Abstract
The development of chiral nanostructures-based supramolecular catalysts with satisfied enantioselectivity remains a significantly more challenging task. Herein, the synthesis and self-assembly of various amino acid amphiphiles as chiral supramolecular catalysts after metal ion coordination is reported and systematically investigate their enantioselectivity in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions. In particular, the self-assembly of l/d-phenylglycine-based amphiphiles (l/d-PhgC16) and Cu(II) into chiral supramolecular catalysts in the methanol/water solution mixture is described, which features the interesting M/P nanohelices (diameter ≈8 nm) and mostly well-aligned M/P nanoribbons (NRs). The M/P supramolecular catalysts show both high but inverse enantioselectivity (>90% ee) in Diels-Alder reactions, while their monomeric counterparts display nearly racemic products. Analysis of the catalytic results suggests the outstanding enantioselectivities are closely related to the specific stereochemical microenvironment provided by the arrangement of the amphiphiles in the supramolecular assembly. Based on the experimental evidence of chirality transfer from supramolecular nanohelices to coordinated Cu(II) and substrate aza-chalcone and the molecular dynamics simulations, the enantioselective catalytic mechanisms are proposed. Moreover, the relationships between molecular structures of amino acid amphiphiles (the hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic alkyl chain length) in supramolecular catalysts and enantioselectivity in Diels-Alder reactions are elaborated.

Abstract
The key to any controlled supramolecular polymerization (CSP) process lies in controlling the nucleation step, which is typically achieved by sequestering monomers in a kinetically trapped state. However, kinetic traps that are shallow cannot prevent spontaneous nucleation, thus limiting the applicability of the CSP in such systems. We use a molecular additive to overcome this limitation by modifying the energy landscape of a competitive self-assembly process and increasing the kinetic stability of an otherwise short-lived trap state. The additive achieves this by simultaneously catalyzing OFF-pathway nucleation and inhibiting ON-pathway aggregation. In the process, it guides the molecular assembly exclusively toward the OFF-pathway aggregate analogue. The mechanisms of OFF-pathway catalysis and ON-pathway inhibition are elucidated. By specifically targeting the nucleation step, it was possible to achieve pathway selection at an extremely low additive-to-monomer ratio of 1:100. The generality of our approach is also demonstrated for other related molecular systems. Finally, removing the additive triggers the cross-nucleation of the ON-pathway aggregate on the surface of a less stable, OFF-pathway aggregate analogue. The resultant supramolecular polymer not only exhibits a more uniform morphology but more importantly, a marked improvement in the structural order that leads to an amplification of chiral asymmetry and a high absorption dissymmetry factor (gAbs) of ∼0.05.

Abstract
The functionalization of π-conjugated scaffolds with sterically demanding substituents is a widely used tactic to suppress cofacial (H-type) stacking interactions, which may even inhibit self-assembly. Contrary to expectations, we demonstrate herein that increasing steric effects can result in an enhanced thermodynamic stability of H-type supramolecular polymers. In our approach, we have investigated two boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes with bulky phenyl (2) and mesityl (3) meso-substituents and compared their self-assembly in nonpolar media with that of a parent meso-methyl BODIPY 1 lacking bulky groups. While the enhanced steric demand induces pathway complexity, the superior thermodynamic stability of the H-type pathways can be rationalized in terms of additional enthalpic gain arising from intermolecular C-H⋅⋅⋅F-B interactions of the orthogonally arranged aromatic substituents, which overrule their inherent steric demand. Our findings underline the importance of balancing competing non-covalent interactions in self-assembly.

Controlling the Morphological Features, Aspect Ratio and Emission Patterns of Supramolecular Copolymers by Restricted Dimensional Growth. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202301819.

