Chem Sci 2024; 15:12569-12579.

Abstract
Due to the general incompleteness of photochemical reactions, the photostationary structure in traditional photo-controlled host-guest self-assembly transfer is usually disordered or irregular. This fact readily affects the photoregulation or improvement of related material properties. Herein, a photoexcitation-induced aggregation molecule, hydroxyl hexa(thioaryl)benzene (HB), was grafted into β-cyclodextrin to form a host-guest system. Upon irradiation, the excited state conformational change of HB can drive an order-to-order phase transition of the system, enabling the transfer of the initial linear nanostructure to a photostationary worm-like nanostructure with orderliness and crystallinity capability. Along with the photoexcitation-controlled phase transition, an afterglow effect was obtained from the films prepared by doping the host-guest system into poly(vinyl alcohol). The afterglow effect had a superior water resistance, which successfully overcame the general sensitivity of doped materials with the afterglow effect to water vapor. These results are expected to provide new insights for pushing forward chemical self-assembly from the light perspective, towards materials with superior and stable properties under light treatment.

Abstract
In the design of photoharvesting and photoresponsive supramolecular systems in aqueous medium, the fabrication of amphiphilic photoswitches enables a noninvasive functional response through photoirradiation. Although most aqueous supramolecular assemblies are driven by high-energy and biodamaging UV light, we have previously reported a design of amphiphilic donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) controlled by white light. Herein, we present a series of DASA amphiphiles (DAs) with minor structural modifications on the alkyl linker chain length connecting the DASA motif with the hydrophilic moiety. The excellent photoswitchability in organic medium and the photoresponsiveness in aqueous medium, driven by visible light, were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The assembled supramolecular nanostructures were confirmed by electron microscopy, while the supramolecular packing was revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Upon visible-light irradiation, significant transformations of the DA geometry enabled transformations of the supramolecular assemblies on a microscopic scale, subsequently disassembling macroscopic soft scaffolds of DAs. The current work shows promising use for the fabrication of visible-light-controlled macroscopic scaffolds, offering the next generation of biomedical materials with visible-light-controlled microenvironments and future soft-robotic systems.

Abstract
Photocontrollable luminescent molecular switches capable of changing emitting color have been regarded as the ideal integration between intelligent and luminescent materials. A remaining challenge is to combine good luminescence properties with wide range of wavelength transformation, especially when confined in a single molecular system that forms well-defined nanostructures. Here, we report a π-expanded photochromic molecular photoswitch, which allows for the comprehensive achievements including wide emission wavelength variation (240 nm wide, 400-640 nm), high photoisomerization extent (95%), and pure emission color (<100 nm of full width at half maximum). We take the advantageous mechanism of modulating self-assembly and intramolecular charge transfer in the synthesis and construction, and further realize the full color emission by simple photocontrol. Based on this, both photoactivated anti-counterfeiting function and self-erasing photowriting films are achieved of fluorescence. This work will provide insight into the design of intelligent optical materials.

Abstract
Chirality dynamic tuning plays fundamental roles in chemistry, material science and biological system. Herein, a pair of azobenzene-bridged bis-tryptophan enantiomers (Azo-di-d/l-Trp) were designed and synthesized via simple reactions. With the fuel of glucono-δ-lactone (GdL), releasing protons during its hydrolysis, the alkaline solution of Azo-di-d/l-Trp gradually self-assembled into contrast chiral helical structures and displayed magnitude and mirror image of circular dichroism (CD) signals. While the chiral helices converted to CD silent nanoparticles when the azobenzene moiety isomerized from trans- to cis-form under UV irradiation. More importantly, this chiroptical switch, displaying reversible interconversion between chiral amplification and silent, can be smartly controlled via photoirradiation at various wavelengths.

