Abstract
Low-molecular-weight (LMW) gelators are a versatile class of compounds able to self-assemble and to form supramolecular materials, such as gels. The use of LMW peptides to produce these gels shows many advantages, because of their wide structure tunability, the low-cost and effective synthesis, and the in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradability, which makes them optimal candidates for release and delivery applications. In addition, in these materials, the binding of the hosts may occur through a variety of noncovalent interactions, which are also the main factors responsible for the self-assembly of the gelators, and through specific interactions with the fibers or the pores of the gel matrix. This review aims to report LMW gels based on amino acid and peptide derivatives used for the release of many different species (drugs, fragrances, dyes, proteins, and cells) with a focus on the possible strategies to incorporate the cargo in these materials, and to demonstrate how versatile these self-assembled materials are in several applications.

Abstract
A mechanistic understanding of the principles governing the hierarchical organization of supramolecular polymers offers a paradigm for tailoring synthetic molecular architectures at the nano to micrometric scales. Herein, the unconventional crystal growth mechanism of a supramolecular polymer of superbenzene(coronene)-diphenylalanine conjugate (Cr-FFOEt ) is demonstrated. 3D electron diffraction (3D ED), a technique underexplored in supramolecular chemistry, is effectively utilized to gain a molecular-level understanding of the gradual growth of the initially formed poorly crystalline hairy, fibril-like supramolecular polymers into the ribbon-like crystallites. The further evolution of these nanosized flat ribbons into microcrystals by oriented attachment and lateral fusion is probed by time-resolved microscopy and electron diffraction. The gradual morphological and structural changes reveal the nonclassical crystal growth pathway, where the balance of strong and weak intermolecular interactions led to a structure beyond the nanoscale. The role of distinct π-stacking and H-bonding interactions that drive the nonclassical crystallization process of Cr-FFOEt supramolecular polymers is analyzed in comparison to analogous molecules, Py-FFOEt and Cr-FF forming helical and twisted fibers, respectively. Furthermore, the Cr-FFOEt crystals formed through nonclassical crystallization are found to improve the functional properties.

Abstract
Peptide nanotechnology has currently bridged the gap between materials and biological worlds. Bioinspired self-assembly of short-peptide building blocks helps take the leap from molecules to materials by taking inspiration from nature. Owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, high water content, and extracellular matrix mimicking fibrous morphology, hydrogels engineered from the self-assembly of short peptides exemplify the actualization of peptide nanotechnology into biomedical products. However, the weak mechanical property of these hydrogels jeopardizes their practical applications. Moreover, their functional diversity is limited since they comprise only one building block. Nanoengineering the networks of these hydrogels by incorporating small molecules, polymers, and inorganic/carbon nanomaterials can augment the mechanical properties while retaining their dynamic supramolecular nature. These additives interact with the peptide building blocks supramolecularly and may enhance the branching of the networks via coassembly or crystallographic mismatch. This phenomenon expands the functional diversity of these hydrogels by synergistically combining the attributes of the individual building blocks. This review highlights such nanoengineered peptide hydrogels and their applications in biotechnology. We have included exemplary works on supramolecular modification of the peptide hydrogel networks by integrating other small molecules, synthetic/biopolymers, conductive polymers, and inorganic/carbon nanomaterials and shed light on their various utilities focusing on biotechnology. We finally envision some future prospects in this highly active field of research.

