Abstract
The stability of three supramolecular naostructures, which are formed through the aggregation of identical belts of [12] arene containing p-nitrophenyllithium, 1,4-dilithiatedbenzene and 1,4-dinitrobenzene units, is investigated by density functional theory. The electrostatic potential calculations indicate the ability of these belts in forming bifurcated lithium bonds (BLBs) between the Li atoms of one belt and the oxygen atoms of the NO2 groups in the other belt, which is also confirmed by deformation density maps and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis. Topological analysis and natural bond analysis (NBO) imply to ionic character for these BLBs with binding energies up to approximately - 60 kcal mol-1. The many-body interaction energy analysis shows the strong cooperativity belongs to the configuration with the highest symmetry (C4v) containing p-nitrophenyllithium fragments as the building unit. Therefore, it seems that this configuration could be a good candidate for designing a BLB-based supramolecular nanotube with infinite size in this study.

Abstract
We investigate the kinetics of the supramolecular polymerisation of an Au(i)-metallopeptide amphiphile that assembles into exceptionally long and rigid nanofibers. We developed a precise preparation protocol to measure the concentration dependent assembly kinetics which elucidated a nucleation-elongation dominated supramolecular polymerisation process. We show striking differences in the assembly behavior and morphology in aqueous media, even at organic solvent contents as low as 1 vol%, compared to pure buffer.

Abstract
The self-assembly of discrete molecular entities into functional nanomaterials has become a major research area in the past decades. The library of investigated compounds has diversified significantly, while the field as a whole has matured. The incorporation of metal ions in the molecular design of the (supra-)molecular building blocks greatly expands the potential applications, while also offering a promising approach to control molecular recognition and attractive and/or repulsive intermolecular binding events. Hence, supramolecular polymerization of metal-containing monomers has emerged as a major research focus in the field. In this perspective article, we highlight recent significant advances in supramolecular polymerization of metal-containing monomers and discuss their implications for future research. Additionally, we also outline some major challenges that metallosupramolecular chemists (will) have to face to produce metallosupramolecular polymers (MSPs) with advanced applications and functionalities.

Abstract
Interactions between solvents and solutes are a cornerstone of physical organic chemistry and have been the subject of investigations over the last century. In recent years, a renewed interest in fundamental aspects of solute-solvent interactions has been sparked in the field of supramolecular chemistry in general and that of supramolecular polymers in particular. Although solvent effects in supramolecular chemistry have been recognized for a long time, the unique opportunities that supramolecular polymers offer to gain insight into solute-solvent interactions have become clear relatively recently. The multiple interactions that hold the supramolecular polymeric structure together are similar in strength to those between solute and solvent. The cooperativity found in ordered supramolecular polymers leads to the possibility of amplifying these solute-solvent effects and will shed light on extremely subtle solvation phenomena. As a result, many exciting effects of solute-solvent interactions in modern physical organic chemistry can be studied using supramolecular polymers. Our aim is to put the recent progress into a historical context and provide avenues toward a more comprehensive understanding of solvents in multicomponent supramolecular systems.

Abstract
Besides their widespread use in coordination chemistry, 2,2'-bipyridines are known for their ability to undergo cis-trans conformational changes in response to metal ions and acids, which has been primarily investigated at the molecular level. However, the exploitation of such conformational switching in self-assembly has remained unexplored. In this work, the use of 2,2'-bipyridines as acid-responsive conformational switches to tune supramolecular polymerization processes has been demonstrated. To achieve this goal, we have designed a bipyridine-based linear bolaamphiphile, 1, that forms ordered supramolecular polymers in aqueous media through cooperative aromatic and hydrophobic interactions. Interestingly, addition of acid (TFA) induces the monoprotonation of the 2,2'-bipyridine moiety, leading to a switch in the molecular conformation from a linear (trans) to a V-shaped (cis) state. This increase in molecular distortion along with electrostatic repulsions of the positively charged bipyridine-H+ units attenuate the aggregation tendency and induce a transformation from long fibers to shorter thinner fibers. Our findings may contribute to opening up new directions in molecular switches and stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials.

