Abstract
Supramolecular assembly of helical homopolymers to form stable chiral entities in water is highly valuable for creating chiral nanostructures and fabricating chiral biomaterials. Here we report on thermally induced supramolecular assembly of helical dendronized poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) in aqueous solutions, and their in-situ photo-crosslinking at elevated temperatures to afford crosslinked nano-assemblies with hierarchical structures and stabilized helicities. These helical dendronized homopolymers carry cinnamate-cored dendritic oligoethylene glycol (OEG) pendants, which exhibit characteristic thermoresponsive behavior. Their thermal aggregation confers hexagonal packing of the polymer chains, and simultaneously resulting in enhancement of their chiralities. Assisted by radial amphiphilicity and worm-like molecular geometry, these dendronized PPAs form supramolecular twisted fibers, spheroid particles or toroids via thermal aggregation. Through UV photoirradiation above their cloud points (Tcps), cycloaddition of cinnamate moieties from the dendritic pendants promotes intermolecular crosslinking of dendronized PPA chains within the thermal aggregates, and simultaneously, the dynamic morphologies and supramolecular chirality from the dendronized PPAs through thermally induced aggregation can be fixed. In addition, photo-crosslinking can be occurred solely within individual aggregates due to the protection of densely packed dendritic OEGs. Therefore, various crosslinked assemblies from the dendronized homopolymers with tailorable morphologies and stabilized chirality are fabricated by tuning their thermally induced dynamic aggregations followed by in-situ photo-crosslinking. We believe that this work paves a convenient route to fabricate chiral assemblies with stabilized morphologies and fixed chiralities from dynamic helical homopolymers through intermolecular crosslinking, which can be promising for various chiral applications.

Abstract
This Perspective is dedicated to the 25th Anniversary of Biomacromolecules. It provides a personal view on the developing field of the polymer and biology interface over the 25 years since the journal was launched by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This Perspective is meant to bridge an article published in the first issue of the journal and recent bioinspired developments in the laboratory of the corresponding author. The discovery of supramolecular spherical helices self-organizing into Frank-Kasper and quasicrystals as models of icosahedral viruses, as well as of columnar helical assemblies that mimic rodlike viruses by supramolecular dendrimers, is briefly presented. The transplant of these assemblies from supramolecular dendrimers to block copolymers, giant surfactants, and other self-organized soft matter follows. Amphiphilic self-assembling Janus dendrimers and glycodendrimers as mimics of biological membranes and their glycans are discussed. New concepts derived from them that evolved in the in vivo targeted delivery of mRNA with the simplest one-component synthetic vector systems are introduced. Some synthetic methodologies employed during the synthesis and self-assembly are explained. Unraveling bioinspired applications of novel materials concludes this brief 25th Anniversary Perspective of Biomacromolecules.

Abstract
AbstractThe helix reversal is a structural motif found in helical polymers in the solid state, but whose existence is elusive in solution. Herein, we have shown how the photochemical electrocyclization (PEC) of poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) can be used to determine not only the presence of helix reversals in polymer solution, but also to estimate the screw sense excess. To perform these studies, we used a library of well folded PPAs and different copolymers series made by enantiomeric comonomers that show chiral conflict effect. The results obtained indicate that the PEC of a PPA will depend on the helical scaffold adopted by the PPA backbone and on its folding degree. Then, from these studies it is possible to determine the screw sense excess of a PPA, highly important in applications such as chiral stationary phases in HPLC or asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
In helical polymers, helical sense induction is usually commanded by teleinduction mechanism, where the largest substituent of the chiral residue directly attached to the main chain is the one that commands the helical sense. In this work, different helical structures with different helical senses are induced in a helical polymer [poly-(phenylacetylene)] when the conformational composition of two different dihedral angles of a pendant group with more than two chiral residues is tamed. Thus, while the dihedral angle at chiral residue 1 [(R)- or (S)-alanine], attached to the backbone, produces an extended or bent conformation in the pendant resulting in two scaffolds with different stretching degree, the second dihedral angle at chiral residue 2 [(R)- or (S)-methoxyphenylacetamide] places the substituents of this chiral center in a different spatial orientation, originating opposite helical senses at the polymer that are induced through a total control of the "chiral overpass effect".