Abstract
The self-assembly and structural and functional properties of peptide conjugates containing bulky terminal aromatic substituents are reviewed with a particular focus on bioactivity. Terminal moieties include Fmoc [fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl], naphthalene, pyrene, naproxen, diimides of naphthalene or pyrene, and others. These provide a driving force for self-assembly due to π-stacking and hydrophobic interactions, in addition to the hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and other forces between short peptides. The balance of these interactions leads to a propensity to self-assembly, even for conjugates to single amino acids. The hybrid molecules often form hydrogels built from a network of β-sheet fibrils. The properties of these as biomaterials to support cell culture, or in the development of molecules that can assemble in cells (in response to cellular enzymes, or otherwise) with a range of fascinating bioactivities such as anticancer or antimicrobial activity, are highlighted. In addition, applications of hydrogels as slow-release drug delivery systems and in catalysis and other applications are discussed. The aromatic nature of the substituents also provides a diversity of interesting optoelectronic properties that have been demonstrated in the literature, and an overview of this is also provided. Also discussed are coassembly and enzyme-instructed self-assembly which enable precise tuning and (stimulus-responsive) functionalization of peptide nanostructures.

Abstract
The intermolecular forces among volatile organic molecules are usually weaker than water, making them more difficult to absorb. We prepared alkaline earth cations-bridged polyoxometalate nanoclusters subnanometer nanowires through a facile room-temperature reaction. The nanowires can form three-dimensional networks, trapping more than 10 kinds of volatile organic liquids effectively with the mass fraction of nanowires as low as 0.53%. A series of freestanding, elastic, and stable organogels were obtained. We prepared gels that encapsulate organic liquids at the kilogram scale. Through removing solvents in gels by means of distillation and centrifugation, the nanowires can be recycled more than 10 times. This method could be applied to the effective trapping and recovery of organic liquids.

Abstract
Nowadays, gels are formed by small molecules self-assembling under the influence of various non-covalent interactions. They can be easily perturbed, which allows for the careful tweaking of their properties. They are kinetically confined, and following production, they usually do not demonstrate time-variable changes in material properties. When exposed to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, light, enzymes, redox, and chemical analytes, such materials may become switchable, leading to the reconfiguration of the gel matrix into a different type of network. The transformations allow gel-to-gel transitions, while the changes in the molecular aggregation result in the alteration of the physical and chemical properties of the gel with time. Here, we discuss various methods used to achieve gel-to-gel transitions by modifying a pre-formed gel material through external perturbation. The dynamic modification of gels allows the construction of an array of gels with various properties from a single material, which eventually extends the limit of application of the gels.

Abstract
Blending two gelators with different chemistries (12-hydroxystearic acid and a bis-urea derivative, Millithix MT-800) was used to impart shape stability to CrodaTherm 29, a bio-based phase change material (PCM), melting/crystallizing at near-ambient temperature. The gelators immobilized the PCM by forming an interpenetrating fibrillar network. 15 wt % concentration of the gelators was found to be effective in preventing liquid PCM leakage. In order to improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity (TC) of the PCM, gelation of suspensions of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) in a molten material was done at concentrations exceeding their percolation thresholds. Compared to pristine PCM, the gelled PCM containing 3.0 wt % of GnPs demonstrated a shorter crystallization time, ∼1.5-fold increase in strength, improved stability, and ∼65% increase in TC. At the same time, PCM filled with up to 0.6 wt % of MWCNTs had diminished strength and increased leakage with a slight TC improvement. Gelation of PCM did not significantly alter its thermal behavior, but it did change its crystalline morphology. The developed shape-stable PCMs may have a wide range of applications in ambient temperature solar-thermal installations, for example, temperature-controlled greenhouses, net zero-energy buildings, and water heaters.

Abstract
The design and development of soft biomaterials based on amino acid and short-peptide have gained much attention due to their potent biomedical applications. A slight alteration in the side-chain of single amino acid in a peptide or protein sequence has a huge impact on the structure and function. Phenylalanine is one of the most studied amino acids, which contains an aromatic phenyl group connected through a flexible -CH2 - unit. In this work, we have examined whether flexibility and aromatic functionality of phenylalanine (Phe) are important in gel formation of model gelator Fmoc-Phe-OH or not. To examine this hypothesis, we synthesized Fmoc-derivatives of three analogues unnatural amino acids including cyclohexylalanine, phenylglycine, and homophenylalanine; which are slightly varied from Phe. Interestingly, all these three new analogues formed hydrogels in phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 having different gelation efficacy and kinetics. This study suggests that the presence of aromatic side-chain and flexibility are not mandatory for the gelation of this model gelator. Newly synthesized unnatural amino acid derivatives have also exhibited promising antimicrobial activity towards gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting cellular oxygen consumption. We further determined the biocompatibility of these amino acid derivatives by using a hemolysis assay on human blood cells. Overall studies described the development of single amino acid-based new injectable biomaterials with improved antimicrobial activity by the slight alteration in the side-chain of amino acid.

