the supramolecular helicity is biased toward the helical preference of the sergeant. However, at higher fractions of oDMSi-BTA sergeant (>25 mol%), the isodesmic assembly of the increasing amounts of sergeant becomes more dominant, and different species start to coexist in the copolymerization process. The analysis of the experimental data with a newly developed theoretical model allows us to quantify the thermodynamic parameters, the distribution of different species, and the compositions and stack lengths of the formed supramolecular copolymers existing at various feed ratios of the two monomers.

Abstract
![]()
The
energy landscape of a supramolecular material can include different
molecular packing configurations that differ in stability and function.
We report here on a thermally driven crystalline order transition
in the landscape of supramolecular nanostructures formed by charged
chromophore amphiphiles in salt-containing aqueous solutions. An irreversible
transition was observed from a metastable to a stable crystal phase
within the nanostructures. In the stable crystalline phase, the molecules
end up organized in a short scroll morphology at high ionic strengths
and as long helical ribbons at lower salt content. This is interpreted
as the result of the competition between electrostatic repulsive forces
and attractive molecular interactions. Only the stable phase forms
charge-transfer excitons upon exposure to visible light as indicated
by absorbance and fluorescence features, second-order harmonic generation
microscopy, and femtosecond transient absorbance spectroscopy. Interestingly,
the supramolecular reconfiguration to the stable crystalline phase
nanostructures enhances photosensitization of a proton reduction catalyst
for hydrogen production.

Abstract
Charge-transfer (CT) complexes of near-infrared absorbing systems have been unknown until now. Consequently, structural similarities between donor and acceptor are rather important to achieve this phenomenon. Herein, we report electron donors such as non-fused diporphyrin-anthracene (DP), zinc diporphyrin-anthracene (ZnDP) and fused zinc diporphyrin-anthracene (FZnDP) in which FZnDP absorbs in NIR region and permits a CT complex with the electron acceptor, perylene diimide (PDI) in CHCl3 exclusively. UV/Vis-NIR absorption, 1 H NMR, NOESY and powder X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that the CT complex formation occurs by π-π stacking between perylene units in FZnDP and PDI upon mixing together in a 1:1 molar concentration in CHCl3 , unlike non-fused ZnDP and DP. TEM and AFM images revealed that the CT complex initially forms nanospheres leading to nanorods by diffusion of CH3 OH vapors into the CHCl3 solution of FZnDP/PDI (1:1 molar ratio). Therefore, these CT nanorods could lead to significant advances in optical, biological and ferroelectric applications.
