Abstract
J-aggregates are highly desired dye aggregates but so far there has been no general concept how to accomplish the required slip-stacked packing arrangement for dipolar merocyanine (MC) dyes whose aggregation commonly affords one-dimensional aggregates composed of antiparallel, co-facially stacked MCs with H-type coupling. Herein we describe a strategy for MC J-aggregates based on our results for an amphiphilic MC dye bearing alkyl and oligo(ethylene glycol) side chains. In an aqueous solvent mixture, we observe the formation of two supramolecular polymorphs for this MC dye, a metastable off-pathway nanoparticle showing H-type coupling and a thermodynamically favored nanosheet showing J-type coupling. Detailed studies concerning the self-assembly mechanism by UV-Vis spectroscopy and the packing structure by atomic force microscopy and wide-angle X-ray scattering show how the packing arrangement of such amphiphilic MC dyes can afford slip-stacked two-dimensional nanosheets whose macrodipole is compensated by the formation of a bilayer structure. As an additional feature we demonstrate how the size of the nanosheets can be controlled by seeded living supramolecular polymerization.

Abstract
The research on perylene diimide (PDI) aggregates effectively promotes their applications in organic photovoltaic solar cells and fluorescent sensors. In this paper, a PDI fabricated with three peripheral PDI units (N, N’-bis(6-undecyl) perylene-3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide)) is investigated. The trimer shows different absorption and fluorescence properties due to hydrophobicity when dissolved in the mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water. Through comprehensive analysis of the fluorescence lifetime and transient absorption spectroscopic results, we concluded that the trimer underwent different excited state kinetic pathways with different concentrations of water in THF. When dissolved in pure THF solvent, both the intramolecular charge-transfer and excimer states are formed. When the water concentration increases from 0 to 50% (v/v), the formation time of the excimer state and its structural relaxation time are prolonged, illustrating the arising of the intermolecular excimer state. It is interesting to determine that the probability of the intramolecular charge-transfer pathway will first decrease and then increase as the speed of intermolecular excimer formation slows down. The two inflection points appear when the water concentration is above 10% and 40%. The results not only highlight the importance of hydrophobicity on the aggregate properties of PDI multimers but also guide the further design of PDI-based organic photovoltaic solar cells.

Abstract
A dithienylethene (DTE) photochromic compound functionalized by ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) quadruple hydrogen bonding blocks was synthesized by Takeshita and coworkers [Takeshita et al., Chem. Commun., 2005, 761] in order to form a light-responsive supramolecular self-assembling system. In solution, the formation of supramolecular assemblies was only observed for one DTE isomer, namely the closed-form isomer. To rationalize this experimental finding, with the help of Molecular Dynamics (MD) and (time-dependent) DFT calculations, the behaviour of open-form and closed-form monomers, dimers, hexamers and π-stacked dimers in solution is investigated. Our simulations show that, for the open-form oligomers, the progression of the supramolecular assembly is hindered due to (i) the possible formation of a very stable cyclic dimer for the open-form parallel isomer, (ii) the relative flexibility of the open-form oligomers compared to their closed-form counterparts, and (iii) the possible existence of π-stacked dimers that constitute bottlenecks blocking the progression of the supramolecular self-assembly.

Abstract
A material with diverse self-assembled morphologies is extremely important and highly desirable because such samples can provide tunable optical and electronic properties, which are critical in applications such as organic photovoltaics, microelectronics and bio-imaging. Moreover, the synthesis and controllable self-assembly of H-shaped bichromophoric perylenediimides (PDIs) are needed to advance these materials in organic photovoltaics, microelectronics and bio-imaging; however, this has remained a great challenge thus far. Here, we successfully synthesize a novel H-shaped bichromophoric PDI Gemini through the palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction. The as-prepared PDI Gemini exhibited unprecedented tunable self-assembly behavior in solution, yielding diverse low-dimensional superstructures, such as one-dimensional (1D) helices, two-dimensional (2D) rectangular nanocrystals, pyramid-shaped parallelograms, ultralarge micro-sheets, and uniform nanospheres, under different self-assembly conditions. Of particular interest, the 2D hierarchical superstructures along with their formation mechanisms represent the first finding in the self-assembly of PDI-based molecules. This study opens a new avenue for tunable self-assembly of conjugated molecules and affords opportunities for the fabrication of novel self-assembled optical and electronic materials based on PDI molecules.