Abstract
The Industries need techniques for the rapid structure analysis of amino acid derivatives. The amino acid derivatives are sometimes produced as impurities in the industrial production processes, and cause toxicity problems. Herein, we report the crystalline sponge (CS) method analysis of variety of amino acids using a formyl group installed CS crystal. Most amino acids possess a primary amino group, which can form Schiff-base with the formyl group under mild conditions. Thus, the formyl group installed CS crystal can efficiently capture the amino acids via Schiff-base formation. We successfully analyzed derivatives of 18 proteogenic amino acids, 6 non-proteogenic amino acids, and 4 dipeptides using the formyl group installed CS. We thus believe that the protocols shown in this study would serve the need of the industries.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD) is an important guest material owing to the water solubility and biocompatibility. In the paper, an organic small molecule was synthesized. According to supramolecular self-assembly, the organic molecule was bounded to the cavity of Poly β-cyclodextrin, which was characterized by IR, SEM and TEM et al. After self-assembly interaction, the morphology has changed obviously comparing with precursors. Simultaneously, the supramolecular self-assembly complex exhibited good water solubility. Moreover, By Gaussian calculation, the high binding activity between organic molecule and cyclodextrin was confirmed. By fluorescence investigation, the supramolecular system showed high fluorescence sensing activity for Zn2+ in pure water environment, which could track the dynamic change of Zn2+ in organisms. In addition, the supramolecular system exhibited low cytotoxicity. The work provided an interesting pathway for constructing water-soluble and low cytotoxic fluorescence sensor for Zn2+.

Abstract
Enhancing the dissymmetry factor (glum ) is a crucial issue in developing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials. Herein, based on supramolecular self-assembly of diethyl l-glutamate-cyanodiarylethene (L-GC) in mixed solution of EtOH-H2 O with different water fraction, enhanced circularly polarized emission from pulsating nanotubules is realized. In the mixture of ethanol and water (30/70, v/v), L-GC self-assembles into roll-up-type dense nanotubes and shows l-CPL. Remarkably, by increasing the water fraction to 80% and 90%, the diameter of the roll-up nanotubes increases and the dissymmetry factor of the nanotubes is significantly enhanced from 6.9 × 10-3 (dense nanotubes) to 3.7 × 10-2 (loose nanotubes) because of the enhanced intermolecular interactions and more ordered supramolecular stacking when increasing the water fraction. An efficient way is provided here to realize the increase of the dissymmetry factor by only changing the composition of solvents.

Abstract
Chirality transfer and regulation, accompanied by morphology transformation, arouse widespread interest for application in materials and biological science. Here, a photocontrolled supramolecular chiral switch is fabricated from chiral diphenylalanine (l-Phe-l-Phe, FF) modified with naphthalene (2), achiral dithienylethene (DTE) photoswitch (1), and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). Chirality transfer from the chiral FF moiety of 2 to a charge-transfer (CT) heterodimer consisting of achiral guest 1 and achiral naphthalene (NP) in 2 has been unprecedented achieved via the encapsulation of CB[8]. On the contrary, chirality transfer from chiral FF to NP cannot be conducted in only guest 2. Crucially, induced circular dichroism of the heterodimer can be further modulated by distinct light, attributing to reversible photoisomerization of the DTE. Meanwhile, topological nanostructures are changed from one-dimensional (1D) nanofibers to two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets in the orderly assembling process of the heterodimer, which further achieved reversible interconversion between 2D nanosheets and 1D nanorods with tunable-induced chirality stimulated by diverse light.

Abstract
There is huge demand for developing guests that bind β-CD and can conjugate multiple cargos for cellular delivery. We synthesized trioxaadamantane derivatives, which can conjugate up to three cargos per guest. 1 H NMR titration and isothermal titration calorimetry revealed these guests form 1 : 1 inclusion complexes with β-CD with association constants in the order of 103 M-1 . Co-crystallization of β-CD with guests yielded crystals of their 1 : 1 inclusion complexes as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all cases, trioxaadamantane core is buried within the hydrophobic cavity of β-CD and three hydroxyl groups are exposed outside. We established biocompatibility using representative candidate G4 and its inclusion complex with β-CD (β-CD⊂G4), by MTT assay using HeLa cells. We incubated HeLa cells with rhodamine-conjugated G4 and established cellular cargo delivery using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. For functional assay, we incubated HeLa cells with β-CD-inclusion complexes of G4-derived prodrugs G6 and G7, containing one and three units of the antitumor drug (S)-(+)-camptothecin, respectively. Cells incubated with β-CD⊂G7 displayed the highest internalization and uniform distribution of camptothecin. β-CD⊂G7 showed higher cytotoxicity than G7, camptothecin, G6 and β-CD⊂G6, affirming the efficiency of adamantoid derivatives in high-density loading and cargo delivery.

