Abstract
The selective transmembrane permeation of sodium ions achieved by biomimetic chemistry shows great potential to solve the problem of sodium ion transport blockade in diseases, but its implementation faces enormous difficulties. Herein, we design and synthesize a series of helically folded nanopores by employing a quinoline-oxadiazole structural sequence to finely replicate the pentahydrate structure of sodium ions. Surprisingly, these nanopores are capable of achieving sodium transmembrane permeation with ion selectivity at the level of natural sodium channels, as observed in rationally designed nanopores (M1-M5) with Na+/K+ ion selectivity ratio of up to 20.4. Moreover, slight structural variations in nanopore structures can switch ion transport modes between the channel and carrier. We found that, compared to the carrier mode, the channel mode not only transports ions faster but also has higher ion selectivity during transmembrane conduction, clearly illustrating that the trade-off phenomenon between ion selectivity and transport activity does not occur between the two transport modes of channel and carrier. At the same time, we also found that the spatial position and numbers of coordination sites are crucial for the sodium ion selectivity of the nanopores. Moreover, carrier M1 reported in this work is totally superior to the commercial Na+ carrier ETH2120, especially in terms of Na+/K+ ion selectivity, thus being a potentially practical Na+ carrier. Our study provides a new paradigm on the rational design of sodium-specific synthetic nanopores, which will open up the possibility for the application of artificial sodium-specific transmembrane permeation in biomedicine and disease treatment.

Abstract
C3-symmetric molecules carrying a conjugated diacetylene (DA) core are found to self-assemble into well-defined supramolecular fibers with enhanced supramolecular chirality in both organic and aqueous solutions. The conjugated core affords these amphiphiles characteristic fluorescence properties, which can be quenched partially due to the aggregation. Integration of the C3-symmetry with the conjugation provides these novel molecules strong aggregation tendency through solvent-mediated π-π stacking with preferential supramolecular chirality, which is predominately related to steric hindrance from their dipeptide pendants. Highly uniform supramolecular fibers of P and M handedness with thickness consistent in the dimensions of individual C3 molecules are obtained. The increase of concentrations induces these fibers to wrap together to form supramolecular fibrous bundles. Topochemical polymerization of the DA moieties can transform these supramolecular fibers into stable covalent polymers. We therefore believe that self-assembly of these C3-symmetric molecules with extended conjugated DA cores provides new prospects for the construction of supramolecular helical fibers through enhanced π-π stacking and creates a convenient strategy to furnish covalent chiral polymers of hierarchical structures through supramolecular assembly.

Abstract
A series of lipotripeptide stereoisomers based on alanine were synthesized, and their self-assembling behaviors were studied by means of circular dichroism spectra, ATR-IR, temperature-dependent 1H NMR, and X-ray diffraction patterns. In the mixed solvent of hexafluoroisopropanol/H2O (1/9, v/v), eight lipotripeptides were able to self-assembled into nanoflakes or nanoribbons driven by the hydrophobic association of alkyl chains, intermolecular hydrogen bonding among carboxyl groups at C-terminal and amide groups of alanine moieties in the peptide segment. It was found that the stacking chirality of carbonyl groups was determined by the chirality of alanine residue at C-terminal (i.e., "C-terminal determination" rule). Moreover, our research also highlighted the intermolecular hydrogen bonding on amide groups of each alanine residue, terminal carboxyl as well as the molecular packing structures can be subtly manipulated by changing the stereochemical sequence of peptide segment.