Abstract
One of the bottlenecks associated with supramolecular polymerization of functional π-systems is the spontaneous assembly of monomers leading to one- or two-dimensional (1D or 2D) polymers without control over chain length and optical properties. In the case of supramolecular copolymerization of monomers that are structurally too diverse, preferential self-sorting occurs unless they are closely interacting donor-acceptor pairs. Herein, it is established that the spontaneous 1D polymerization of a phenyleneethynylene (PE) derivative and the 2D polymerization of a Bodipy derivative (BODIPY) can be controlled by copolymerizing them in different ratios, leading to unusual spindle-shaped structures with controlled aspect ratio, as evident by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies. For example, when the content of BODIPY is 50 % in the BODIPY-PE mixture, the 1D polymerization of PE is significantly restricted to form elongated spindle-like structures having an aspect ratio of 4-6. The addition of 75 % of BODIPY to PE resulted in circular spindles having an aspect ratio of 1-2.5, thereby completely restricting the 1D polymerization of PE monomers. Moreover, the resultant supramolecular copolymers exhibited morphology and aspect ratio dependent emission features as observed by the time-resolved emission studies.

Abstract
Ultrasound induced organic mechanoluminescence materials have become one of the focal topics in wireless light sources since they exhibit high spatiotemporal resolution, biocompatibility and excellent tissue penetration depth. These properties promote great potential in ultrahigh sensitive bioimaging with no background noise and noninvasive nanodevices. Recent advances in chemistry, nanotechnology and biomedical research are revolutionizing ultrasound induced organic mechanoluminescence. Herein, we try to summarize some recent researches in ultrasound induced mechanoluminescence that use various materials design strategies based on the molecular conformational changes and cycloreversion reaction. Practical applications, like noninvasive bioimaging and noninvasive optogenetics, are also presented and prospected.

Abstract
![]()
The synthesis, full
characterization, photochemical properties,
and cytotoxic activity toward cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines
of new semisquaraine-type Pt(II) complexes are presented. The synthesis
of eight semisquaraine-type ligands has been carried out by means
of an innovative, straightforward methodology. A thorough structural
NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis of the new ligands and complexes
has been done. Density functional theory calculations have allowed
to assign the trans configuration of the platinum
center. Through the structural modification of the ligands, it has
been possible to synthesize some complexes, which have turned out
to be photoactive at wavelengths that allow their activation in cell
cultures and, importantly, two of them show remarkable solubility
in biological media. Photodegradation processes have been studied
in depth, including the structural identification of photoproducts,
thus justifying the changes observed after irradiation. From biological
assessment, complexes C7 and C8 have been
demonstrated to behave as promising photoactivatable compounds in
the assayed cancer cell lines. Upon photoactivation, both complexes
are capable of inducing a higher cytotoxic effect on the tested cells
compared with nonphotoactivated compounds. Among the observed results,
it is remarkable to note that C7 showed a PI > 50
in
HeLa cells, and C8 showed a PI > 40 in A2780 cells,
being
also effective over cisplatin-resistant A2780cis cells (PI = 7 and
PI = 4, respectively). The mechanism of action of these complexes
has been studied, revealing that these photoactivated platinum complexes
would actually present a combined mode of action, a therapeutically
potential advantage. The
synthesis, full characterization, photochemical properties,
and cytotoxic activity toward cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines
of new semisquaraine-type Pt(II) complexes are presented. Eight semisquaraine-type
ligands and their corresponding Pt(II) complexes have been studied.
These complexes have turned out to be photoactive at wavelengths that
allow their activation in cell cultures. Two of them display remarkable
solubility in biological media showing a promising behavior as photoactivatable
compounds against several cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Precise adjustment of microstructure and handedness of chiral nanomaterials is important to regulate their properties and performance. Herein, helical 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin (APF) nanotubes and corresponding carbonaceous nanotubes with controllable handedness and optical activity were obtained via an external metal ion-mediated supramolecular co-templating method in an enantiomerically pure template system, in which an appropriate amount of Mn2+ (Co2+ or Ni2+ ) with moderate coordination abilities can reverse the spatial arrangement of the phenylglycine-based amphiphilic template molecules through metal coordination. Different stacking modes of coordination complexes in disparate metal ion systems lead to diverse helical senses (diameter and pitch) of the obtained helical APF. In addition, this coordination mode of metal intervention can be applied to other amine-based helical polymer synthesis systems, which paves the way for the design of high-quality chiral nanomaterials with satisfactory physical parameters and properties.

