Abstract
The association of platinum(ii)-based luminophores, which is caused by metal⋯metal and π-π stacking interactions, has been actively exploited in supramolecular construction of photofunctional molecular materials. Herein, we describe a series of bimetallic complexes [{Pt(C^N^/*N)}2(CN)][BAr4F], containing cyanido-bridged cyclometalated Pt(ii) chromophore fragments (HC^N^N = 6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine, (benzyltriazolyl)-phenylpyridine, and pyrazolyl-phenylpyridine; HC^N*N = N-pentyl-6-phenyl-N-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine; ^/* denote five/six-membered metallocycles). These compounds are intensely phosphorescent at room temperature showing quantum yields up to 0.73 in solution and 0.62 in the solid state, which are generally higher than those of the mononuclear relatives [Pt(C^N^/*N)(CN)]. The complex cations bearing sterically unhindered -C^N^N ligands readily assemble in solution, reaching the tetrameric species [{Pt(C^N^N)}2(CN)]44+ as suggested by diffusion NMR spectroscopy. The size of the aggregates can be regulated by the concentration, temperature, and polarity of the solvent that allows to alter the emission from green to near-IR. In the solid state, the maximum of low-energy luminescence is shifted up to 912 nm. The results show that photophysical properties of discrete complexes and the intermolecular aggregation can be substantially enhanced by utilizing the rigid bimetallic units giving rise to novel dynamic light emitting Pt(ii) systems.

Abstract
The pairing of charged π-electronic systems and their ordered arrangement have been achieved by iπ-iπ interactions that are derived from synergetically worked electrostatic and dispersion forces. Charged π-electronic systems that provide ion pairs as building blocks for assemblies have been prepared by diverse strategies for introducing charge in the core π-electronic systems. One method to prepare charged π-electronic systems is the use of covalent bonding that makes π-electronic ions and valence-mismatched metal complexes as well as protonated and deprotonated states. Noncovalent ion complexation is another method used to create π-electronic ions, particularly for anion binding, producing negatively charged π-electronic systems. Charged π-electronic systems afford various ion pairs, consisting of both cationic and anionic π-systems, depending on their combinations. Geometries and electronic states of the constituents in π-electronic ion pairs affect the photophysical properties and assembling modes. Recent progress in π-electronic ion pairs has revealed intriguing characteristics, including the transformation into radical pairs through electron transfer and the magnetic properties influenced by the countercations. Furthermore, the assembly states exhibit diversity as observed in crystals and soft materials including liquid-crystal mesophases. While the chemistry of ion pairs (salts) is well-established, the field of π-electronic ion pairs is relatively new; however, it holds great promise for future applications in novel materials and devices.

Abstract
Gold(III) complexes of C∧N∧C-coordinating 2,6-diphenylpyridine pincer ligands with arylacetylide co-ligands are known triplet emitters at room temperature. We have reported previously that by functionalizing both the pincer ligand and the phenylacetylene with alkoxy chains, liquid crystallinity may be induced, with the complexes showing columnar mesophases. We now report new derivatives in which the phenylacetylene incorporates one, two, or three 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoroalkyl chains. In terms of intermolecular interactions, solution 1H NMR experiments suggest that the semiperfluoroalkyl chains promote a parallel, head-to-head arrangement of neighboring molecules relative to one another, rather than the anti-parallel, head-to-tail orientation found for the all-hydrocarbon materials. In terms of the liquid crystal properties, the complexes show columnar phases, with the addition of the more rigid fluorocarbon chains leading to a stabilization of both the crystal and liquid crystal mesophases. Mesophase temperature ranges were also wider. Interestingly, the amphiphilic nature of these complexes is evident through the observation of a frustrated columnar nematic phase between a Colr and a Colh phase, an observation recently reported in detail for one compound (Liq. Cryst., 2022, doi: 10.1080/02678292.2021.1991017). While calculation shows that, despite the "electronic insulation" provided by the dimethylene spacer group in the semiperfluoroalkyl chains, a small hypsochromic shift in one component of the absorption band is anticipated, experimentally this effect is not observed in the overall absorption envelope. Complexes with substituents in the 3,3',4,4'-positions of the phenyl rings of the pincer ligand once more show higher-luminescence quantum yields than the analogues with substituents in the 4,4'-positions only, associated with the lower-energy-emissive state in the former. However, in contrast to the observations with all-hydrocarbon analogues, the luminescence quantum yield of the complexes with 3,3',4,4'-substitution on the pincer increases as the number of semiperfluoroalkyl chains on the phenylacetylide increases, from 20% (one chain) to 34% (three chains). External quantum efficiencies in fabricated OLED devices are, however, low, attributed to the poor dispersion in the host materials on account of the fluorinated chains.