Abstract
Developing an artificial dynamic nanoscale molecular machine that dissipatively self-assembles far from equilibrium is fundamentally important but is significantly challenging. Herein, we report dissipatively self-assembling light-activated convertible pseudorotaxanes (PRs) that show tunable fluorescence and enable deformable nano-assemblies. A pyridinium-conjugated sulfonato-merocyanine derivative (EPMEH) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) form the 2EPMEH ⊂ CB[8] [3]PR in a 2:1 stoichiometry, which phototransforms into a transient spiropyran containing 1:1 EPSP ⊂ CB[8] [2]PR when exposed to light. The transient [2]PR thermally relaxes (reversibly) to the [3]PR in the dark accompanied by periodic fluorescence changes that include near-infrared emission. Moreover, octahedral and spherical nanoparticles are formed through the dissipative self-assembly of the two PRs, and the Golgi apparatus is dynamically imaged using fluorescent dissipative nano-assemblies.

Abstract
Photoswitchable fluorescent materials are desirable for many applications because their emission signals can be easily modulated on demand. In this study, novel photoswitchable multistate fluorescent supramolecular polymers (PMFSPs) were prepared via host-guest interactions under a facile ultrasonication strategy. In the system, photochromic fluorescent diarylethylene monomer (SDTE, donor) and adamantane-containing monomer (BAC) were covalently combined into the backbone of the guest polymer (P1) via radical copolymerization. Meanwhile, the host moiety (CDSP, acceptor) was synthesized by covalent incorporation of photochromic spiropyran dye (SPCOOH) with β-cyclodextrin. By adjusting the stimulation wavelength and utilizing photoinduced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), the supramolecular polymers can undergo reversible tristate fluorescence switching among none, red, and green. In addition, due to the high contrast, rapid photoresponsiveness and prominent photoreversibility of the prepared PMFSPs, we demonstrated that they have great potential in advanced anti-counterfeiting and multilevel information encryption.

Abstract
Designing responsive, adaptive, and dynamic supramolecular systems in water, the incorporation of photoresponsive units in amphiphilic molecular structures enables functional responses in a non-invasive way by using light. However, in aqueous media, vast majority of reported synthetic photoresponsive molecular amphiphiles are commonly driven by high energy and bio-damaging UV-light for supramolecular transformation at multiple length-scale. Herein, we present newly designed visible-light controlled supramolecular assembly of donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts amphiphiles (DA) with excellent stability and solubility in aqueous media. The excellent photoswitchability in organic media and photoresponsiveness in aqueous media driven by visible-light are found, as confirmed with UV-vis absorption and NMR spectroscopies. Supramolecular assembly at multiple length-scale of DAs is investigated with electron microscopies and X-ray diffraction to show large aspect-ratio of nanostructures assembled into macroscopic soft scaffolds. Upon visible-light irradiation, the large geometrical transformation of DAs enables supramolecular transformations, and subsequently destabilizes the macroscopic soft scaffold to release fluorophores from the scaffolds. These results provide the feasibility in developing the next generation of visible-light controlled macroscopic soft functional scaffold from supramolecular assembly across multiple length-scale without and offer ample opportunity to design future soft robotic materials and functional biomaterials.