Abstract
Cyclobutenedione is an aromatic ring that exhibits strong electron-withdrawing properties but is susceptible to undesired reactions with nucleophiles. Herein, Kumada–Tamao–Corriu coupling polymerization of a cyclobutenedione monomer whose carbonyl groups are protected as acetals was achieved. Hydrolysis of the acetals afforded donor–acceptor type π-conjugated polymers consisting of cyclobutenedione as an acceptor unit and bithiophene as a donor unit. The acetal-protected monomer was also subjected to Suzuki–Miyaura coupling polymerization. The absorption and emission spectra of the deprotected polymers shifted to the longer wavelength compared with the acetal-protected polymers. Donor–acceptor-type π-conjugated polymers consisting of cyclobutenedione as an acceptor and bithiophene as a donor were synthesized by Kumada–Tamao–Corriu coupling polymerization of an acetal-protected monomer.![]()

Abstract
A novel multifunctional gelator (1) based on an azobenzene derivative was designed and characterized. This compound could gelate some solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, DMSO, acetonitrile and ethanol through a heating-cooling procedure. The self-assembly process in different solvents was studied by means of UV-vis absorption and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), rheological measurements, X-ray powder diffraction and water contact angle experiments. Interestingly, compound 1 had a high-contrast colorimetric detection ability towards Hg2+, Cu2+, Fe3+ and volatile acids and further organic amine gases in solution through its color change. At the same time, organogel 1 in acetonitrile also exhibited detection performance through a color or gel state change. In the response process, the self-assembly structures were changed from a nanofiber into a microsphere under induction by analytes. More significantly, film 1 could continuously detect volatile acids and organic amine gases. The number of cycles of film 1 for the detection of volatile acids and organic amine gases was at least seven times. The limit of detection (LOD) of film 1 towards TFA was calculated to be 0.0848 ppb. The sensing mechanisms were studied using 1HNMR, FESEM, UV-vis absorption spectra and HRMS. The intramolecular cyclization occurred on molecule 1 and a H2S molecule was lost during the detection process of Hg2+. It was proposed that the -N[double bond, length as m-dash]N- bonding could be coordinated by Fe3+ and Cu2+ and this further induced the absorption spectra and color change. For a volatile acid, it was possible that the volatile acid was combined with the N,N-dimethyl amine group of molecule 1. This research opens up a novel pathway to the fabrication of supramolecular self-assembly gels to detect polymetallic ions and trace volatile acids in the environment.

Abstract
The supramolecular polymerization of an acid‐sensitive pyridyl‐based ligand (L1) bearing a photoresponsive azobenzene moiety was elucidated by mechanistic studies. Addition of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) led to the transformation of the antiparallel H‐bonded fibers of L1 in methylcyclohexane into superhelical braid‐like fibers stabilized by H‐bonding of parallel‐stacked monomer units. Interestingly, L1 dimers held together by unconventional pyridine–TFA N⋅⋅⋅H⋅⋅⋅O bridges represent the main structural elements of the assembly. UV‐light irradiation caused a strain‐driven disassembly and subsequent aggregate reconstruction, which ultimately led to short fibers. The results allowed to understand the mechanism of mutual influence of acid and light stimuli on supramolecular polymerization processes, thus opening up new possibilities to design advanced stimuli‐triggered supramolecular systems.