Abstract
The self-assembly of chiral Pd12L24 metal-organic cages (MOCs) based on hydrophobic amino acids, including alanine (Ala), valine (Val), and leucine (Leu), into single-layered hollow spherical blackberry-type structures is triggered by nitrates through counterion-mediated attraction. In addition to nitrates, anionic N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) (Boc)-protected Ala, Val, and Leu were used as chiral counterions during the self-assembly of d-MOCs. Previously, we showed that l-Ala suppresses the self-assembly process of d-Pd12Ala24 but has no effect on l-Pd12Ala24, i.e., chiral discrimination. Here, we indicate when the amino acid used as the chiral counterion has a bulkier side group than the amino acid in the MOC structure, no chiral discrimination exists; otherwise, chiral discrimination exists. For example, Ala can induce chiral discrimination in all chiral MOCs, whereas Leu can induce chiral discrimination only in Pd12Leu24. Moreover, chiral anionic d- and l-alanine-based surfactants have no chiral discrimination, indicating that bulkier chiral counterions with more hydropohobic side groups can erase chiral discrimination.

Abstract
Platinum(II) complexes as supramolecular luminescent materials have received considerable attention due to their unique planar structures and fascinating photophysical properties. However, the molecular design of platinum(II) complexes with impressive circularly polarized luminescence properties still remains challenging and rarely explored. Herein, we reported a series of cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes with benzaldehyde and its derived imine-containing alkynyl ligands to investigate their phosphorescent, chiroptical, and self-assembly behaviors. An isodesmic growth mechanism is found for their temperature-dependent self-assembly process. The chiral sense of the enantiomers can be transferred from the chiral alkynyl ligands to the cyclometalated platinum(II) dipyridylbenzene N^C^N chromophore and further amplified through supramolecular assembly via intermolecular noncovalent interactions. Notably, distinctive phosphorescent properties and nanostructured morphologies have been found for enantiomers 4R and 4S. Their intriguing self-assembled nanostructures and phosphorescence behaviors are supported by crystal structure determination, 1H NMR, emission, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction studies.

Abstract
In this article, we report the successful molecular engineering of Ru bis-acetylides that led for the first time to a gelator and more specifically in aromatic solvents. By means of a nonlinear ligand and an extended aromatic platform, the bulky Ru bis-acetylides were able to self-assemble into lamellar structures as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in benzene, toluene, and o- and m-xylene, which in turn induced gelation of the solution with a critical gelation concentration of 30 mg/mL. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), variable temperature (VT)-NMR, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies evidenced that hydrogen bonds are mainly responsible for the self-organization. VT-NMR and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) have also suggested that the pro-ligand and the complex stack in different ways.

Abstract
Lactic acid-functionalized chiral fullerene (C60) molecules are used as models to understand chiral selection in macroionic solutions involving chiral macroions, chiral counterions, and/or chiral co-ions. With the addition of Zn2+ cations, the C60 macroions exhibit slow self-assembly behavior into hollow, spherical, blackberry-type structures, as confirmed by laser light scattering (LLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. Chiral counterions with high charge density show no selection to the chirality of AC60 macroions (LAC60 and DAC60) during their self-assembly process, while obvious chiral discrimination between the assemblies of LAC60 and DAC60 is observed when chiral counterions with low charge density are present. Compared with chiral counterions, chiral co-ions show weaker effects on chiral selection with larger amounts needed to trigger the chiral discrimination between LAC60 and DAC60. However, they can induce a higher degree of discrimination when abundant chiral co-ions are present in solution. Furthermore, the self-assembly of chiral AC60 macroions is fully suppressed by adding significant amounts of neutral molecules with opposite chirality. Thermodynamic parameters from isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) reveal that chiral selection is controlled by the ion pairing and the destruction of solvent shells between ions, and meanwhile originates from the delicate balance between electrostatic interaction and molecular chirality.