Abstract
Peptide self-assembly is gathering much attention due to the precise control it provides for the arrangement of functional moieties for the fabrication of advanced functional materials. It is desirable to use a physical, chemical, or biological trigger that can control the self-assembly process. In the current article, we have applied an enzyme to induce the peptide self-assembly of an aromatic peptide amphiphile, which modulates the supramolecular order in the final gel phase material. We accessed diverse peptide hydrogels from identical gelator concentrations by simply changing the enzyme concentration, which controlled the reaction kinetics and influenced the dynamics of self-assembly. Depending upon the concentration of the enzyme, a bell-shaped relationship was observed in terms of intermolecular interactions, morphology, and properties of the final gel phase material. The access of non-equilibrium structures was further demonstrated by fluorescence emission spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and rheology. This strategy is applied to construct a charge-transfer hydrogel by doping the donor hydrogel with an acceptor moiety, which exhibits efficient energy transfer. Interestingly, such structural control at the nanoscopic level can further tune the energy-transfer efficiency by simply modulating the enzyme concentration.

Abstract
The synthesis, photophysical investigations, and organogel formation of pyrene-phenyl acrylonitriles (1-6) bearing mono-, di-, and trichiral and racemic substitutions were studied. The molecules self-assemble in water and show remarkable emission wavelength and intensity changes associated with distinct color changes. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (Cryo-SEM) images show the formation of uniform nanoaggregates for the monosubstituted derivatives and network-like structures for di- and trisubstituted derivatives. The favorable π-π stacking ability of the coplanar pyrene ring, steric restrictions due to the cyano group, and beneficial noncovalent interactions from the citronellol moiety allow the molecules to form excellent organogels with fibrous and twisted ribbon morphology for the racemic and chiral derivatives. The organogels based on small molecules could be of high relevance for potential investigations involving soft biological matter.

Abstract
The self-assembly of a series of low molecular weight gelator dipeptides containing para amino benzoic acid has been studied in mechanistic detail. All four dipeptides form phase selective, thermoreversible, rigid gels in a large range of organic solvents and fuels such as petrol, diesel, and kerosene. The mechanism of self-assembly has been dissected in detail using several experimental techniques. Self-assembly is driven mainly by aromatic and hydrophobic interactions. Hydrogen bonding groups, though present, seem to make a trivial contribution towards the self-assembly process. Phase selective gelation abilities in fuels in the presence of acidic, basic and saline conditions, together with the easy recovery of fuels from the organogels, render the peptides potential candidates for addressing oil-spill recovery. Being electron rich systems, these organogelators can absorb cationic dyes with >90% efficiency from wastewater. Finally, conducting biomaterials have been synthesized by the insertion of reduced graphene oxide into the organogels. Such small peptide based gelator molecules, being economically viable and easy to prepare, in addition to being multifunctional, are a hot area of research in the field of materials chemistry. The self-assembly of a series of low molecular weight gelator dipeptides containing para amino benzoic acid has been studied in mechanistic detail.![]()

Unusual Fluorescence Behavior of Pyrene-Amine Containing Dendrimers. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24224083.

