Abstract
The last few decades have witnessed significant progress in synthetic macromolecular chemistry, which can provide access to diverse macromolecules with varying structural complexities, topology and functionalities, bringing us closer to the aim of controlling soft matter material properties with molecular precision. To reach this goal, the development of advanced analytical techniques, allowing for micro-, molecular level and real-time investigation, is essential. Due to their appealing features, including high sensitivity, large contrast, fast and real-time response, as well as non-invasive characteristics, fluorescence-based techniques have emerged as a powerful tool for macromolecular characterisation to provide detailed information and give new and deep insights beyond those offered by commonly applied analytical methods. Herein, we critically examine how fluorescence phenomena, principles and techniques can be effectively exploited to characterise macromolecules and soft matter materials and to further unravel their constitution, by highlighting representative examples of recent advances across major areas of polymer and materials science, ranging from polymer molecular weight and conversion, architecture, conformation to polymer self-assembly to surfaces, gels and 3D printing. Finally, we discuss the opportunities for fluorescence-readout to further advance the development of macromolecules, leading to the design of polymers and soft matter materials with pre-determined and adaptable properties.

Abstract
Photochemical ligation has become an indispensable tool for applications that require spatially addressable functionalisation, both in biology and materials science. Interestingly, a number of photochemical ligations result in fluorescent products, enabling a self-reporting function that provides almost instantaneous visual feedback of the reaction's progress and efficiency. Perhaps no other chemical reaction system allows control in space and time to the same extent, while concomitantly providing inherent feedback with regard to reaction success and location. While photoactivable fluorescent properties have been widely used in biology for imaging purposes, the expansion of the array of photochemical reactions has further enabled its utility in soft matter materials. Herein, we concisely summarise the key developments of fluorogenic-forming photoligation systems and their emerging applications in both biology and materials science. We further summarise the current challenges and future opportunities of exploiting fluorescent self-reporting reactions in a wide array of chemical disciplines.

Abstract
Self-reporting smart materials are highly relevant in modern soft matter materials science, as they allow for the autonomous detection of changes in synthetic polymers, materials, and composites. Despite critical advantages of such materials, for example, prolonged lifetime or prevention of disastrous material failures, they have gained much less attention than self-healing materials. However, as diagnosis is critical for any therapy, it is of the utmost importance to report the existence of system changes and their exact location to prevent them from spreading. Thus, we herein critically review the chemistry of self-reporting soft matter materials systems and highlight how current challenges and limitations may be overcome by successfully transferring self-reporting research concepts from the laboratory to the real world. Especially in the space of diagnostic self-reporting systems, the recent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic indicates an urgent need for such concepts that may be able to detect the presence of viruses or bacteria on and within materials in a self-reporting fashion.

Abstract
The merging of click chemistry with discrete photochemical processes has led to the creation of a new class of click reactions, collectively known as photoclick chemistry. These light-triggered click reactions allow the synthesis of diverse organic structures in a rapid and precise manner under mild conditions. Because light offers unparalleled spatiotemporal control over the generation of the reactive intermediates, photoclick chemistry has become an indispensable tool for a wide range of spatially addressable applications including surface functionalization, polymer conjugation and cross-linking, and biomolecular labeling in the native cellular environment. Over the past decade, a growing number of photoclick reactions have been developed, especially those based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and Diels-Alder reactions owing to their excellent reaction kinetics, selectivity, and biocompatibility. This review summarizes the recent advances in the development of photoclick reactions and their applications in chemical biology and materials science. A particular emphasis is placed on the historical contexts and mechanistic insights into each of the selected reactions. The in-depth discussion presented here should stimulate further development of the field, including the design of new photoactivation modalities, the continuous expansion of λ-orthogonal tandem photoclick chemistry, and the innovative use of these unique tools in bioconjugation and nanomaterial synthesis.