Abstract
In this paper, a detailed study on the gelation properties of a series of terpyridine and dipyrazine-pyridine ligands in the presence of metal salts is reported. To reveal the driving forces for the self-assembly of the metallogelators, their crystal structure is scrutinized. Inspired by the gelation of CuCl2[Terpy- nCN], where "Terpy- nCN" is 4'-( n-cyanophenyl)-2,2',6',2″-terpyridine, to look into the aggregation behavior of the related analogues, synthesis of CuCl2[Dipyz-py- nCN] derivatives, where "Dipyz-py- nCN" is 4-( n-cyanophenyl)-2,6-di-pyrazin-2-yl-pyridine, with the same cyano groups is performed. We then find that the Dipyz-py counterpart forms crystals when the molecules are stacked in an alternating way, instead of the unidirectional one required for gel formation. A crystal engineering approach is applied to determine the interactions that are favorable for fabricating a fiber network that is likely to be present in both crystalline and gel states and to find the interaction that disturbs this delicate balance between gelation and crystallization in coordination compounds; then, we conclude that the subtle balance between the molecular shape and intermolecular interactions is the origin of the gelation and crystallization of the current molecular system. This enables us to find the mutual connection among the structure of molecules, assembly behavior, and intermolecular interactions. With our experiments, a deep understanding of the balance among solution, gelation, and crystallization with subtle molecular diversions is provided.

Abstract
Systemic drug delivery methods such as oral or parenteral administration of free drugs possess relatively low treatment efficiency and marked adverse side effects. The use of nanoparticles for drug delivery in most cases substantially enhances drug efficacy, improves pharmacokinetics and drug release and limits their side effects. However, further enhancement in drug efficacy and significant limitation of adverse side effects can be achieved by specific targeting of nanocarrier-based delivery systems especially in combination with local administration. The present review describes major advantages and limitations of organic and inorganic nanocarriers or living cell-based drug and nucleic acid delivery systems. Among these, different nanoparticles, supramolecular gels, therapeutic cells as living drug carriers etc. have emerged as a new frontier in modern medicine.

Abstract
A series of newly designed and synthesized diacetylene-containing platinum(II) terpyridine complexes exhibited intriguing self-assembly properties. Facilitated by Pt⋅⋅⋅Pt, π-π stacking, hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions, these complexes are preorganized to readily undergo topochemical polymerization reactions upon photoirradiation. The in situ polymerization of the diacetylene units to form polydiacetylene, indicated by the UV/Vis spectral changes, gel permeation chromatography and dynamic light scattering, was found to alter their assembly behaviours, as revealed by TEM images.

Abstract
Serendipity still plays a role in gel discovery as the prediction of gel formation is difficult. This work explores the role of ligand, metal salt, solvent, and temperature in the formation of a low molecular mass carboxylate iron(iii) system. The influence of each component is discussed. The gels obtained were characterised using thermal analysis, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, microwave plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The response to external stimuli, including dye and gas sorption was examined.

Abstract
A new class of phosphole oxide based alkynylplatinum(II) 2,6-bis(N-alkylbenzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine (bzimpy) complexes were synthesized and characterized. Their self-assembly was driven by hydrophobic-hydrophobic and π-π stacking interactions. The self-assembly properties were also investigated by UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, which revealed that the alkyl-chain length of the bzimpy moiety and the π-surface area of the alkynyl ligand have significant influence on the overall self-assembly process. The alkyl-chain length also affected the morphological structures of the aggregates, which were studied by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract
A new class of platinum(ii) terpyridine complexes with a phosphole-derived bridging alkynyl ligand have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structure of complex 2 has been determined, and reveals a polymeric zig-zag chain structure with the existence of π-π stacking interactions. The photophysical properties have also been studied, with 3MLCT/3LLCT phosphorescence exhibited in degassed CH2Cl2; the energy of which is varied by the π-conjugation of the terpyridine ligands. The solvent-induced assembly of complex 1 has been studied. The incorporation of hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains has been shown to play an important role in assisting the formation of self-assembled nanostructures via Pt···Pt, π-π stacking and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions. It has been established that an isodesmic growth mechanism operates in polar media to give nanospheres, while fibrous networks originate from the self-assembly of the complexes in non-polar media, predominantly driven by π-π stacking interactions.