Abstract
Balance between self-association of structural units and self-repulsion from crowding-induced steric hindrance accounts for the supramolecular assembly of the amphiphilic entities to form ordered structures, and solvation provides a toolbox to conveniently modulate the assemblies through differential interactions to various structural units. Here we report solvation-modulated supramolecular chiral assembly in aqueous solutions of amphiphilic dendronized tetraphenylethylenes (TPEs) with three-folded dendritic oligoethylene glycols (OEGs) through dipeptide Ala-Gly linkage. These dendronized amphiphiles can form supramolecular spheres with enhanced supramolecular chirality, which is tunable and dependent on solvation. These nanosized spherical aggregates exhibit thermoresponsive behavior, and their cloud point temperatures are dependent on mixed solvent of water and THF. The phase transition temperatures increase with water fractions due to water-driven shifting of OEG moieties from interiors of the aggregates to their peripheries. Furthermore, the thermally induced dehydration and collapse of OEG moieties mediate the reversible aggregation and deaggregation between the spheres, imparting tunable aggregation-induced fluorescent emission (AIE) and supramolecular chirality. Both experimental results and molecular dynamic simulations have highlighted that reversible chirality transformations of the amphiphilic dendronized assemblies mediated by solvation through change solvent quality or thermally dehydration are dependent on the balance between interactions of OEG dendrons with TPE moieties and with the solvent molecules.

Abstract
A C3-symmetric acylhydrazone-based low molecular weight gelator (BHTP) bearing three pyridine units was synthesized and it was found to form a stable supramolecular gel in the mixture solvent of DMSO-H2O. The morphology of the gel as observed by FE-SEM showed a dense sheet structure. Hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking between the gelators were determined as the non-covalent interactions for the gelation, which were investigated thoroughly using XRD, UV-Vis, 1H NMR and FT-IR instruments. BHTP could form pH tolerant supramolecular gels in the widest range of pH values from 1 to 11. The DMSO-H2O (v : v = 1 : 1) gel exhibited selective response to OH- over a series of other anions through the color change from a white gel to a yellow solution, and the OH- response mechanism was proved by 1H NMR experiments. In solution, the lowest detection limit of BHTP for OH- was calculated to be as low as 1.62 × 10-7 M via UV-Vis titration experiments. Finally, encapsulation and controlled release of small molecules such as rhodamine B, crystal violet and methyl orange have been successfully carried out, demonstrating the potential for drug delivery application of this C3-symmetric supramolecular gel. This work opens a novel avenue for the preparation of supramolecular gel-based multiple functional smart materials.

Abstract
The field of supramolecular chemistry has long been known to generate complex materials of different sizes and shapes via the self-assembly of single or multiple low molar mass building blocks. Matching the complexity found in natural assemblies, however, remains a long-term challenge considering its precision in organizing large macromolecules into well-defined nanostructures. Nevertheless, the increasing understanding of supramolecular chemistry has paved the way to several attempts in arranging synthetic macromolecules into larger ordered structures based on non-covalent forces. This review is a first attempt to summarize the developments in this field, which focus mainly on the formation of one-dimensional, linear, cylindrical aggregates in solution with pendant polymer chains - therefore coined supramolecular polymer bottlebrushes in accordance with their covalent equivalents. Distinguishing by the different supramolecular driving forces, we first describe systems based on π-π interactions, which comprise, among others, the well-known perylene motif, but also the early attempts using cyclophanes. However, the majority of reported supramolecular polymer bottlebrushes are formed by hydrogen bonds as they can for example be found in linear and cyclic peptides, as well as so called sticker molecules containing multiple urea groups. Besides this overview on the reported motifs and their impact on the resulting morphology of the polymer nanostructures, we finally highlight the potential benefits of such non-covalent interactions and refer to promising future directions of this still mostly unrecognized field of supramolecular research.