Abstract
We report kinetically controlled chiral supramolecular polymerization based on ligand-metal complex with a 3 : 2 (L : Ag+) stoichiometry accompanying a helical inversion in water. A new family of bipyridine-based ligands (d-L1, l-L1, d-L2, and d-L3) possessing hydrazine and d- or l-alanine moieties at the alkyl chain groups has been designed and synthesized. Interestingly, upon addition of AgNO3 (0.5-1.3 equiv.) to the d-L1 solution, it generated the aggregate I composed of the d-L1AgNO3 complex (d-L1 : Ag+ = 1 : 1) as the kinetic product with a spherical structure. Then, aggregate I (nanoparticle) was transformed into the aggregate II (supramolecular polymer) based on the (d-L1)3Ag2(NO3)2 complex as the thermodynamic product with a fiber structure, which led to the helical inversion from the left-handed (M-type) to the right-handed (P-type) helicity accompanying CD amplification. In contrast, the spherical aggregate I (nanoparticle) composed of the d-L1AgNO3 complex with the left-handed (M-type) helicity formed in the presence of 2.0 equiv. of AgNO3 and was not additionally changed, which indicated that it was the thermodynamic product. The chiral supramolecular polymer based on (d-L1)3Ag2(NO3)2 was produced via a nucleation-elongation mechanism with a cooperative pathway. In thermodynamic study, the standard ΔG° and ΔH e values for the aggregates I and II were calculated using the van't Hoff plot. The enhanced ΔG° value of the aggregate II compared to that of the formation of aggregate I confirms that aggregate II was thermodynamically more stable. In the kinetic study, the influence of concentration of AgNO3 confirmed the initial formation of the aggregate I (nanoparticle), which then evolved to the aggregate II (supramolecular polymer). Thus, the concentration of the (d-L1)3Ag2(NO3)2 complex in the initial state plays a critical role in generating aggregate II (supramolecular polymer). In particular, NO3 - acts as a critical linker and accelerator in the transformation from the aggregate I to the aggregate II. This is the first example of a system for a kinetically controlled chiral supramolecular polymer that is formed via multiple steps with coordination structural change.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations were performed on model systems of stacking interactions between the acac type chelate rings of nickel, palladium, and platinum. CCSD(T)/CBS calculations showed that chelate-chelate stacking interactions are significantly stronger than chelate-aryl and aryl-aryl stacking interactions. Interaction energy surfaces were calculated at the LC-ωPBE-D3BJ/aug-cc-pVDZ level, which gives energies in good agreement with CCSD(T)/CBS. The stacking of chelates in an antiparallel orientation is stronger than the stacking in a parallel orientation, which is in agreement with the larger number of antiparallel stacked chelates in crystal structures from the Cambridge Structural Database. The strongest antiparallel chelate-chelate stacking interaction is formed between two platinum chelates, with a CCSD(T)/CBS interaction energy of -9.70 kcal mol-1, while the strongest stacking between two palladium chelates and two nickel chelates has CCSD(T)/CBS energies of -9.21 kcal mol-1 and -9.50 kcal mol-1, respectively. The strongest parallel chelate-chelate stacking was found for palladium chelates, with a LC-ωPBE-D3BJ/aug-cc-pVDZ energy of -6.51 kcal mol-1. The geometries of the potential surface minima are not the same for the three metals. The geometries of the minima are governed by electrostatic interactions, which are the ones determining the positions of the energy minima. Electrostatic interactions are governed by different electrostatic potentials above the metals, which are very positive for nickel, slightly positive for palladium, and slightly negative for platinum.

Abstract
Self-assembling of supramolecules composed of benzene and cyclohexane tricarboxamide derivatives can form highly organized 1 D fibers exhibiting macrodipoles. The way fibers pack in the condensed phase governs the final properties of the supramolecular material, in which macrodipoles can be oriented parallel or antiparallel to each other, and their magnitude can be tuned by additional intra-columnar dipole stabilization. X-ray structural elucidation of these materials remains a real challenge due to the difficulty in growing single crystals. This problem can be tackled by using atomistic molecular dynamics to simulate supramolecular materials composed of cyclohexanetricarboxamide derivatives assuming different magnitudes and orientations of macrodipoles in the condensed phase, as we show here. The results provide insight on the isotropization mechanism of the supramolecules and also reveal that the relative orientation between macrodipoles can indeed influence their stability. This work nicely complements X-ray structural characterizations of supramolecular materials, and helps understand structure-property relationships of a range of similar noncovalent materials.
