Abstract
Stabilizing liquids based on supramolecular assembly (non-covalent intermolecular interactions) has attracted significant interest, due to the increasing demand for soft, liquid-based devices where the shape of the liquid is far from the equilibrium spherical shape. The components comprising these interfacial assemblies must have sufficient binding energies to the interface to prevent their ejection from the interface when the assemblies are compressed. Here, we highlight recent advances in structuring liquids based on non-covalent intermolecular interactions. We describe some of the progress made that reveals structure-property relationships. In addition to treating advances, we discuss some of the limitations and provide a perspective on future directions to inspire further studies on structured liquids based on supramolecular assembly.

Yue X, Xu L, Lin H, Xu C, Li S. Construction of Pt/Pt-Au doped chiral nanostructures using arginine and porphyrin assemblies as templates for enantioselective photocatalysis. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2023; 68:1764-1771. [PMID: 37487791 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2023.07.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
Chiral nanomaterials with different functions have been widely developed, but the deep understanding of the structural effects of nanocatalysts on enantioselective photocatalytic efficiency is still highly demanded. Herein, Pt and Pt-Au-bimetal-doped chiral nanostructures with various morphologies and compositions are facilely constructed using L-/D-arginine (L-/D-Arg) and mono-sulfonate tetraphenyl porphyrin (H2TPPS) assemblies as chiral templates. Interestingly, these Pt and Pt-Au-doped chiral nanostructures, including nanorods (NR) and nanospheres (NS), can be well regulated by controlling pH, ionic strength, and reaction time of the assembling system of Arg and H2TPPS. More impressively, specific Au growth direction along the Pt-doped chiral NR (L-/D-Pt-NR) is observed (from tip to middle) during the preparation of Pt-Au-bimetal-doped chiral NR (L-/D-Pt-Au-NR) and their compositions can be finely controlled by simply adjusting the concentrations of HAuCl4. As expected, the chiral nanostructures exhibit superior enantioselective photocatalytic ability toward chiral organics under visible light: the oxidation rate of L-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by L-Pt-NR (or D-DOPA catalyzed by D-Pt-NR) is about 60% higher than that of L-DOPA catalyzed by D-Pt-NR (or L-DOPA catalyzed by D-Pt-NR). This study provides a facile strategy to construct chiral nanostructures for the photocatalytic conversion of chiral organics.

Abstract
Nanoparticle surfactants (NPSs) offer a powerful means to stabilize the oil-water interface and construct all-liquid devices with advanced functions. However, as the nanoparticle size decreases to molecular-scale, the binding energy of the NPS to the interface reduces significantly, leading to a dynamic adsorption of NPS and "liquid-like" state of the interfacial assemblies. Here, by using the host-guest recognition between a water-soluble small molecule, cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and an oil-soluble polymer ligand, methyl viologen-terminated polystyrene, a supramolecular NPS model, termed CB[7] surfactant, is described. CB[7] surfactants form and assemble rapidly at the oil-water interface, generating an elastic film with excellent mechanical properties. The binding energy of CB[7] surfactant to the interface is sufficiently high to hold it in a jammed state, transforming the interfacial assemblies from a "liquid-like" to "solid-like" state, enabling the structuring of liquids. With CB[7] surfactants as the emulsifier, O/W, W/O and O/W/O emulsions can be prepared in one step. Owing to the guest-competitive responsiveness of CB[7] surfactants, the assembly/disassembly and jamming/unjamming of CB[7] surfactants can be well controlled, leading to the reconfiguration of all-liquid constructs.

Abstract
Currently, organic semiconductors (OSs) are widely used as active components in practical devices related to energy storage and conversion, optoelectronics, catalysis, and biological sensors, etc. To satisfy the actual requirements of different types of devices, chemical structure design and self-assembly process control have been synergistically performed. The morphology and other basic properties of multiscale OS components are governed on a broad scale from nanometers to macroscopic micrometers. Herein, the up-to-date design strategies for fabricating multiscale OSs are comprehensively reviewed. Related representative works are introduced, applications in practical devices are discussed, and future research directions are presented. Design strategies combining the advances in organic synthetic chemistry and supramolecular assembly technology perform an integral role in the development of a new generation of multiscale OSs.

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.