Abstract
A series of novel barbiturate pendant-containing benzo[b]phosphole oxides has been demonstrated to exhibit photochromic and co-assembly properties. Both the open form and the photogenerated closed form of the diarylethene-based benzo[b]phosphole oxides have displayed color changes with new appearance of the bathochromic-shifted lowest-energy absorption bands upon addition of the H-bonding ditopic receptor that is complementary to the barbiturate groups, probably resulting in the formation of a supramolecular polymer. The co-assembly mixtures have displayed dissociation and association processes upon heating and cooling, respectively. Moreover, both the unassembled and co-assembled states of the benzo[b]phosphole oxide have exhibited photoinduced coloration, leading to a near-infrared absorption behavior. Multiaddressable states of the co-assembly mixture with multiple colors have been achieved via the combination of photochromism and thermochromism. More interestingly, photoinduced morphological changes from extensive porous network structures to ring-like aggregates have been observed for the co-assembly upon photoirradiation. The present work provides important insight for further developments of the multiaddressable systems and the supramolecular polymers with photo- and thermo-responsive behaviors, paving the way for the future design of photochromic materials with interesting photocontrollable functions.

Abstract
Smart light-responsive supramolecular materials have been extensively investigated in the past decade, but so far the impact of metal coordination on hierarchical supramolecular structures of light-responsive building blocks has remained nearly unexplored. Herein, we unravel the hierarchical self-assembly of a small π-conjugated azo-containing pyridyl ligand that is able to respond to UV-light and metal complexation. The ligand self-assembles in an antiparallel fashion into long twisted fibers, which are then disassembled upon photoisomerization of the azobenzene groups, resulting in shorter rigid rods with a different packing motif. Complexation of Pd(ii) ions enhances the cooperativity of the aggregation and induces a molecular rearrangement into slipped stacks with subsequent formation of long thin fibers. These are then transformed into thinner, shorter rods upon light irradiation. The observed different light-responsiveness, besides clearing up the influence of metal coordination and light irradiation in self-assembly processes, paves the way towards the design of novel supramolecular photochromic systems.

Abstract
A drive for anti-counterfeiting technology has attracted considerable interests in developing nanomaterials with a wide range of colors and tunable optical properties in solid state. Herein, with a series of conjugated polymers and based on the host-guest driven self-assembly strategy, a color-tunable supramolecular nanoparticle-based system is reported, in which full-color as well as white fluorescence can be achieved. Moreover, this fluorescent platform exhibits reversible photoswitching between quenching and emission by noncovalently introducing a photoresponsive energy acceptor. In addition, an efficient chemiluminescence system with high intensity can also be obtained in a similar manner by introducing a H2O2-responsive energy donor. Significantly, chemiluminescence is advantageous over fluorescence since there is no need for external light irradiation. More importantly, these acceptor/donor-loaded supramolecular nanoparticles exhibit fluorescence/chemiluminescence modulation ability in both solution and solid state. Therefore, this supramolecular system can be employed as fluorescent security inks for anti-counterfeiting strategies and provide a proof-of-principle application.

Abstract
Four well-defined π-stacks of perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes were obtained in solution by covalent linkage of two chromophores with spacer units of different length and sterical demand. Structural elucidation of the folda-dimers by in-depth nuclear magnetic resonance studies and geometry optimization at the level of density functional theory suggest different, but highly defined molecular arrangements of the two chromophores in the folded state enforced by the various spacer moieties. Remarkably, the dye stacks exhibit considerably different optical properties as investigated by UV/vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, despite only slightly different chromophore arrangements. The distinct absorption properties can be rationalized by an interplay of long- and short-range exciton coupling resulting in optical signatures ranging from conventional H-type to monomer like absorption features with low and appreciably high fluorescence quantum yields, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first experimental proof of a PBI-based "null-aggregate", in which long- and short-range exciton coupling fully compensate each other, giving rise to monomer-like absorption features for a stack of two PBI chromophores. Hence, our insights pinpoint the importance of charge-transfer mediated short-range coupling that can significantly influence the optical properties of PBI π-stacks.

Abstract
A key issue for the application of π-conjugated organic molecules as thin film solid-state materials is the packing structure, which drastically affects optical and electronic properties due to intermolecular coupling. In this regard, merocyanine dyes usually pack in H-coupled antiparallel arrangements while structures with more interesting J-type coupling have been rarely reported. Here we show that for three highly dipolar merocyanine dyes, which exhibit the same π-scaffold and accordingly equal properties as monomers in solution, the solid-state packing can be changed by a simple variation of aliphatic substituents to afford narrow and intense absorption bands with huge hypsochromic (H) or bathochromic (J) shifts for their thin films and nanocrystals. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations show that the energetic offset of almost 1 eV magnitude results from distinct packing motifs within the crystal structures that comply with the archetype H- or J-aggregate structures as described by Kasha's exciton theory.

High-fidelity self-assembly pathways for hydrogen-bonding molecular semiconductors. Sci Rep 2017; 7:43098.