Abstract
Highly concentrated water-in-oil emulsions incorporating multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are prepared. Homogeneous and selective dispersions of MWCNTs throughout the oil phase of the emulsions are investigated. The practical insolubility of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous and organic media necessitates the disentanglement of CNT "agglomerates" through the utilization of functionalized CNTs. The design and synthesis of two tetra-alkylated pyrene derivatives, namely, 1,3,6,8-tetra(oct-1-yn-1-yl)pyrene (TOPy) and 1,3,6,8-tetra(dodec-1-yn-1-yl)pyrene (TDPy), for the noncovalent organic modification of MWCNTs are reported. The modifier molecules are designed in such a manner that they facilitate an improved dispersion of individualized MWCNTs in the continuous-oil phase of the highly concentrated emulsion (HCE). Transmission electron microscopic analyses suggest that the alkylated pyrene molecules are adsorbed on the MWCNT surface, and their adsorption eventually results in the debundling of MWCNT agglomerates. Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopic analyses confirm the π-π interaction between the alkylated pyrene molecules and MWCNTs. The noncovalent modification significantly improves the effective debundling and selective dispersion of MWCNTs in HCEs.

Abstract
Facile control over preparation of organic building blocks and self-assembled aggregations to construct the desired materials remains challenges. This article reports selective dynamic covalent bonds formation and the corresponding self-assembly behaviors by using a dipeptide, glycylglycine (GlyGly), reacting with isomeric aromatic dialdehydes o-phthalaldehyde (OPA), p-phthalaldehyde (PPA), and m-phthalaldehyde (MPA) to demonstrate diversified aggregation forms caused by structure topology variations. Under alkaline condition, the aldehyde groups of phthalaldehydes can be connected with the amino groups of GlyGly by imine bonds as the dynamic chemical bonds. Owing to the fact that formation and dissociation of the imine bonds were reversibly pH-responsive, the reactions and aggregates assembled by their products were also reversibly controlled by changing pH. Three products, including two-armed product (OPGG, in which two GlyGly molecules were connected with one OPA molecule), single-armed product (PPG, in which only one GlyGly molecule was connected with a PPA molecule), and a mixture product (MPGG and MPG), as well as their different self-assembly behaviors, were obtained from OPA/GlyGly, PPA/GlyGly, and MPA/GlyGly systems, respectively, at the same condition of pH 8.6 in 90% methanol aqueous solution. However, for OPA/GlyGly system, another different type of product with benzopyrrole structure (OPG) was obtained by nucleophilic substitution via mixing OPA and GlyGly in water, which generated organic nanoparticles. Based on the results above, we conjectured the differences in dynamic covalent bond formation and supramolecular assembly clearly were influenced by the structure topologies of phthalaldehydes (OPA, PPA, and MPA). The experimental phenomenon verified the hypothesis as well, which may guide us to realize facile construction of selective reaction products and intelligent reversibly responsive materials with diverse morphologies and functions.

Abstract
We describe the preparation of a novel amphiphilic gelator built from a formamidine core, which is able to form a variety of physical organogels and hydrogels at concentrations ranging from 15 to 150 mg mL-1. Interestingly, ultrasound treatment of isotropic solutions (i.e., gel-precursor) resulted in a remarkable enhancement of the gelation kinetics as well as the gelation scope and characteristic gel properties (e.g., critical gelation concentration, gel-to-sol transition temperature, viscoelastic moduli) in comparison to the heating-cooling protocol typically used to obtain supramolecular gels. Thermoreversibility, thixotropy, injectability and multistimuli responsiveness are some of the most relevant functionalities of these gels. Electron microscopy imaging revealed the formation of entangled networks made of fibers of nanometer diameters and micrometer lengths, with different morphological features depending on the solvent. Insights into the driving forces for molecular aggregations were obtained from FTIR, NMR, PXRD and computational studies. The results suggest a major stabilization of the fibers through additive N-HO hydrogen bonds, in combination with hydrophobic interactions, over π-π stacking interactions.