Abstract
Photochemical electrocyclization of poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is used for the structural elucidation of a polyene backbone. This method not only allows classification of PPAs in cis-cisoidal (ω1 <90°) or cis-transoidal structures (ω1 >90°), but also approximating ω1 . A PPA solution is illuminated with visible light and monitoring the photochemical electrocyclization of the PPA helix by measuring the ECD spectra at different times. PPAs with a cis-cisoidal structure show a reduction of the ECD signal of at least 50 % before 30 min of irradiation, while cis-transoidal helices need much longer time because the transoidal bond must be isomerized. The different cis-cisoidal and cis-transoidal helices require different times to decrease their ECD signal by 50 % (t1/2 ), depending on the degree of compression or stretching of the helix, establishing a relationship between the secondary structure adopted by PPA (ω1 ) and the time required to lose the ECD vinylic signal by light irradiation.

Dynamic poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) adopt helical structures with different elongation or helical senses depending on the types of pendants. Hence, a good knowledge of the parameters that define their structures becomes a key factor in the understanding of their properties and functions. Herein, the techniques used for the study of the secondary structure of PPAs using atomic-force microscopy (AFM) are presented, with special attention directed towards the methods used for the preparation of monolayers, and their consequences in the quality of the AFM images. Thus, monolayers formed by drop casting, spin coating followed by crystallization or annealing, Langmuir-Blodgett and Langmuir-Schaefer methods, onto highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) or mica, are described, together with the AFM images and the resulting helical structure obtained for different PPAs. Furthermore, some conclusions are drawn both on the adequacy of the different techniques for the formation of monolayers and on the solid supports utilized to elucidate the secondary structure of different PPAs.

Abstract
A pair of enantiomerically pure planar chiral phenylacetylenes, R- and S-2'-ethynyl-1,10-dioxa[10]-paracyclophane, were prepared and polymerized under the catalysis of Rh(nbd)BPh4 and MoCl5, respectively. The resultant polymers had high cis-structure contents and took dominant cis-transoid helical conformations with an excess screw sense as revealed by 1H NMR, Raman, polarimetry, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and computational simulation, manifesting the effective guidance of the planar chirality of monomers to the growth of the polymer main chains. The rigid ansa-structure of monomer unit made the helical structure of polymer backbone stable toward grinding and thermal treatments. The stereoselective interactions between these chiral polymers and the enantiomers of racemic ethynyl-1,10-dioxa[10]-paracyclophane and cobalt(III) acetylacetonate were observed. This work demonstrated the first planar-to-axial chirality transfer in the polymerization of acetylenes and offered a new strategy to prepare chiral materials based on optically active helical polymers.

Abstract
The chiral polymer poly-(R)-1 behaves in solution, despite its chiral pendants, as a dynamic axially racemic (i.e., 1 : 1) mixture of left- and right-handed helices, but its deposition on graphite by a Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) technique leads to a helical sense-selective packing that forms separate enantiomeric domains of left- and right-handed helical chains observed by high resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM). The polymer structure within these domains is very uniform, seldom altered by the presence of reversals, grouped always in contiguous pairs maintaining a single helical sense along the polymer chain. The LS deposition technique has been shown to be crucial to obtain good quality monolayers from poly-(R)-1 and other poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs: poly-2, poly-3 and poly-4) with short pendants, where spin coating, drop casting and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) failed, and suggests that this technique could be the method of choice for the preparation of 2D monolayers for high resolution AFM studies of PPAs with short pendants. Key helical parameters (i.e., sense, pitch, packing angle) are easily measured in this way.

Abstract
Self-organization of liquid crystalline (LC) polyacetylene derivatives (PAs) bearing hemiphasmid side-chains was investigated. The synthesized PAs can form smectic and columnar phases, depending on the constitutions of side chains. With a nanosegregation structure, the columnar phase of PAs takes a bundle of chains as its building block, of which the chain number is precisely determined by the volume fraction of the rigid component in PAs. The "precise multi-chain column" can be understood using a mean field theory, from which the deduced number of chains in the supramolecular column agrees well with the experimental result. This study reveals that the volume fraction of the rigid component plays a significant role in the self-organization of side-chain LC polymers, which is valuable for the rational design of macromolecules with precisely ordered structures.