Abstract
Dissipative self-assembly, one of fundamentally important out-of-equilibrium self-assembly systems, can serve as a controllable platform to exhibit temporal processes for various non-stimulus responsive properties. However, construction of light-fueled dissipative self-assembly structures with transformable morphology to modulate non-photoresponsive properties remains a great challenge. Here, we report a light-activated photodeformable dissipative self-assembly system in aqueous solution as metastable fluorescent palette. Zwitterionic sulfonato-merocyanine is employed as a light-induced amphiphile to co-assemble with polyethyleneimine after light irradiation. The formed spherical nanoparticles spontaneously transform into cuboid ones in the dark with simultaneous variation of the particle sizes. Then the two kinds of nanoparticles can reversibly interconvert to each other by periodical light irradiation and thermal relaxation. Furthermore, after loading different fluorophores exhibiting red, green, blue emissions and their mixtures, all these fluorescent dissipative deformable nanoparticles display time-dependent fluorescence variation with wide range of colors. Owing to the excellent performance of photodeformable dissipative assembly platform, the light-controlled fluorescence has achieved a 358-fold enhancement. Therefore, exposing the nanoparticles loaded with fluorophores to light in a spatially controlled manner allows us to draw multicolored fluorescent images that spontaneously disappeared after a specific period of time. Dissipative self-assembly can serve as a controllable platform to exhibit temporal processes for various non-stimulus responsive properties but construction of light-fueled dissipative self-assembly structures with transformable morphology to modulate non-photoresponsive properties remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a light-activated photodeformable dissipative self-assembly system in aqueous solution as metastable fluorescent platform.

Abstract
The photoisomerization behavior of cyanostilbene molecules is a hotspot in supramolecular configuration transformation research. Here, we reported a cyanostilbene derivative that converted from the Z,Z-isomer to the E,E-isomer under UV light irradiation at 365 nm. This process can be reversibly converted only in the presence of cucurbit[8]uril under the same light source, accompanied by the reversible conversion of fluorescence from green to yellow. No effective configuration transformation occurred with guest molecules only or upon the addition of cucurbit[7]uril. The photoisomerization was fully characterized by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy. This work provides a new method for the supramolecular macrocyclic-activated configuration transformation.

Abstract
Multicharged cyclodextrin (CD) supramolecular assemblies, including those based on positively/negatively charged modified mono-6-deoxy-CDs, per-6-deoxy-CDs, and random 2,3,6-deoxy-CDs, as well as parent CDs binding positively/negatively charged guests, have been extensively applied in chemistry, materials science, medicine, biological science, catalysis, and other fields. In this review, we primarily focus on summarizing the recent advances in positively/negatively charged CDs and parent CDs encapsulating positively/negatively charged guests, especially the construction process of supramolecular assemblies and their applications. Compared with uncharged CDs, multicharged CDs display remarkably high antiviral and antibacterial activity as well as efficient protein fibrosis inhibition. Meanwhile, charged CDs can interact with oppositely charged dyes, drugs, polymers, and biomacromolecules to achieve effective encapsulation and aggregation. Consequently, multicharged CD supramolecular assemblies show great advantages in improving drug-delivery efficiency, the luminescence properties of materials, molecular recognition and imaging, and the toughness of supramolecular hydrogels, in addition to enabling the construction of multistimuli-responsive assemblies. These features are anticipated to not only promote the development of CD-based supramolecular chemistry but also contribute to the rapid exploitation of these assemblies in diverse interdisciplinary applications.

