Abstract
This mini-review summarizes the seminal exploration of aqueous supramolecular chemistry of crown ether macrocycles. In history, most research of crown ethers were focusing on their supramolecular chemistry in organic phase or in gas phase. In sharp contrast, the recent research evidently reveal that crown ethers are very suitable for studying abroad range of the properties and applications of water interactions, from: high water-solubility, control of Hofmeister series, "structural water", and supramolecular adhesives. Key studies revealing more details about the properties of water and aqueous solutions are highlighted.

Abstract
Supramolecular assemblies based on oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) building blocks are well-known for their neutral chemical property and thermal-responsive behavior. Here, the cyclic "CLOSED" and linear "OPEN" typologies of OEGs led to dramatic difference in the sensitivity to guanidinium-containing species. From thermodynamic studies, the association constant (Ka) between the "CLOSED" form amphiphile and guanidinium salt was determined to be 28.7 M-1, whereas there was no detectable binding affinity for the "OPEN" form. Therefore, considering ion specificity, the present results establish that crown ether derivatives with "CLOSED" and "OPEN" topologies provide an easy-to-access model pair with designed ion-recognition sites and special functional moieties and geometries (like the binding pockets of enzymes or ion channels in cellular members) that allow the manipulation of the intercrossed relationship between supramolecular solutes, waters, and guanidinium salts. These supramolecular forces in aqueous solution offered an alternative strategy to fabricate thermal-responsive systems in ionic medium.

Abstract
Organic selenides are famous for their coordination and catalytic functions in the organic phase, albeit challenging for aqueous medium. Herein, the combination of a hydrophilic body of crown ether and substitution of one oxygen atom with a selenium one provides a new type of design route for organic selenide entities with charming functions in aqueous solution. The selenacrown ether C9Se presented here intrinsically shows an amphiphile-like property. Its nanosphere structure in water readily expands the catalysis of organic selenide to aqueous substrates in thiol/disulfide conversion.

Abstract
A new heterodimeric crown amphiphile was fabricated, wherein the oxacrown and selencrown ethers provided the desired molecular framework for hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, respectively. From an integrated perspective, the developed amphiphile possesses features of crown ethers, amines, and selenium-containing species, and its assembly in water can be responsive to diverse chemical effectors-H2O2 and CO2 in a switchable ON/OFF mode to achieve controlled release. It is the first case wherein the applications of cyclic polyethers with different solubilities drives the self-assembly in an aqueous medium.

Abstract
The utilization of structural water in chemical self-assembly has not only effectively eliminated the negative influences of solvents from solutions or gels but has also provided new insight into the fabrication of new materials in bulk. However, up to now, supramolecular polymerization triggered by structural water has been dominated more by serendipity than rational design. After carefully analyzing the chemical structures of artificial monomers and gaining a deep understanding of the water-triggered assembly process, we report herein the bulk formation of polymeric materials from water and low-molecular weight monomers by rational design instead of serendipity.

Abstract
A series of three 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamides with peripheral tertiary N,N-dialkyl-ethylamino substituents with different length of the alkyl groups is reported. In particular, the N1,N3,N5-tris[2-(diethylamino)-ethyl]-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide exhibits phase separation followed by self-assembly upon heating from aqueous solution into well-defined supramolecular fiber-like structures in the form of microtubes.

Abstract
Although the gelation process and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior are well acknowledged in polymer systems, low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) rarely display LCST behavior during supramolecular gelation. Herein, we report an LMWG system with LCST-type thermoresponsiveness and an LCST-triggered supramolecular gelation process. Temperature plays a crucial role in this system, not only affecting the LCST phase separation but also triggering the gelation process. The backbones (three-dimensional structures) of the resulting hydrogel are the hierarchical assemblies of the LMWG undergoing the LCST phase separation. Hence, the gelation of the LMWG is only realized when the gelation temperature is above the critical transition temperature (Tcloud) of the LCST behavior, which is different from many supramolecular or polymeric hydrogel systems.

Abstract
The synthesis of conjugates of perylene diimide (PDI) and naphthalene diimide (NDI) modified with two benzo-21-crown-7 ethers (B21C7) are herein described. Their self-assembly behavior in various solvents was investigated particularly in aqueous medium, due to the recently discovered hydrophilic properties of B21C7 crown macrocycle. An unexpected fluorescence quenching phenomenon was observed in the PDI-B21C7 macrocycle conjugate in chloroform. The detailed UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of these PDI/NDI derivatives in different solvents as well as their morphologies were investigated.

Abstract
A supramolecular polymeric adhesive was prepared from non-viscous, non-polymeric materials by water-participant hydrogen bonds. Pt-pyridine coordination and water-crown ether hydrogen bonding combine to effect the supramolecular polymerization. The supramolecular polymeric adhesive displays strong, reversible adhesion to hydrophilic surfaces, a property that forecasts the application of hydrogen bonding in advanced supramolecular materials.

Abstract
The introduction of hydrophobic units into crown ethers can dramatically decrease the critical transition temperature of LCST and realize macroscopic phase separation at low to moderate temperature and concentration. Minor modifications in the chemical structure of crown ethers (benzo-21-crown-7, B21C7s) can effectively control the thermo-responsive properties.

Abstract
A new type of dynamic covalent macrocycle with self-promoted supramolecular gelation behavior is developed. Under oxidative conditions, the dithiol compound containing a diamide alkyl linker with an odd number (7) of carbon chain and an appended crown ether shows a remarkable gelation ability in acetonitrile, without any template molecules. Due to the existence of crown ethers and disulfide bonds, the obtained gel shows a multiple stimuli-responsiveness behavior. The mechanical properties and reversibility of the gel are investigated. Computational modeling suggests that the peripheral chain for diamide hydrogen bonding is responsible for the gelation process.

Abstract
We found that TC7 not only self-assembles into one-dimensional supramolecular aggregates in chloroform, but also forms cross-linked supramolecular polymers via host-guest complexation between benzo-21-crown-7 and secondary ammonium salts. Compared with one-dimensional linear supramolecular polymers, soft and long viscous fibers were pulled out from a concentrated solution of cross-linked supramolecular polymers as a result of higher viscosity and lower diffusion coefficients.

Abstract
Cryptand-containing alternative copolymers were first made from copolymerization of styrenic derivatives and maleic anhydride and then chemically modified in this work by grafting methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) onto the maleic functional groups. These graft copolymers show interesting multistep soluble-insoluble-soluble (S-I-S) transitions in acidic aqueous media at a cloud point (T cp) and a subsequent mixing temperature (T mix). Turbidity measurements and dynamic light scattering studies indicate that such complex transitions may be attributed to the entropic contribution associated with the dehydration and aggregation of the MPEG groups and then the enthalpic contribution associated with the hydrogen bonding between ethylene glycol and carboxylic acid groups. More importantly, the phase transition temperatures and insoluble temperature ranges are very sensitive to changes in subtle hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance of the copolymers, such as the variation of pH, the cryptand size, and the length of the MPEG graft. The understanding of the S-I-S transition in relation to the structure of the copolymers and the external conditions may be useful in the design of smart materials and sensors.