Abstract
We report an efficient catalytic synthesis of "necklace" polymers, polyethylene (PE) denpols, utilizing the chain-walking polymerization (CWP). The approach is based on the design of a linear multivalent chain-walking catalyst that can initiate hyperbranched polymerization of ethylene for in situ formation of multiple dendritic PEs covalently tethered to the linear polymer backbone. The simplicity and efficiency of this approach makes it promising for facile preparation of large soluble nanostructures for various potential applications.

Abstract
The mixed ligand system 10 mol % NiCl(2)(dppp) with 5 mol % dppf was discovered to be an extremely efficient catalyst for the neopentylglycolborylation of a diversity of electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl chlorides. Optimization showed that 5 mol % catalyst with 10% dppf was even more efficient. These results highlight the complexity of the relationship between catalyst and coligand in Ni catalysis and the benefit of combinations of mixed ligand in catalyst design.

Abstract
Control of function through the primary structure of a molecule presents a significant challenge with valuable rewards for nanoscience. Dendritic building blocks encoded with information that defines their three-dimensional shape (e.g., flat-tapered or conical) and how they associate with each other are referred to as self-assembling dendrons. Self-organizable dendronized polymers possess a flat-tapered or conical self-assembling dendritic side chain on each repeat unit of a linear polymer backbone. When appended to a covalent polymer, the self-assembling dendrons direct a folding process (i.e., intramolecular self-assembly). Alternatively, intermolecular self-assembly of dendrons mediated by noncovalent interactions between apex groups can generate a supramolecular polymer backbone. Self-organization, as we refer to it, is the spontaneous formation of periodic and quasiperiodic arrays from supramolecular elements. Covalent and supramolecular polymers jacketed with self-assembling dendrons self-organize. The arrays are most often comprised of cylindrical or spherical objects. The shape of the object is determined by the primary structure of the dendronized polymer: the structure of the self-assembling dendron and the length of the polymer backbone. It is therefore possible to predictably generate building blocks for single-molecule nanotechnologies or arrays of supramolecules for bottom-up self-assembly. We exploit the self-organization of polymers jacketed with self-assembling dendrons to elucidate how primary structure determines the adopted conformation and fold (i.e., secondary and tertiary structure), how the supramolecules associate (i.e., quaternary structure), and their resulting functions. A combination of experimental techniques is employed to interrogate the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of the self-organizable dendronized polymers. We refer to the process by which we interpolate between the various levels of structural information to rationalize function as retrostructural analysis. Retrostructural analysis validates our hypothesis that the self-assembling dendrons induce a helical backbone conformation in cylindrical self-organizable dendronized polymers. This helical conformation mediates unprecedented functions. Self-organizable dendronized polymers have emerged as powerful building blocks for nanoscience by virtue of their dimensions and ability to self-organize. Discrete cylindrical and spherical structures with well-defined dimensions can be visualized and manipulated individually. More importantly, they provide a robust framework for elucidating functions available only at the nanoscale. This Account will highlight structures and functions generated from self-organizable dendronized polymers that enable integration of the nanoworld with its macroscopic universe. Emphasis is placed on those structures and functions derived from the induced helical backbone conformation of cylindrical self-organizable dendronized polymers.

Abstract
Self-organizable dendronized helical polymers provide a suitable architecture for constructing molecular nanomachines capable of expressing their motions at macroscopic length scales. Nanomechanical function is demonstrated by a library of self-organized helical dendronized cis-transoidal polyphenylacetylenes ( cis-PPAs) that possess a first-order phase transition from a hexagonal columnar lattice with internal order (varphi h (io)) to a hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase (varphi h). These polymers can function as nanomechanical actuators. When extruded as fibers, the self-organizable dendronized helical cis-PPAs form oriented bundles. Such fibers have been shown capable of work by displacing objects up to 250-times their mass. The helical cis-PPA backbone undergoes reversible extension and contraction on a single molecule length scale resulting from cisoid-to-transoid conformational isomerization of the cis-PPA. Furthermore, we clarify supramolecular structural properties necessary for the observed nanomechanical function.