Abstract
A new class of pyrene-based dendrimers, characterized by the presence of a 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) unit as the core, was studied by SSF (steady-state fluorescence) and SPC (single-photon counting fluorescence). The photophysical behavior of these dendrimers was studied in THF, DMF and DMSO solution. The typical signals for pyrene-labeled molecules were recorded in each solvent, showing the representative fluorescence spectra: the corresponding emissions of monomer and excimer of the pyrene chromophore are observed. Unexpectedly, the typical quenching of tertiary amine on the pyrene emission was not observed in these dendrimers. Quenching studies were performed by adding up to 3 equivalents of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). To our knowledge, this is the first report of pyrene's unquenching behavior by a tertiary amine.

Abstract
Dicyclohexyl urea (DCU) derivatives of amino acids Fmoc-Phe-DCU (M1), Fmoc-Phg-DCU (M2) and Fmoc-Gaba-DCU (M3) have been shown to form phase selective, thermoreversible and mechanically robust gels in a large range of organic solvents. This is the first report of low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) from DCU derivatives of amino acids. The self-assembly mechanism of the organogels has been probed using concentration dependent 1H NMR, DMSO titration 1H NMR, fluorescence, FTIR, PXRD and FESEM techniques. Self-assembly leading to gelation process is mainly driven by hydrophobicity and π-π stacking interactions in between Fmoc groups. Interestingly, the gels can absorb several kinds of organic dyes efficiently and can be reused for dye absorption for multiple cycles. Additionally, M1-M3 act as sensors for anions like fluoride, acetate and hydroxide, for which they have specific fluorescence response. Gel formation by M1-M3 is completely arrested in the presence of fluoride. The possible binding mode of fluoride has been delineated using DFT studies. Calculations suggest, involvement of urea NH in a six membered intramolecular hydrogen bond, rendering it unavailable for fluoride binding. Backbone -NH of the amino acids of M1-M3 is responsible for fluoride binding. The reported small, economically viable, synthetically facile molecules not only enrich the repertoire of LMWG molecules, but can have multifaceted applications.

Abstract
Mixing supramolecular gels based on enantiomers leads to re-arrangement of gel fibers at the molecular level, which results in more favorable packing and tunable properties. Bis(urea) compounds tagged with a phenylalanine methyl ester in racemic and enantiopure forms were synthesized. Both enantiopure and racemate compounds formed gels in a wide range of solvents and the racemate (1-rac) formed a stronger gel network compared with the enantiomers. The gel (1R+1S) obtained by mixing equimolar amount of enantiomers (1R and 1S) showed enhanced mechanical and thermal stability compared to enantiomers and racemate gels. The preservation of chirality in these compounds was analyzed by circular dichroism and optical rotation measurements. Analysis of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images revealed that the network in the mixed gel is a combination of enantiomers and racemate fibers, which was further supported by solid-state NMR. The analysis of the packing in xerogels by solid-state NMR spectra and the existence of twisted-tape morphology in SEM and AFM images confirmed the presence of both self-sorted and co-assembled fibers in mixed gel. The enhanced thermal and mechanical strength may be attributed to the enhanced intermolecular forces between the racemate and the enantiomer and the combination of both self-sorted and co-assembled enantiomers in the mixed gel.

Abstract
Visualizing the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in cell bioactivities in three-dimensional (3D) view is highly important for in-depth understanding of fundamental physiological issues in various in vitro experiments. Using current designs it is difficult to produce 3D biomimetic ECM with intrinsic fluorescence under non-invasive near-infrared excitation. Herein, we have designed and synthesized a series of non-conventional coumarin-derived hydrogelators, which can self-assemble to form nanofibrous 3D supramolecular hydrogels through C-HO bonds and be excited by two-photon absorption, ensuring the direct and dynamic visualization of cell-matrix interactions with high resolution images in a 3D environment. Real-time monitoring of ECM-regulated dynamic cell behaviours is highly desirable for future basic and applied research.