Abstract
Solvent-gelator interactions play a key role in mediating organogel formation and ultimately determine the physico-chemical properties of the organogels and xerogels. The ethanol organogels of 1,4-bis[(3,4,5-trihexyloxy phenyl)hydrazide]phenylene (TC6) were investigated in situ by FT-IR, Raman and fluorescence spectra, and XRD, and it was confirmed that the intermolecular interaction and aggregation structure of TC6 ethanol organogels were quite different from those of xerogels. Simultaneously, unprecedented phase transition from organogel to suspension upon heating was observed in ethanol organogel, and the suspension phase exhibited lytropic liquid crystalline behaviour with a rectangular columnar structure. This study may open the possibility to design new gelators with a new dimension of versatility.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials can convert between molecular scale and macroscopic scale phenomena. Two macroscopic static electricity-responsive phenomena based on nanoscale supramolecular assemblies of a zinc porphyrin derivative are presented. One example involves the movement of supramolecular assemblies in response to static electricity. The assembly of a pyridine (Py) complex of the above-mentioned derivative in cyclohexane is drawn to a positively charged material, whereas the assembly of a 3,5-dimethylpyridine complex is drawn to a negatively charged material. The second phenomenon involves the movement of a non-polar solvent in response to static electrical stimulation. A cyclohexane solution containing a small quantity of the Py-complexed assembly exhibited a strong movement response towards negatively charged materials. Based on spectroscopic measurements and electron microscope observations, it was revealed that the assembled formation generates the observed response to static electricity.

Abstract
A new bis(anhydrazide) derivative containing cyclohexyl terminal groups (compound 1) was synthesized, and its gelation process was investigated. Compound 1 showed both thermal-induced gelation (T-gel) and sonication-induced gelation (S-gel) in alcohols. We investigated the gelation process of compound 1 in ethanol by different techniques. It was demonstrated that gelator 1 in ethanol underwent a transition from a clear solution through a turbid suspension to an opaque gel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations indicated that the turbid suspension consisted of separated clew-like spheres, connected spheres, and short nanorods, whereas the opaque gel consisted of fibers or bundles of fiber networks. Molecules packed loosely into an unknown phase in the spheres, whereas they packed tightly into a hexagonal columnar phase with a = 1.62 nm in the fibers. Intermolecular H-bonding between -C═O and -N-H was revealed to be the driving force for gelation, and the strength of the H-bonding became stronger in the fibers than in the spheres. We propose that the gel of compound 1 in ethanol consisting of fibers is a stable phase compared to the turbid suspension consisting of spheres or short nanorods, which is considered to be metastable. The kinetics of gelation of gelator 1 in ethanol under sonication suggest that the gelation process is a two-stage kinetic pathway with fractal values of 1.27 and 0.84. Our study hence provides new insights into the formation of fibers and the structural evolution of the gelation process and can be exploited to achieve a detailed understanding of gels.

Abstract
A surfactant-free sonication-induced route is developed to facilely prepare colloidal nanocrystals of Li-excess layered Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (marked as LMNCO) material. The sonication process plays a critical role in forming LMNCO nanocrystals in ethanol (ethanol molecules marked as EtOHs) and inducing the interaction between LMNCO and solvent molecules. The formation mechanism of LMNCO-EtOH supramolecules in the colloidal dispersion system is proposed and examined by the theoretical simulation and light scattering technique. It is suggested that the as-formed supramolecule is composed of numerous ethanol molecules capping the surface of the LMNCO nanocrystal core via hydrogen bonding. Such chemisorption gives rise to dielectric polarization of the absorbed ethanol molecules, resulting in a negative surface charge of LMNCO colloids. The self-assembly behaviors of colloidal LMNCO nanocrystals are then tentatively investigated by tuning the solvent evaporation condition, which results in diverse superstructures of LMNCO materials after the evaporation of ethanol. The reassembled LMNCO architectures exhibit remarkably improved capacity and cyclability in comparison with the original LMNCO particles, demonstrating a very promising cathode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. This work thus provides new insights into the formation and self-assembly of multiple-element complex inorganic colloids in common and surfactant-free solvents for enhanced performance in device applications.