Abstract
A series of alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes with triethylene glycol units was synthesized, and their self-assembly properties were investigated in solution by UV-vis absorption, emission, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The aggregation behaviors of several water-soluble complexes were investigated in aqueous media. Some of them were found to give rise to uniform fibers, suggesting the important role that triethylene glycol units has in regulating their self-assembly properties. Further modifications of these structures through the incorporation of alkyl chains and changes in counter-anions have rendered the complexes more amphiphilic in nature, and the effect of their alkyl chain lengths was studied and optimized. The distinguishable color and spectral changes upon variations in solvent compositions might have potential applications in developing colorimetric and luminescent probes for the detection of microenvironment change. Furthermore, an optimum chain length, i.e., n-butyl chain, is required for the formation of stable and ordered nanostructures. This represents a delicate balance among Pt···Pt, π-π stacking, and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions and provides guiding principles into the construction of supramolecular materials with practical applications.

Abstract
The formation of supramolecular assemblies between [Pt(bzimpy-Et){C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CC6H4(CH2NMe3-4)}]Cl2 (1) and mPPE-Ala and the FRET properties of the ensemble have been revealed from the UV-vis absorption, steady-state emission and time-resolved emission decay studies. The two-component mPPE-Ala-1 ensemble has been employed in a "proof-of-principle" concept for label-free detection of G-quadruplex DNAs with the intramolecular propeller parallel folding topology, such as c-myc, in aqueous buffer solution. By the modulation of the aggregation/deaggregation of the polymer-metal complex aggregates and hence the FRET from the mPPE-Ala donor to the aggregated 1 as acceptor, the ensemble has been demonstrated for sensitive and selective label-free detection of c-myc via the monitoring of emission spectral changes of the ensemble. Ratiometric emission of the ensemble at 461 and 662 nm has been shown to distinguish the intramolecular propeller parallel G-quadruplex folding topology of c-myc from other G-quadruplex-forming sequences of different folding topologies, owing to the strong and specific interactions between c-myc and 1 as suggested by the UV-vis absorption and UV melting studies. In addition, the formation of high-order intermolecular multimeric G-quadruplexes from c-myc under molecular crowding conditions has been successfully probed by the ratiometric emission of the ensemble. The conformational and topological transition of human telomeric DNA from the mixed-hybrid form to the intramolecular propeller parallel form, as observed from the circular dichroism spectroscopy, has also been monitored by the ratiometric emission of the ensemble. The ability of the ensemble to detect these conformational and topological transitions of G-quadruplex DNAs has been rationalized by the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of the ensemble towards the intramolecular propeller parallel G-quadruplex DNAs and their high-order intermolecular multimers, which are due to the extra stabilization gained from Pt···Pt and π-π interactions in addition to the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions found in the polymer-metal complex aggregates.

Abstract
For the first time, supramolecular helical rods composed of an achiral metal complex and a complementary enantiopure monomer provided a good level of enantioinduction in asymmetric catalysis. Mixtures containing an achiral ligand monomer (BTA(PPh2), 2 mol %) and an enantiopure ligand-free comonomer (ester BTA, 2.5 mol %), both possessing a complementary benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) central unit, were investigated in combination with [Rh(cod)2]BArF (1 mol %) in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate. Notably, efficient chirality transfer occurs within the hydrogen-bonded coassemblies formed by BTA Ile and the intrinsically achiral catalytic rhodium catalyst, providing the hydrogenation product with up to 85% ee. The effect of the relative content of BTA Ile as compared to the ligand was investigated. The amount of chiral comonomer can be decreased down to one-fourth of that of the ligand without deteriorating the enantioselectivity of the reaction, while the enantioselectivity decreases for mixtures containing high amounts of BTA Ile. The nonlinear relationship between the amount of chiral comonomer and the enantioselectivity indicates that chirality amplification effects are at work in this catalytic system. Also, right-handed helical rods are formed upon co-assembly of the achiral rhodium complex of BTA(PPh2) and the enantiopure comonomer BTA Ile as confirmed by various spectroscopic and scattering techniques. Remarkably, the major enantiomer and the selectivity of the catalytic reaction are related to the handedness and the net helicity of the coassemblies, respectively. Further development of this class of catalysts built on chirally amplified helical scaffolds should contribute to the design of asymmetric catalysts operating with low amounts of chiral entities.

