Abstract
All activities of our daily life, of the nature surrounding us and of the entire society and its complex economic and political systems are affected by stimuli. Therefore, understanding stimuli-responsive principles in nature, biology, society, and in complex synthetic systems is fundamental to natural and life sciences. This invited Perspective attempts to organize, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time the stimuli-responsive principles of supramolecular organizations emerging from self-assembling and self-organizable dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers. Definitions of stimulus and stimuli from different fields of science are first discussed. Subsequently, we decided that supramolecular organizations of self-assembling and self-organizable dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers may fit best in the definition of stimuli from biology. After a brief historical introduction to the discovery and development of conventional and self-assembling and self-organizable dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers, a classification of stimuli-responsible principles as internal- and external-stimuli was made. Due to the enormous amount of literature on conventional dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers as well as on their self-assembling and self-organizable systems we decided to discuss stimuli-responsive principles only with examples from our laboratory. We apologize to all contributors to dendrimers and to the readers of this Perspective for this space-limited decision. Even after this decision, restrictions to a limited number of examples were required. In spite of this, we expect that this Perspective will provide a new way of thinking about stimuli in all fields of self-organized complex soft matter.

Abstract
The observation of complex, Frank-Kasper (FK) particle packings in diblock polymer melts has until recently been limited to low molecular weight, conformationally asymmetric polymers. We report temperature-dependent small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies of blends of a sphere-forming poly(styrene-block-1,4-butadiene) (SB) diblock polymer (Mn = 33.3 kg/mol, Đ = Mw/Mn = 1.08, fB = 0.18) with two different poly(1,4-butadiene) (B) homopolymer additives. When the B additive Mn is the same as that of the diblock core-forming B segment, these blends remarkably form tetrahedrally close-packed FK σ and Laves C14 and C15 phases with increasing B content. However, binary blends in which the B additive Mn is 60% of that of the diblock B segment form only the canonical body-centered cubic (BCC) particle packing and hexagonally-packed cylinders (HEXc). The observed phase behavior is rationalized in terms of "wet" and "dry" brush blending, whereby higher B Mn drives stronger localization of the homopolymer in the particle cores while preserving the interfacial area per SB diblock chain. The consequent packing constraints in these blends destabilize the BCC packing, and FK phases emerge as optimal minimal surface solutions to filling space at constant density while maximizing local particle sphericity.

Abstract
Small-angle X-ray scattering analyses reveal that the hydrated diblock oligomer n-C16H23(OCH2CH2)20-OH (C16E20 or Brij 58) forms lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) exhibiting face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC), Frank-Kasper (FK) A15, and cylindrical (HI) morphologies over the concentration range 30-65 wt % amphiphile. Heating LLCs comprising 54-59 wt % C16E20 drives the temperature-dependent phase transition sequence: A15 → BCC → HI. However, rapidly quenching the resulting HI phase from 70 to 25 °C initially forms a BCC phase that isothermally transforms into a complex, tetragonal FK σ phase comprising 30 quasispherical micelles. The metastability of this micellar σ phase is shown to depend on the sample cooling rate, thermal quench depth, and isothermal annealing temperature. We rationalize the preference for the A15 structure at 25 °C in terms of minimizing unfavorable water/hydrophobic contacts, while maximizing local particle sphericity. The symmetry breaking transition kinetics in these micellar LLCs apparently stem from the temperature-dependent activation barriers for phase nucleation and growth, which are intimately coupled to the time scales for micelle reconfiguration by amphiphile chain exchange and their spatial rearrangement. These findings highlight how thermal processing influences nucleation and growth of the self-assembled morphologies of intrinsically reconfigurable, soft spherical particles.

Abstract
Concentration-dependent supramolecular self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in water furnishes a variety of nanostructured lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs), which typically display high symmetry bicontinuous network and discontinuous micellar morphologies. Aqueous dispersions of soft spherical micelles derived from small molecule amphiphile hydration typically pack into exemplary body-centered cubic and closest-packed LLCs. However, investigations of hydrated mixtures of the ionic surfactant tetramethylammonium decanoate loaded with 40 wt % n-decane (TMADec-40) revealed the formation of a high symmetry bicontinuous double diamond LLC, as well as cubic C15 and hexagonal C14 Laves LLC phases that mirror the MgCu2 and MgZn2 intermetallic structure types, respectively. Detailed small-angle X-ray scattering analyses demonstrate that the complex C15 and C14 LLCs exhibit large unit cells, in which 12 or more ∼3-4 nm diameter micelles of multiple discrete sizes arrange into tetrahedral close packing arrangements with exceptional long-range translational order. The symmetry breaking that drives self-assembly into these low-symmetry LLC phases is rationalized in terms of a frustrated balance between maximizing counterion-mediated micellar cohesion within the ensemble of oil-swollen particles, while simultaneously optimizing local spherical particle symmetry to minimize molecular-level variations in surfactant solvation.