Abstract
Higher-order super-helical structures derived from biological molecules are known to evolve through opposite coiling of the initial helical fibers, as seen in collagen protein. A similar phenomenon is observed in a π-system self-assembly of chiral oligo(phenyleneethylene) derivatives (S)-1 and (R)-1 that explains the unequal formation of both left- and right-handed helices from molecule having a specific chiral center. Concentration- and temperature-dependent circular dichroism (CD) and UV/Vis spectroscopic studies revealed that the initial formation of helical aggregates is in accordance with the molecular chirality. At the next level of hierarchical self-assembly, coiling of the fibers occurs with opposite handedness, thereby superseding the command of the molecular chirality. This was confirmed by solvent-dependent decoiling of super-helical structures and concentration-dependent morphological analysis.

Abstract
A meso-substituted Bodipy derived π-gelator exhibits amplified near-infrared (NIR) emission upon shearing of its film from n-decane or drying of its gel from DMSO.
We report an unprecedented strategy to generate and amplify near-infrared (NIR) emission in an organic chromophore by mechanical stress or gelation pathways. A greenish-yellow emitting film of π-extended Bodipy-1, obtained from n-decane, became orange-red upon mechanical shearing, with a 15-fold enhancement in NIR emission at 738 nm. Alternatively, a DMSO gel of Bodipy-1 exhibited a 7-fold enhancement in NIR emission at 748 nm with a change in emission color from yellow to orange-red upon drying. The reason for the amplified NIR emission in both cases is established from the difference in chromophore packing, by single crystal analysis of a model compound (Bodipy-2), which also exhibited a near identical emission spectrum with red to NIR emission (742 nm). Comparison of the emission features and WAXS and FT-IR data of the sheared n-decane film and the DMSO xerogel with the single crystal data supports a head-to-tail slipped arrangement driven by the N–H···F–B bonding in the sheared or xerogel states, which facilitates strong exciton coupling and the resultant NIR emission.

Abstract
A bis-dipeptide supramolecular gelator (DMPV) is prepared, based on l-valine moieties having a pyridinyl group and a long fatty diamine. It is found that the gelator can immobilize organic/water binary mixed solvents, and gel-to-gel transitions with unprecedented opaque-to-transparent transformations are observed upon using aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, 1-propyl alcohol, and isopropanol as the organic components. Morphological investigations indicate that a reassembly process occurs, and microstructure evolutions from agglomerates to nanofibers are observed. Opaque and transparent assemblies can interconvert, and respond and restore under mechanical force and pH stimuli. Moreover, Hansen and Flory-Huggins parameters are used to investigate the effect of the solvent on the gelation performance of DMPV. This may facilitate the structure and solvent optimizations and aid the development of advanced gel systems.

Abstract
In an attempt to gather experimental evidence for the influence of carbon allotropes on supramolecular chirality, we found that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) facilitate amplification of the molecular chirality of a π-gelator (MC-OPV) to supramolecular helicity at a concentration much lower than that required for intermolecular interaction. For example, at a concentration 1.8×10(-4) m, MC-OPV did not exhibit a CD signal; however, the addition of 0-0.6 mg of SWNTs resulted in amplified chirality as evident from the CD spectrum. Surprisingly, AFM analysis revealed the formation of thick helical fibers with a width of more than 100 nm. High-resolution TEM analysis and solid-state UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy revealed that the thick helical fibers were cylindrical cables composed of individually wrapped and coaxially aligned SWNTs. Such an impressive effect of CNTs on supramolecular chirality and cylindrical-cable formation has not been reported previously.