Abstract
Helical structures such as double helical DNA and the α-helical proteins found in biological systems are among the most beautiful natural structures. Chiral nanoarchitectonics, which is used here to describe the hierarchical formation and fabrication of chiral nanoarchitectures that can be observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), or transmission electron microscopy (TEM), is one of the most effective ways to mimic those natural chiral nanostructures. This article focuses on the formation, structure, and function of the most common chiral nanoarchitectures: nanoscale chiral twists and helices. The types of molecules that can be designed and how they can form hierarchical chiral nanoarchitectures are explored. In addition, new and unique functions such as amplified chiral sensing, chiral separation, biological effects, and circularly polarized luminescence associated with the chiral nanoarchitectures are discussed.

Abstract
Supramolecular gels are one kind of important soft material, in which small low-molecular weight compounds self-assemble into various nanostructures through non-covalent interactions to immobilize the solvents. While there are many important fundamental issues related to the gelation process, such as the design of the gelator, synergism of various non-covalent interactions between gelators, gelator-solvents, the balances between gelation and crystallization and so on, the self-assembled nanostructures forming during gelation are very interesting. These nanostructures have many unique features, such as the flexibility to respond to external stimuli, morphological diversity, ease of fabrication in large quantities, and so on. This review highlights some important features in tuning the nanostructures in the supramolecular gels from their morphological diversity, morphology control, morphology conversion, and morphology-depended functions.

Abstract
Three alkynylplatinum(ii) bipyridyl complexes in which two cholesterol groups are combined with a bipyridyl group via alkyl chains and amido bonds were designed and synthesized. The complexes have different lengths of ethylene glycol chains at the para-position of 1-phenylethyne. All three complexes can self-assemble to gel networks in DMSO, while only the morphology of 1a without an ether chain shows a well-defined right-handed helical structure in layer packing mode. However, 1c with long ethylene glycol chains forms perfect regular left-handed helical structures in aqueous ethanol solution while the volume percentage of water is less than 5% (v/v). As the ratio of water increases, the chirality changes from a left-handed helix to a right-handed helix and the packing mode alters from a monolayer structure to a hexagonal structure. As the ratio of water further increases to greater than 50% (v/v), the structure of the assembly finally transforms into bilayer vesicles. The process of the morphology transition is traced by circular dichroism spectra, powder X-ray diffraction, SEM and TEM images. The result indicates that a polar solvent (water) acts as a trigger to change the self-assembly of the chiral structures of the complex due to the strong hydrophobic interaction between cholesterol groups and the balance of the hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of the solvent environment.

Abstract
Molecular sensors able to detect ions are of interest due to their potential application in areas such as pollutant sequestration. Alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes with an amide-based receptor moiety have been synthesized and characterized. Their anion binding properties based on host-guest interactions have been examined with the use of UV-vis absorption and emission spectral titration studies. Spectral changes were observed for both complexes upon the addition of spherical and nonspherical anions. Their titration profiles were shown to be in good agreement with theoretical results predicting a 1:1 binding model, and the binding constants were determined from the experimental data. Drastic color changes from yellow to orange-red were observed for one of the complexes upon titration with fluoride (F(-)) ion in acetone. These changes were ascribed to the deprotonation of the amide functionalities induced by F(-) ion, and this was confirmed by the restoration of spectral changes upon addition of trifluoroacetic acid to the F(-) ion-complex mixture as well as by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data.

Abstract
The exploration of phosphorescent materials based on transition metal-ligand chromophoric complexes represents an important area of research in molecular materials. The knowledge and fundamental understanding of their photophysical properties offer a possible fine-tuning of their electronic absorption and luminescence properties. The strong propensity of d(8) transition metal compounds to form non-covalent metal···metal interactions facilitates supramolecular assembly and the formation of supramolecular nanostructures with interesting photophysical properties. The introduction of supramolecular assembly with hierarchical complexity involving non-covalent interactions could lead to research dimensions of unlimited possibilities and opportunities. This article briefly summarizes the latest progress on the use of d(8) metal-ligand chromophores as chemosensors, as exemplified by alkynylplatinum(II) complexes with emphasis on supramolecular assembly involving non-covalent interactions, and the recent advances in the utilization of d(8) metal-ligand phosphors, as exemplified by alkynylgold(III) system, for the exploration and development of phosphorescent OLEDs.