Abstract
The water-driven self-assembly of homologous dianionic surfactants into lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) is investigated, with a focus on understanding how surfactant headgroup and counterion identities guide supramolecular spherical mesophase selection. Using temperature-dependent small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we demonstrate that 2-alkylmalonate surfactants (CnMal-M2) with n = 8 (octyl) or 10 (decyl) and M = K+, Cs+, or (CH3)4N+ form both simple and complex micelle packings. Observed spherical morphologies include body-centered cubic (BCC), hexagonally closest-packed (HCP), and tetrahedrally closest-packed Frank-Kasper (FK) A15 and σ phases (Pm3(-)n and P42/mnm symmetries, respectively). Previously observed in only one other minimally hydrated surfactant, the σ phase is a rare LLC morphology comprising a low-symmetry unit cell containing 30 sub-2-nm quasispherical micelles, each of which belongs to one of five symmetry-equivalent classes with discrete aggregation numbers. Temperature versus water concentration phase maps for CnMal-M2 LLCs reveal that σ-phase formation depends sensitively on the size and polarizability of the surfactant counterion and the length of the surfactant alkyl tail. These observations are rationalized in terms of a delicate interplay between global packing symmetry and local particle symmetry, and the extent to which counterion-headgroup correlations enforce the latter structures in these LLC phases.

Abstract
Supramolecular self-assembly enables access to designer soft materials that typically exhibit high-symmetry packing arrangements, which optimize the interactions between their mesoscopic constituents over multiple length scales. We report the discovery of an ionic small molecule surfactant that undergoes water-induced self-assembly into spherical micelles, which pack into a previously unknown, low-symmetry lyotropic liquid crystalline Frank-Kasper σ phase. Small-angle X-ray scattering studies reveal that this complex phase is characterized by a gigantic tetragonal unit cell, in which 30 sub-2-nm quasispherical micelles of five discrete sizes are arranged into a tetrahedral close packing, with exceptional translational order over length scales exceeding 100 nm. Varying the relative concentrations of water and surfactant in these lyotropic phases also triggers formation of the related Frank-Kasper A15 sphere packing as well as a common body-centered cubic structure. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the symmetry breaking that drives the formation of the σ and A15 phases arises from minimization of local deviations in surfactant headgroup and counterion solvation to maintain a nearly spherical counterion atmosphere around each micelle, while maximizing counterion-mediated electrostatic cohesion among the ensemble of charged particles.

Abstract
Arising from the water-driven self-assembly of amphiphiles over generally narrow temperature and composition phase windows, aqueous lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) network phases are useful in applications as therapeutic delivery vehicles and templates for mesoporous material syntheses. While a clear set of amphiphile design rules that enables access to these intricate three-dimensional structures has yet to emerge, recent work indicates that bis(ammonium), bis(phosphonium), and dicarboxylate gemini ("twin tail") surfactants enable enhanced access to LLC network phases such as the double gyroid (G). In order to better understand the scope of this amphiphile design strategy, we investigated the synthesis and aqueous LLC self-assembly behaviors of a homologous series of quaternary gemini bis(ammonium) dichloride surfactants, in which we varied the position of the hydrophobic linker that connects the constituent single tail surfactants. These experiments demonstrate that the position of the linker directly impacts the maximum counterion-headgroup hydration capacity and the extent of counterion-headgroup association, all of which contribute to the aqueous lyotropic double gyroid network phase stability. Thus, judicious selection of the linker position in ionic gemini surfactants provides a new molecular design tool for manipulating LLC network phase stability.

Abstract
Ion-based materials were fabricated through ion pairing of planar receptor-anion complexes and cation modules as negatively and positively charged building blocks, respectively. Anion receptors that could not form soft materials by themselves provided mesophases upon anion binding and subsequent ion pairing with aliphatic cation modules. The mesogenic behaviors were affected by structural modification of both the cation module and the anion receptor. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements suggested the formation of columnar mesophases with contributions from charge-by-charge and charge-segregated arrangements. Flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements further revealed a higher charge-carrier mobility in the assembly with a large contribution from the charge-segregated arrangement than in the charge-by-charge-based assembly.

Abstract
Biological macromolecules are homochiral, composed of sequences of stereocenters possessing the same repeated absolute configuration. This chapter addresses the mechanism of homochiral selection in polypeptides. In particular, the relationship between the stereochemistry (L or D) of structurally distinct α-amino acids is explored. Through functionalization of Tyr-Xaa dipeptides with self-assembling dendrons, the effect of stereochemical sequence of the dipeptide on the thermodynamics of self-assembly and the resulting structural features can be quantified. The dendritic dipeptide approach effectively isolates the stereochemical information of the shortest sequence of stereochemical information possible in polypeptide, while simultaneously allowing for dendron driven tertiary and quaternary structure formation and subsequent transfer of chiral information from the dipeptide to the dendritic sheath. This approach elucidates a mechanism of selecting a homochiral relationship between dissimilar but neighboring α-amino acids through thermodynamic preference for homochirality in solution-phase and bulk supramolecular helical polymerization.