Abstract
The self-assembly of molecules in two dimensions (2D) is gathering attention from all disciplines across the chemical sciences. Attracted by the interesting properties of two-dimensional inorganic analogues, monomers of different chemical natures are being explored for the assembly of dynamic 2D systems. Although many important discoveries have been already achieved, great challenges are still to be addressed in this field. Hierarchical multicomponent assembly, directional non-covalent growth and internal structural control are a just a few of the examples that will be discussed in this perspective about the exciting present and the bright future of two-dimensional supramolecular assemblies. The self-assembly of molecules in two dimensions (2D) is gathering attention from all disciplines across the chemical sciences.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS General strategies leading to 2D assemblies promise a significant step forward in the development of supramolecular materials with diversity and superiority. Considering molecular packing parameter indicates a connection between molecular geometry and aggregate morphology, we predict the introduction of ionic surfactants as assembly crosslinker would be endowed to develop a methodology of 2D supramolecular assembles. EXPERIMENTS In this work, by introducing ionic surfactants such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), the molecular packing parameter P in bolaamphiphile (A2G) system was increased, which successfully manipulated the transformation of the 3D vesicles into 2D membranes. This 2D membranes further showed excellent light and enzyme response, and thus 2D to 3D morphological conversion can be rationally controlled via UV/Vis light irradiation and alternate addition of β-CD and α-amylase. Significantly, the 2D feature revealed not only a remarkable fluorescence enhancement to luminescent molecules but also the ability to effectively remove pollutants from water through filtration. FINDINGS We report a general and facile strategy for the construction of 2D supramolecular membranes, initiated by introducing ionic surfactants as assembly crosslinker to increase P. In the existence of stimulus response factors, 2D↔3D morphological conversion can be further controlled in a flexible manner, which opens up a new paradigm leading to interconvertible supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Most of the supramolecular structures lack accuracy at the macroscopic scale because of their spontaneous uncontrolled self-assembly. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the pros and cons of various directional noncovalent interactions and their specific molecular recognition ability, it is only in the recent past that the focus has been shifted toward controlling the dimension, dispersity, and other macroscopic properties of supramolecular assemblies. In this context, recent examples encompass various external stimuli to gain the structural precision in supramolecular assembly, among which light-triggered supramolecular assembly has gained significant interest as it is reagent free and endows the possibility of the controlled synthesis of supramolecular assemblies via manipulation of the light energy, irradiation time, or spatial control. This mini-review highlights representative recent examples of phototriggered supramolecular assemblies (from the monomer or another type of assembly) by removal of a photolabile protecting group, photoisomerization, or other methods of photoactivation of a dormant building block.

Abstract
Diphenylalanine is an amyloidogenic building block that can form a versatile array of supramolecular materials. Its shortcomings, however, include the uncontrolled hierarchical assembly into microtubes of heterogeneous size distribution and well-known cytotoxicity. This study rationalized heterochirality as a successful strategy to address both of these pitfalls and it provided an unprotected heterochiral dipeptide that self-organized into a homogeneous and optically clear hydrogel with excellent ability to sustain fibroblast cell proliferation and viability. Substitution of one l-amino acid with its d-enantiomer preserved the ability of the dipeptide to self-organize into nanotubes, as shown by single-crystal XRD analysis, whereby the pattern of electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions of the backbone was unaltered. The effect of heterochirality was manifested in subtle changes in the positioning of the aromatic side chains, which resulted in weaker intermolecular interactions between nanotubes. As a result, d-Phe-l-Phe self-organized into homogeneous nanofibrils with a diameter of 4 nm, corresponding to two layers of peptides around a water channel, and yielded a transparent hydrogel. In contrast with homochiral Phe-Phe stereoisomer, it formed stable hydrogels thermoreversibly. d-Phe-l-Phe displayed no amyloid toxicity in cell cultures with fibroblast cells proliferating in high numbers and viability on this biomaterial, marking it as a preferred substrate over tissue-culture plastic. Halogenation also enabled the tailoring of d-Phe-l-Phe self-organization. Fluorination allowed analogous supramolecular packing as confirmed by XRD, thus nanotube formation, and gave intermediate levels of bundling. In contrast, iodination was the most effective strategy to augment the stability of the resulting hydrogel, although at the expense of optical transparency and biocompatibility. Interestingly, iodine presence hindered the supramolecular packing into nanotubes, resulting instead into amphipathic layers of stacked peptides without the occurrence of halogen bonding. By unravelling fine details to control these materials at the meso- and macro-scale, this study significantly advanced our understanding of these systems.