Abstract
The modification of graphene with biomacromolecules like DNA, protein, peptide, and others extends the potential applications of graphene materials in various fields. The bound biomacromolecules could improve the biocompatibility and bio-recognition ability of graphene-based nanocomposites, therefore could greatly enhance their biosensing performances on both selectivity and sensitivity. In this review, we presented a comprehensive introduction and discussion on recent advance in the synthesis and biosensor applications of graphene-peptide nanocomposites. The biofunctionalization of graphene with specifically designed peptides, and the synthesis strategies of graphene-peptide (monomer, nanofibrils, and nanotubes) nanocomposites were demonstrated. On the other hand, the fabrication of graphene-peptide nanocomposite based biosensor architectures for electrochemical, fluorescent, electronic, and spectroscopic biosensing were further presented. This review includes nearly all the studies on the fabrication and applications of graphene-peptide based biosensors recently, which will promote the future developments of graphene-based biosensors in biomedical detection and environmental analysis.

Abstract
Among several methodologies to improve the solution processing of graphene-based materials, noncovalent functionalization has been considered as the simplest and nondestructive method. Herein, we show that molecular self-assembly process can be used as a useful tool to exfoliate reduced graphene oxide (RGO), resulting in hybrid materials with improved physical properties. Upon interacting with a π-gelator, the dispersing ability of the RGO increased significantly in most of nonpolar and polar aprotic solvents when compared to the bare one. The amount of RGO dispersed was 1.7-1.8 mg mL-1 in solvents such as toluene, o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Morphological studies revealed that aggregation of π-gelator over RGO helps to exfoliate graphene layers to remain as individual sheets with higher surface area. Experimental studies revealed enhanced surface area (250 m2 g-1) and better conductivity (3.7 S m-1) of the hybrid materials with 30% of RGO content resulting in excellent electrochemical performance (specific capacitance of 181 F g-1) as electrodes for supercapacitors.

Abstract
In the present work, we have explored the use of the triphenylmethyl group, a commonly used protecting group for primary alcohols as a gelling structural component in the design of molecular gelators. We synthesized a small library of triphenylmethyl derivatives of simple primary alcohols and studied their gelation properties in different solvents. Gelation efficiency for some of the derivatives was moderate to excellent with a minimum gelation concentration ranging between 0.5–4.0% w/v and a gel–sol transition temperature range of 31–75 °C. 1,8-Bis(trityloxy)octane, the ditrityl derivative of 1,8-octanediol was the most efficient organogelator. Detailed characterizations of the gel were carried out using scanning electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, rheology and powder XRD techniques. This gel also showed a good absorption profile for a water soluble dye. Given the non-polar nature of this molecule, gel formation is likely to be mediated by hydrophobic interactions between the triphenylmethyl moieties and alkyl chains. Possible self-assembled packing arrangements in the gel state for 1,8-bis(trityloxy)octane and (hexadecyloxymethanetriyl)tribenzene are presented. Results from this study strongly indicate that triphenylmethyl group is a promising gelling structural unit which may be further exploited in the design of small molecule based gelators.

Abstract
Two pyrene based organogelators in which the pyrene moiety has been linked to the diphenylalanine dipeptide have been synthesized. We show how the solvent can tune both the morphology and the optical properties of the organogels: spherical aggregates with quenched emission were obtained in acetonitrile, whereas an entangled fibrillar network with enhanced emission was formed in o-dichlorobenzene. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments suggest that both π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding contribute to the formation of the supramolecular networks. Ultraviolet-visible and steady state emission studies demonstrated the formation of I-aggregates in acetonitrile. In contrast, in o-dichlorobenzene, the formation of J-type aggregates leads to assemblies with enhanced emission. These results give some insight into the important role of the gelling solvent in the morphology of the supramolecular gels and may help in the design of new soft-materials.

Abstract
Recent developments in the exfoliation, dispersion, and processing of pristine graphene (i.e., non-oxidized graphene) are described. General metrics are outlined that can be used to assess the quality and processability of various "graphene" products, as well as metrics that determine the potential for industrial scale-up. The pristine graphene production process is categorized from a chemical engineering point of view with three key steps: i) pretreatment, ii) exfoliation, and iii) separation. How pristine graphene colloidal stability is distinct from the exfoliation step and is dependent upon graphene interactions with solvents and dispersants are extensively reviewed. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of using pristine graphene as nanofillers in polymer composites, as well as as building blocks for macrostructure assemblies are summarized in the context of large-scale production.