Abstract
Racemic mixtures of aminomethylenehelicene (P)- and (M)-pentamers exhibited deterministic and stochastic chiral symmetry breaking during hetero-double-helix formation and self-assembly in solution. Heating a 50:50 mixture of (P)- and (M)-pentamers at 90 °C, and then cooling the mixture to 70 °C resulted in hetero-double-helix formation; a Cotton effect with negative Δε at λ=315 nm appeared. Chiral self-assembly occurred when the mixture was cooled to 25 °C. A strong tendency of deterministic chiral symmetry breaking appeared at the molecular and self-assembled levels, which was indicated by the negative Δε at λ=315 nm that appeared in most cases in repeated experiments. Mixtures containing 60:40 and 40:60 (P)-/(M)-pentamers also self-assembled with the same chirality. When a homo-double-helix (P)-/(M)-pentamer and a random coil (M)-/(P)-pentamer were mixed, the chiral self-assembly formed stochastically, and heating and cooling resulted in deterministic chiral symmetry breaking.

Abstract
To ensure the comfortable survival of living organisms, detection of different life threatening volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as biological metabolites and carcinogenic molecules is of prime importance. Herein, we report the use of supercoiled supramolecular polymeric fibres of self-sorted donor-acceptor molecules as "turn-off/turn-on" fluorescent sensors for the detection of carcinogenic VOCs. For this purpose, a C3-symmetrical donor molecule based on oligo(p-phenylenevinylene), C3OPV, and a perylene bisimide based acceptor molecule, C3PBI, have been synthesized. When these two molecules were mixed together in toluene, in contrast to the usual charge transfer (CT) stacking, supramolecular fibres of self-sorted stacks were formed at the molecular level, primarily driven by their distinct self-assembly pathways. However, CT interaction at the macroscopic level allows these fibres to bundle together to form supercoiled ropes. An interfacial photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process from the donor to the acceptor fibres leads to an initial fluorescence quenching, which could be modulated by exposure to strong donor or acceptor type VOCs to regenerate the respective fluorescence of the individual molecular stacks. Thus, strong donors could regenerate the green fluorescence of C3OPV stacks and strong acceptors could reactivate the red fluorescence of C3PBI stacks. These supercoiled supramolecular ropes of self-sorted donor-acceptor stacks provide a simple tool for the detection of donor- or acceptor-type VOCs of biological relevance, using a "turn-off/turn-on" fluorescence mechanism as demonstrated with o-toluidine, which has been reported as a lung cancer marker.

Abstract
A new series of symmetric, bis-cholesteryl-appended, isosorbide derivatives (BCIE, BCIC2 and BCIC4) were designed as gelators to respond to changes in their environment and were synthesized successfully. Among these derivatives, BCIE can gel a wide variety of organic solvents (23 solvents), suggesting that BCIE acts as a more versatile gelator than BCIC2 and BCIC4. The CGC of the gels varies from 1.53 mM in 1-hexanol to 23 mM in pyridine. The results of the gelation ability in different solvents revealed that changing the linking group (ester/carbamate) attached to the cholesteryl units can produce a dramatic change in the gelation behavior of the compounds. The morphology of the as-formed organogels can be regulated by changing the types of organic solvents. The results from electron microscopy studies revealed that the gelator molecule self-assembled into different aggregates, from wrinkled fibers to dense fibers, with the change of solvents. The gels of BCIE in 1-hexanol and 1-octanol exhibited strong CD (circular dichroism) signals, indicating that the gelation induced supramolecular chirality in these gel systems. Secondary forces of van der Waals and π-π stacking (from both 1,2,3-triazole and aromatic units) played important roles in the aggregation of compounds in the solvents according to FTIR and variable temperature (1)H-NMR analysis, and a mechanism for the gel formation was proposed. The gel-to-sol phase transition can be triggered by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and the gel state was obtained slowly (after 1 day) when neutralizing with triethyl amine (TEA), which indicated that the sol ⇄ gel phase transitions are tunable by pH, which is further supported by (1)H-NMR and SEM analysis. In addition, the gel stability of BCIE was investigated using Cu(2+), Cd(2+), Ag(2+), Fe(3+), Hg(2+), Mg(2+), Pd(2+), Al(3+) and Zn(2+), and the results showed that the gel-to-sol phase transition process could be selectively controlled by interaction with Pd(2+) and Zn(2+) because complexation with 1,2,3-triazoles destroyed the interactions between the triazoles, collapsing the gel, which was further evidenced by (1)H-NMR and SEM analysis. However, the gel stability of BCIE was enhanced by the addition of Pd(2+) and Zn(2+) in the presence of pyridine, whereas the gel collapsed in other solvents, which may be due to the chelating effect of the pyridine moiety. Another interesting feature of this gel is that when using the gelator as a stabilizer, stable water in oil (W/O) gel-emulsions were created, in which styrene can be used as the continuous phase and water as the dispersed phase with the stabilizer in the continuous phase of only 2% (w/v). Gel-emulsions were observed with any ratio of water to styrene.