Abstract
Controllable construction of diversiform topological morphologies through supramolecular self-assembly on the basis of single building block is of vital importance, but still remains a big challenge. Herein, a bola-type supra-amphiphile, namely DAdDMA@2β-CD, is rationally designed and successfully prepared by typical host-guest binding β-cyclodextrin units with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active scaffold DAdDMA. Self-assembling investigation reveals that several morphologies of self-assembled DAdDMA@2β-CD including leaf-like lamellar structure, nanoribbons, vesicles, nanofibers, helical nanofibers, and toroids, can be straightforwardly fabricated by simply manipulating the self-assembling solvent proportioning and/or temperature. To the best of knowledge, this presented protocol probably holds the most types of self-assembling morphology alterations using a single entity. Moreover, the developed leaf-like lamellar structure performs well in mimicking the light-harvesting antenna system by incorporating with a Förster resonance energy transfer acceptor, providing up to 94.2% of energy transfer efficiency.

Abstract
In this work, an irregular calixpyridinium-suramin sodium supramolecular assembly was constructed by the strong host-guest electrostatic interactions. More interestingly, a novel regular spherical supramolecular assembly was also fabricated by the hydrogen bonding interactions between suramin sodium and the UV accelerated addition product of deprotonated calixpyridinium in water. The same principle was also applied to construct a UV accelerated regular spherical self-assembly by the addition product of deprotonated calixpyridinium in water. Compared with the complicated and irreversible covalent connection of the light-responsive groups to the building block, which is one of the common means of obtaining light-responsive supramolecular systems, this finding not only provides a smart, facile, and universally applicable method to construct deprotonated calixpyridinium-based light-responsive host-guest systems but also provides a new idea for the development of other novel light-responsive building blocks.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid to construct photoresponsive host-guest supramolecular gels; however, red-shifting the responsive wavelength remains a formidable challenge. Here, a wholly visible-light-responsive supramolecular gel was fabricated through the host-guest interaction between a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) dimer and a tetra-ortho-methoxy-substituted azobenzene (mAzo) dimer (binary gelator) in DMSO/H2O (V/V = 8/2). The minimum gelation concentration of the low-molecular-weight binary gelator was 6 wt % measured via the tube inversion method. The substituted methoxy groups shifted the responsive wavelengths of trans-mAzo and cis-mAzo to the green and blue light regions, respectively. The host-guest interaction between mAzo and β-CD as the driving force for gelation was confirmed using the 1H-NMR and 2D 1H NOESY spectra. The supramolecular gel showed good self-supporting ability with a storage modulus higher than 104 Pa. The release of Rhodamine B loaded in the gel as a model drug could be controlled by green light irradiation. We envisioned the potential applications of the wholly visible-light-responsive supramolecular compounds ranging from biomedical materials to smart materials.

Abstract
Intelligent fluorescent materials have been paid more and more attention due to their wide application in information encryption and anti-counterfeiting materials. Herein, a supramolecular polymer is constructed through the host-guest interaction of anthraquinone-modified β-cyclodextrin (AQ-β-CD) in aqueous solution. Thanks to the hydrophobic microenvironment of the cyclodextrin cavity and the shielding effect on oxygen molecules, the anthraquinone group, as the guest molecule, can rapidly produce 9,10-anthracenediol (QH2) with strong fluorescence by photoreduction. Interestingly, the generated anthracenediol group is still sensitive to oxygen and can be converted to anthraquinone by oxygen. Significantly, aqueous solution of AQ-β-CD supermolecular polymer is used as emitting ink, which decrypts the information by ultraviolet light and encrypts the information in the air.

Abstract
Drug-drug self-delivery systems serving as both carriers and cargos have been explored as advanced combination chemotherapy strategies to overcome the limitations of the traditional single-drug chemotherapy. However, most known drug-drug self-delivery systems may cause a rapid increase in drug concentration when the single covalent bond is broken, thus leading to high toxicity to organs and low therapeutic efficiency against tumors. To address the above problem, in this study, a novel supramolecular drug-drug complex (SDDC) simultaneously containing both covalent and noncovalent bonds was proposed to realize the sequential release of two drugs in tumor cells for enhanced combination therapy. The SDDC could self-assemble into uniform bilayer supramolecular vesicles (SVs) with a remarkable drug loading capacity and stable drug transport. Notably, the SVs with controlled sequential release ability in tumor cells exhibited a superior synergistic effect and significantly improved therapeutic efficiency with reduced toxicity in in vivo antitumor activity and histological analyses in comparison to either individual free drugs or a mixture of two free drugs. Therefore, by combining the advantages of noncovalent interactions with the dynamic nature and stable covalent bonds, this study opens a new way for cancer therapy.