Abstract
A series of pyridazine coupled tetrathiafulvalene T-shaped derivatives with varying amino acid moieties have been synthesized and their gelation properties were studied in various organic solvents. Among these derivatives, two gelators bearing glycine or phenylalanine units display efficient gelation in aromatic and polar solvents. Interestingly, these gelators, except for the gelator containing two tryptophan units, are able to gel DMF via a solution-to-gel transformation when triggered with sonication for less than 20 s or cooled below zero. A number of experiments revealed that these gelator molecules self-assembled into elastically interpenetrating three-dimensional chiral fibrillar aggregates. Importantly, all of the resulting gels result in a dramatic enhancement of the fluorescence intensity compared with their hot solution in spite of the absence of a conventional fluorophore unit and the fluorescence was effectively quenched by the introduction of C60. Moreover, the gelators can be utilized for the removal of different types of toxic molecules, such as aromatic solvents and cationic dyes, from wastewater.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogel as a novel drug carrier was prepared from N-(9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) (Fmoc) modified l-phenylalanine. Its different properties like stability at different pH, temperature and rheology were evaluated in reference to salicylic acid (SA) as a model drug, entrapped in the supramolecular hydrogel network. The release behaviour of SA drug in supramolecular hydrogel was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy. The influence of hydrogelator, pH values of the accepting media, temperature and concentration of SA drug on the release behaviour was investigated under static conditions. The results indicated that the release rate of SA in the supramolecular hydrogels was slightly retarded with an increase of the hydrogelator concentration. Also, the release rates of SA increased with an increase of temperature and its concentration. Furthermore, the release behaviour of SA was found to be different at various pH values in buffers. The study of the release kinetics indicated that the release behaviour of SA from the carrier was in accord with the Peppas model and the diffusion controlled mechanism involved in the Fickian model.

Abstract
A two-component hydrogelator (16-A)2 -V(2+) , comprising an l-alanine-based amphiphile (16-A) and a redox-active viologen based partner (V(2+) ), is reported. The formation the hydrogel depended, not only on the acid-to-amine stoichiometric ratio, but on the choice of the l-amino acid group and also on the hydrocarbon chain length of the amphiphilic component. The redox responsive property and the electrochemical behavior of this two-component system were further examined by step-wise chemical and electrochemical reduction of the viologen nucleus (V(2+) /V(+) and V(+) /V(0) ). The half-wave reduction potentials (E1/2 ) associated with the viologen ring shifted to more negative values with increasing amine component. This indicates that higher extent of salt formation hinders reduction of the viologen moiety. Interestingly, the incorporation of single-walled carbon nanotubes in the electrochemically irreversible hydrogel (16-A)2 -V(2+) transformed it into a quasi-reversible electrochemical system.

Abstract
A series of monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene-tripeptide conjugates have been synthesized and investigated as new low-molecular mass organogelators. It was found that most of these compounds could immobilize low-polarity solvents readily and the gelation behaviors of these gelators showed a dependence on the amino acid residues. These organogels were thoroughly studied using various techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, (1)H NMR spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the cooperative interplay of hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking and SS interactions were the main driving force for the formation of the gels. Of all the organogels, the aromatic solvent gels, such as toluene gel, exhibited multiple-stimulus responsiveness towards heating, shaking, chemical redox activity and the presence of anions, thus leading to reversible sol-gel phase transitions. Most interestingly, gelation in the presence of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) in organic solvents could be observed visually with a concomitant color change through donor-acceptor interactions. The strength of the charge-transfer interaction between gelators and TNP was proportional to the incubation time and increasing critical gelation concentration (CGC). The gels could function as efficient absorbents for potential application in removal of crystal violet and rhodamine B dyes from water.