Abstract
The need for alternative, complementary approaches to enable C-C bond formation within organic chemistry is an on-going challenge in the area. Of particular relevance are transformations that proceed in the absence of transition-metal reagents. In the current study, we report a comprehensive investigation of the coupling of nitrile imines and aryl boronic acids as an approach towards sustainable C-C bond formation. In situ generation of the highly reactive 1,3-dipole facilitates a Petasis-Mannich-type coupling via a nucleophilic boronate complex. The introduction of hydrazonyl chlorides as a complementary nitrile imine source to the 2,5-tetrazoles previously reported by our laboratory further broadens the scope of the approach. Additionally, we exemplify for the first time the extension of this protocol into another 1,3-dipole, through the synthesis of aryl ketone oximes from aryl boronic acids and nitrile N-oxides.

Abstract
Nanogels (NG) are among the most ideal cytoplasmic protein delivery vehicles; however, their performance is suboptimal, partly owing to relatively big size, poor cell uptake, and endosomal entrapment. Here, we developed small, traceable, endosome-disrupting, and bioresponsive hyaluronic acid NG (HA-NG) for CD44-targeted intracellular delivery of therapeutic proteins. With microfluidics and catalyst-free photo-click cross-linking, HA-NG with hydrodynamic diameters of ca. 80 and 150 nm, strong green fluorescence and efficient loading of various proteins including saporin (Sap), cytochrome C, herceptin, immunoglobulin G (IgG), and bovine serum albumin could be fabricated. Interestingly, 80 nm-sized HA-NG revealed clearly better cellular uptake than its 150 nm counterparts in both CD44-negative U87 cancer cells and CD44-positive 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, small NG exhibited accelerated endosomal escape, which was further boosted by introducing GALA, a pH-sensitive fusogenic peptide. Accordingly, Sap-loaded small and GALA-functionalized HA-NG showed the highest cytotoxicity in CD44-positive MDA-MB-231, 4T1, A549, and SMMC-7721 cancer cells. The biodistribution studies demonstrated that 80 nm-sized HA-NG displayed significantly greater tumor uptake as well as penetration in MDA-MB-231 human breast tumor xenografts than its 150 nm counterparts, whereas the introduction of GALA had no detrimental effect on tumor accumulation. Small, endosome-disrupting, and bioresponsive HA-NG with easy and controlled fabrication hold a great potential for targeted protein therapy.

Abstract
Bioinspiration has emerged as an important design principle in the rapidly growing field of materials science and especially its subarea, soft matter science. For example, biological cells form hierarchically organized tissues that not only are optimized and designed for durability, but also have to adapt to their external environment, undergo self-repair, and perform many highly complex functions. Being able to create artificial soft materials that mimic those highly complex functions will enable future materials applications. Herein, soft matter technologies that are used to realize bioinspired material structures are described, and potential pathways to integrate these into a comprehensive soft matter research environment are addressed. Solutions become available because soft matter technologies are benefitting from the synergies between organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and materials science.

Abstract
Emissive cross-linkers are of special interest for polymer science because of their ability to endow polymer networks with luminescent properties. Methylammonium lead halide perovskite nanoparticles (MAPbCl xBr3- x NPs) are extensively explored for optical and optoelectronic applications. In this work, MAPbCl xBr3- x NPs with cross-linkable and polymerizable ligands are successfully prepared as new emissive cross-linkers for polymer networks. Commercially available reagent 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride (AMHCl) can act as a ligand to stabilize MAPbBr3 NPs in solution. Compared with traditional ligands (oleic acid and oleylamine), AMHCl retains the architecture of perovskite effectively and affords polymerizable groups (vinyl) on the surface of perovskites. The as-prepared MAPbCl xBr3- x NPs can serve as cross-linkers in the radical polymerization of (meth)acrylates by UV-light to form polymer networks. Meanwhile, such cross-linkable emitters exhibit bright luminescence and color-tunability at room temperature, attributed by a unique halide exchange of perovskites between CH3NH3Br and AMHCl, which provides the polymer networks with varied emissive bands. These perovskite-crosslinked networks showed high air stability, water stability, and prominent photoluminescence quantum yields. On the basis of these excellent properties, white-light-emitting diodes were successfully fabricated from these perovskite-crosslinked composites with color-coordinate values at (0.316, 0.315), very close to the standard coordinates of white light. This work elucidates a new and convenient technique to convert nanocrystals into luminescent cross-linkers to build functional polymeric networks for technological applications.