Abstract
To understand the self-inclusion and the dissociation in a branched β-cyclodextrin (CD) system, we designed and synthesized a β-CD trimer in which each CD group is connected to one of bridging arms of a planar triphenylbenzene core through a CuAAC click reaction. Only one rather than two or all of the three host CDs was demonstrated to be in a self-including state in water, while no self-inclusion was observed to occur in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) via the characterization of 1H and NOESY NMR spectra. The configuration structures of the CD groups in the self-included state were evaluated, and the dissociation to free state in water was investigated under various conditions like heating, increased acidity, and discharging versus the addition of competitive guests. While raised temperature and increased acidity did not break the self-inclusion, two adamantane guest molecules were found to show capability in driving the equilibrium to get back to free state against the self-inclusion. The inclusion process of the added guests was believed to involve in the dissociation of the self-inclusion and the occupation of the guests in CD cavity. The results of host-guest interaction study indicated that the stable combination of guests was favorable for blocking the structural overturning of glucose toward trapping the bridging group into the cavity.

Abstract
A novel triazolyl bridged cucurbituril (CB)-cyclodextrin (CD) dimer was synthesized via click reaction of monopropargyl modified octamethylcucurbit[6]uril and mono-6-azido-β-cyclodextrin. Moreover, it could form stable supramolecular inclusion complexes possessing efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer, which benefited from the fact that CD and CB can bind amantadine- and pyridinium-containing fluorophores simultaneously. The supramolecular inclusion complex behaviors were investigated by NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
Tunable supramolecular nanoarchitectures have received enormous attention because of their potential in materials fabrication. Herein, a variety of morphologically intriguing nanoarchitectures have been constructed from diphenanthro-24-crown-8 ether (DPC) and metal ions. SEM and TEM showed that the self-assembled nanofibers undergo a CsI -induced transformation into regular nanoribbons, and further into nanospheres and nanoparticles by the complexation of NiII and AgI ions because of the strong ion-dipole interaction. Moreover, the X-ray crystal structure determination and powder X-diffraction data further confirmed that these morphological transformations resulted from the different complexation between DPC and metal ions. This result provides a new strategy for the subtle manipulation of supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs), which are a class of cyclic oligosaccharides extracted from the enzymatic degradation of starch, are often utilized in molecular recognition and assembly constructs, primarily via host-guest interactions in water. In this review, recent progress in CD-based supramolecular nanoassemblies that are sensitive to chemical, biological, and physical stimuli is updated and reviewed, and intriguing examples of the biological functions of these nanoassemblies are presented, including pH- and redox-responsive drug and gene delivery, enzyme-activated specific cargo release, photoswitchable morphological interconversion, microtubular aggregation, and cell-cell communication, as well as a geomagnetism-controlled nanosystem for the suppression of tumor invasion and metastasis. Moreover, future perspectives and challenges in the fabrication of intelligent CD-based biofunctional materials are also discussed at the end of this review, which is expected to promote the translational development of these nanomaterials in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Although supramolecular prodrug self-assemblies have been proven as efficient nanocarriers for cancer therapy, tedious synthesis procedures have made their practical applications more difficult. In this paper, β-cyclodextrin-based supramolecular self-assemblies (SSAs) were directly constructed by utilizing β-cyclodextrin trimer (β-CD3) as the host unit and unmodified curcumin as the guest unit. Due to the adjustment of host-guest inclusion and hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions occurring in the SSAs, their morphology could be readily tuned by changing the ratio of the two components. Different self-assembly morphologies, such as spherical complex micelles, spindle-like complex micelles and multi-compartment vesicles, were obtained. Furthermore, basic cell experiments were performed to study the corresponding effects of the SSA shape on their biological properties. Compared to the other micelles, the spindle-like complex micelles exhibited enhanced cellular toxicity, uptake behaviors and apoptosis rates, and the spherical complex micelles exhibited poor performance. The performance of the multi-compartment vesicles was similar to that of the spindle-like complex micelles. The facile construction of these shape-regulated SSAs and their different cellular biological properties might be valuable in the controlled drug release field.