Abstract
Weak noncovalent interactions between large disclike molecules in poorly solvating media generally lead to the formation of fibers where the molecules stack atop one another. Here, we show that a particular chiral spacing group between large aromatic moieties, which usually lead to columnar stacks, in this case gives rise to an intramolecularly folded structure in relatively polar solvents, but in very apolar solvents forms finite aggregates. The molecule that displays this behavior has a C 3 symmetric benzene-1,3,5-tris(3,3'-diamido-2,2'-bipyridine) (BTAB) core with three metalloporphyrin units appended to it through short chiral spacers. Quite well-defined chromophore arrangements are evident by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy of this compound in solution, where clear exciton coupled bands of porphyrins are observed. In more polar solvents where the molecules are dispersed, a relatively weak CD signal is observed as a result of intramolecular folding, a feature confirmed by molecular modeling. The intramolecular folding was confirmed by measuring the CD of a C 2 symmetric analogue. The C 3 symmetric BTAB cores that would normally be expected to stack in a chiral arrangement in apolar solvents show no indication of CD, suggesting that there is no transfer of chirality through it (although the expected planar conformation of the 2,2'-bipyridine unit is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy). The incorporation of the porphyrins on the 3,3'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine moiety spaced by a chiral unit leaves the latter incapable of assembling through supramolecular π-π stacking. Rather, modeling indicates that the three metalloporphyrin units interact, thanks to van der Waals interactions, favoring their close interactions over that of the BTAB units. Atomic force microscopy shows that, in contrast to other examples of molecules with the same core, disclike aggregates (rather than fibrillar one dimensional aggregates) are favored by the C 3 symmetric molecule. The closed structures are formed through nondirectional interlocking of porphyrin rings. The chiral spacer between the rigid core and the porphyrin moieties is undoubtedly important in determining the outcome in polar or less polar solvents, as modeling shows that this joint in the molecule has two favored conformations that render the molecule relatively flat or convex.

Abstract
As the benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) moiety is commonly used as the central assembling unit for the construction of functionalized supramolecular architectures, strategies to tailor the nature and stability of BTA assemblies are needed. The assembly properties of a library of structurally simple BTAs derived from amino dodecyl esters (ester BTAs, 13 members) have been studied, either in the bulk or in cyclohexane solutions, by means of a series of analytical methods (NMR, DSC, POM, FT-IR, UV-Vis, CD, ITC, high-sensitivity DSC, SANS). Two types of hydrogen-bonded species have been identified and characterized: the expected amide-bonded helical rods (or stacks) that are structurally similar to those formed by BTAs with simple alkyl side chains (alkyl BTAs), and ester-bonded dimers in which the BTAs are connected by means of hydrogen bonds linking the amide N-H and the ester C[double bond, length as m-dash]O. MM/MD calculations coupled with simulations of CD spectra allow for the precise determination of the molecular arrangement and of the hydrogen bond pattern of these dimers. Our study points out the crucial influence of the substituent attached on the amino-ester α-carbon on the relative stability of the rod-like versus dimeric assemblies. By varying this substituent, one can precisely tune the nature of the dominant hydrogen-bonded species (stacks or dimers) in the neat compounds and in cyclohexane over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations. In the neat BTAs, stacks are stable up to 213 °C and dimers above 180 °C whilst in cyclohexane stacks form at c* > 3 × 10-5 M at 20 °C and dimers are stable up to 80 °C at 7 × 10-6 M. Ester BTAs that assemble into stacks form a liquid-crystalline phase and yield gels or viscous solutions in cyclohexane, demonstrating the importance of controlling the structure of these assemblies. Our systematic study of these structurally similar ester BTAs also allows for a better understanding of how a single atom or moiety can impact the nature and stability of BTA aggregates, which is of importance for the future development of functionalized BTA supramolecular polymers.

Abstract
A series of chiral aryl amide compounds bearing peptide pendants have been investigated as low molecular weight gelators. A mechanistic study reveals that complementary hydrogen bonding from peptide pendants is the main driving force for the formation of organogels. This new class of organogels can exhibit multi-stimuli-responsive behavior upon applying (1) thermal, (2) pH, (3) enantiomeric purity, and (4) fluoride anion stimuli. Enantiomeric purity as a new external stimulus displays sensitive stimuli-responsiveness; only 0.02 equiv. of the enantiomer can completely disassemble the gel aggregate. They will serve as excellent smart materials with potential applications in chiral sensors, recognition, and separation.