Abstract
The organogel of (E)-N'-(anthracene-10-ylmethylene)-3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzohydrazide (I) in methyl cyclohexane having a fibrillar network structure exhibits excellent fluorescence, which decreases sharply with time upon photoirradiation at λ = 365 nm. It has been attributed to the transformation of the E isomer of I to the Z isomer, and the kinetics of E-Z isomerization are compared for the sol, gel, xerogel, and powder states. The rate constants at different temperatures are measured from Avrami plots and its increase with an increase in temperature, indicating temperature acts as a promoter for photoirradiated E-Z isomeization along the imine (C═N) bond. In the powder form, the rate constant values are the lowest compared to those of other states for all temperatures and the xerogels exhibit the highest rate of E-Z isomerization. The rate constants of sol and gel states mostly lie between the two. The wide-angle X-ray scattering pattern changes after ultraviolet (UV) irradiation with the generation of new sharp peaks whose intensities increase with an increase in irradiation time. A polarized optical microscopic study indicates formation of small crystalline dots on the fibers in the gels, dendritic morphology on the xerogel fibers, and large needlelike morphology at the surface boundary of the solid. The dried I gel exhibits a melting peak at 96.7 °C, but upon irradiation, two peaks are observed at 98.5 and 152.7 °C; the latter has been attributed to the melting of crystals of Z isomers. Similar higher melting peaks are observed both for the xerogel and for powders after UV irradiation; the powders exhibit the highest meting peak at 159.4 °C. Possible reasons for the variation of rate constant values in the four different states and the difference in morphology and melting points of crystals of Z isomers of I are discussed.

Abstract
Chiral N,N'-disubstituted squaramide has been found to undergo self-assembly in a variety of alcoholic solvents at low concentrations leading to the formation of novel nanostructured supramolecular alcogels. The gels responded to thermal, mechanical, optical and chemical stimuli. Solubility studies, gelation ability tests and computer modeling of a series of structurally related squaramides proved the existence of a unique combination of non-covalent molecular interactions and favorable hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance in that drive the anisotropic growth of alcogel networks. The results have also revealed a remarkable effect of ultrasound on both the gelation kinetics and the properties of the alcogels.

Abstract
Two novel bent-shaped π-organogelators 6a and 6b having different terminal pyridine rings as responsive sites were designed, synthesized and fully characterized. A subtle difference in the position of the N atom at the pyridine ring greatly affected their fluorescence and gelation properties. 6b showed remarkably stronger fluorescence both in solution and in the solid state as compared to 6a. Theoretical calculation revealed a clear discrepancy in the electron distribution between them. Furthermore, driven by π–π stacking interaction and hydrophobic interaction, both 6a and 6b can gelate several organic solvents with different polarities. Rheological studies, spectroscopic tests and powder X-ray diffraction showed that 6a displayed a closer stacking mode leading to stronger gel robustness. The xerogel films of 6a and 6b were prepared and utilized to detect acid vapours. Both of them can fulfil the detection of acid vapours through a distinct fluorescence change which could be seen by the naked eye under a UV lamp, but with different sensing modes. A rare gel to gel transformation was also observed upon exposure to acid vapours accompanied by a morphological change.