Abstract
Bioinspired nanostructures can be the ideal functional smart materials to bridge the fundamental biology, biomedicine and nanobiotechnology fields. Among them, short peptides are among the most preferred building blocks as they can self-assemble to form versatile supramolecular architectures displaying unique physical and chemical properties, including intriguing optical features. Herein, we discuss the progress made over the past few decades in the design and characterization of optical short peptide nanomaterials, focusing on their intrinsic photoluminescent and waveguiding performances, along with the diverse modulation strategies. We review the complicated optical properties and the advanced applications of photoactive short peptide self-assemblies, including photocatalysis, as well as photothermal and photodynamic therapy. The diverse advantages of photoactive short peptide self-assemblies, such as eco-friendliness, morphological and functional flexibility, and ease of preparation and modification, endow them with the capability to potentially serve as next-generation, bio-organic optical materials, allowing the bridging of the optics world and the nanobiotechnology field.

Abstract
Coil-rod-coil molecules, composed of flexible oligoether chains and conjugated rod blocks, have a well-known ability to produce various nanostructures in bulk and in aqueous solution. Herein we report the synthesis and self-assembly of coil-rod-coil molecules based on the sequence of the rod building block and the type of oligoether coil chain. These molecules consist of conjugated rod segments, which are composed of biphenyl, terphenyl, and acetylenic bonds, with chiral oligoether chains as flexible coil segments. The experimental results imply that the sequence of the rod segments markedly influences the self-assembled nanostructures of coil-rod-coil molecules in the bulk state, and that the type of coil chain strongly affects the morphology of the supramolecular nanoassemblies of these molecules in aqueous solution. In the bulk state, molecules 1a and 1b, which contain biphenyl units connected to the end of the coil segments self-organize into a hexagonal perforated lamellar phase, and oblique columnar and body-centred tetragonal structures, respectively. However, molecules 2a and 2b bearing terphenyl units linked to the end of the coil segments self-assemble into lamellar, hexagonal perforated lamellar and hexagonal columnar structures. In aqueous solution, rod-coil molecular isomers with linear chiral oligoether chains self-assemble into helical nanofibres of various lengths. Meanwhile, isomers with chiral oligoether dendron chains self-organize into sheet-like nanoribbons of different sizes.

Abstract
By regulating the composition of solvents, the assembled nanostructures of chiral molecules transformed from 0D nanospheres to 3D nanoflakes, which showed significantly amplified circularly polarized luminescence.
Achieving a higher dissymmetry factor is a crucial issue in developing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials. Here, by tailoring the solvent composition and the morphology of the same chiral emissive small molecules (R- or S-SPAn), circularly polarized emission with a boosted dissymmetry factor (two orders) was realized. It was found that by regulating the water fraction in the mixed THF/H2O, we were able to achieve kinetic control over association of chiral emissive R- or S-SPAn into various nanostructures with 0D nanospheres, 2D nanoflakes and 3D stacked nanoflakes. These nanostructures are all CPL active. Remarkably, the dissymmetry factors of the nanostructures were significantly enhanced compared to those of the molecules and further boosted in different morphologies, from ∼10–4 (0D nanospheres) to 10–3 (2D flake) to ∼10–2 (3D nanoflakes). The enlarged glum value could be assigned to a good packing induced strong luminescence of an excimer. This strategy provides an efficient way to fabricate higher dissymmetry factor CPL organic nanomaterials by only changing the supramolecular architectures while using the same chiral small molecules.