Abstract
The design of molecular systems with high-fidelity self-assembly pathways that include several levels of hierarchy is of primary importance for the understanding of structure-function relationships, as well as for controlling the functionality of organic materials. Reported herein is a high-fidelity self-assembly system that comprises two hydrogen-bonding molecular semiconductors with regioisomerically attached short alkyl chains. Despite the availability of both discrete cyclic and polymeric linear hydrogen-bonding motifs, the two regioisomers select one of the two motifs in homogeneous solution as well as at the 2D-confined liquid-solid interface. This selectivity arises from the high directionality of the involved hydrogen-bonding interactions, which renders rerouting to other self-assembly pathways difficult. In thin films and in the bulk, the resulting hydrogen-bonded assemblies further organize into the expected columnar and lamellar higher-order architectures via solution processing. The contrasting organized structures of these regioisomers are reflected in their notably different miscibility with soluble fullerene derivatives in the solid state. Thus, electron donor-acceptor blend films deliver a distinctly different photovoltaic performance, despite their virtually identical intrinsic optoelectronic properties. Currently, we attribute this high-fidelity control via self-assembly pathways to the molecular design of these supramolecular semiconductors, which lacks structure-determining long aliphatic chains.

Abstract
Light-driven transcription and replication are always subordinate to a delicate chirality transfer. Enabling light work in construction of the helical self-assembly with reversible chiral transformation becomes attractive. Herein we demonstrate that a helical hydrogen-bonded self-assembly is reversibly photoswitched between photochromic open and closed forms upon irradiation with alternative UV and visible light, in which molecular chirality is amplified with the formation of helixes at supramolecular level. The characteristics in these superhelixes such as left-handed or right-handed twist and helical length, height, and pitch are revealed by SEM and AFM. The helical photoswitchable nanostructure provides an easily accessible route to an unprecedented photoreversible modulation in morphology, fluorescence, and helicity, with precise assembly/disassembly architectures similar to biological systems such as protein and DNA.

Abstract
Self-assembled microstructures of an amphiphilic diarylethene featuring an alkyl chain and triethylene glycol groups showed a photoinduced reversible morphological change in water. Reversible photoisomerization of the core diarylethene gave rise to a reversible morphological transformation between colorless microspheres and colored fibers. When colorless microspheres were irradiated with UV light, colored fibers were formed, and when the colored fibers were irradiated with visible light, the spheres were restored to their original positions where the spheres originally existed. This system showed reversible morphological change through not only photoirradiation but also temperature change. These behaviors can be interpreted as a phase transition between the sphere and fiber states. The dynamic process of the phase transition was monitored by polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was revealed that the formation of fibers upon UV irradiation occurred radially at the surface of the sphere and the formation of the spheres upon visible-light irradiation occurred at the middle of the fiber. The unique photoinduced mechanical motion provides useful information for the design of sophisticated photoactuators.

Abstract
Surface-addressable nanostructures of linearly π-conjugated molecules play a crucial role in the emerging field of nanoelectronics. Herein, by using DNA as the hydrophilic segment, we demonstrate a solid-phase "click" chemistry approach for the synthesis of a series of DNA-chromophore hybrid amphiphiles and report their reversible self-assembly into surface-engineered vesicles with enhanced emission. DNA-directed surface addressability of the vesicles was demonstrated through the integration of gold nanoparticles onto the surface of the vesicles by sequence-specific DNA hybridization. This system could be converted to a supramolecular light-harvesting antenna by integrating suitable FRET acceptors onto the surface of the nanostructures. The general nature of the synthesis, surface addressability, and biocompatibility of the resulting nanostructures offer great promises for nanoelectronics, energy, and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Photoirradiation of a hexadecameric supramolecular G-quadruplex leads to a diastereoselective [2 + 2] cyclodimerization of half of its constituent subunits, which in turn shifts the equilibrium toward the formation of a precise heteromeric octamer.

Abstract
Photochromic diarylethene is a promising candidate not only for optical memory and switching units in molecular devices, but also as a photoresponsive building block that can regulate supramolecular architectures because of its characteristic changes in the flexibility of the framework and delocalization of π-electrons, along with its photoisomerization ability. Amphiphilic photochromic compounds with oligo-(ethylene glycol) side chains show good solubility in water, and self-assemble into nanostructures in aqueous media. Asymmetric introduction of a methyl group can induce a helical preference in the supramolecular structure, and the photoswitching behaviour of supramolecular chirality was defined by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The effective position of an asymmetric group to induce supramolecular chirality is also discussed. In addition, the self-assemblies of diarylethene derivatives in water show photoresponsive lowest critical solution temperature (LCST). The open- and closed-ring isomers show LCST transitions at different temperatures. In particular, the difference in LCST becomes prominent when amide groups are introduced at the root of hydrophilic side chains. This is attributed to intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed by the amide groups in the hydrophobic region of the supramolecular structure in water.
