Abstract
Azobenzene-containing small molecules and polymers are functional photoswitchable molecules to form supramolecular nanomaterials for various applications. Recently, supramolecular nanomaterials have received enormous attention in material science because of their simple bottom-up synthesis approach, understandable mechanisms and structural features, and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Azobenzene is a light-responsive functional moiety in the molecular design of small molecules and polymers and is used to switch the photophysical properties of supramolecular nanomaterials. Herein, we review the latest literature on supramolecular nano- and micro-materials formed from azobenzene-containing small molecules and polymers through the combinatorial effect of weak molecular interactions. Different classes including complex coacervates, host-guest systems, co-assembled, and self-assembled supramolecular materials, where azobenzene is an essential moiety in small molecules, and photophysical properties are discussed. Afterward, azobenzene-containing polymers-based supramolecular photoresponsive materials formed through the host-guest approach, polymerization-induced self-assembly, and post-polymerization assembly techniques are highlighted. In addition to this, the applications of photoswitchable supramolecular materials in pH sensing, and CO2 capture are presented. In the end, the conclusion and future perspective of azobenzene-based supramolecular materials for molecular assembly design, and applications are given.

Abstract
![]()
A combination of
statistical and triblock copolymer properties
is explored to produce stable aqueous polymer dispersions suitable
for the film formation. In order to perform an extensive structural
characterization of the products in the dissolved, dispersed, and
solid states, a wide range of symmetrical poly(acrylic acid-stat-styrene)x-block-poly(butyl acrylate)y-block-poly(acrylic acid-stat-styrene)x, poly(AA-st-St)x-b-PBAy-b-poly(AA-st-St)x, (x = 56, 108 and 140, y = 100–750;
the AA:St molar ratio is 42:58) triblock copolymers were synthesized
by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)
solution polymerization using a bifunctional symmetrical RAFT agent.
It is demonstrated that the amphiphilic statistical outer blocks can
provide sufficient stabilization to largely hydrophobic particles
in aqueous dispersions. Such a molecular design provides an advantage
over copolymers composed only of homoblocks, as a simple variation
of the statistical block component ratio provides an efficient way
to control the hydrophilicity of the stabilizer block, which ultimately
affects the copolymer morphology in solutions and solid films. It
was found by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) that the copolymers
behaved as dissolved chains in methylethylketone (MEK) but self-assembled
in water into stable and well-defined spherical particles that increased
in size with the length of the hydrophobic PBA block. These particles
possessed an additional particulate surface structure formed by the
statistical copolymer stabilizer block, which self-folded through
the hydrophobic interactions between the styrene units. SAXS and atomic
force microscopy showed that the copolymer films cast from the MEK
solutions formed structures predicted by self-consistent field theory
for symmetrical triblock copolymers, while the aqueous dispersions
formed structural morphologies similar to a close-packed spheres,
as would be expected for copolymer particles trapped kinetically due
to the restricted movement of the blocks in the initial aqueous dispersion.
A strong correlation between the structural morphology and mechanical
properties of the films was observed. It was found that the properties
of the solvent cast films were highly dependent on the ratios of the
hard [poly(AA-st-St)] and soft (PBA) blocks, while
the aqueous cast films did not show such a dependence. The continuous
phase of hard blocks, always formed in the case of the aqueous cast
films, produced films with a higher elastic modulus and a lower extension-to-break
in a comparison with the solvent-cast films.

Abstract
Amphiphilic polymers can self-assemble to form nanoparticles with different structures under suitable conditions. Polymer nanoparticles functionalized with aromatic azo groups are endowed with photo-responsive properties. In recent years, a variety of photoresponsive polymers and nanoparticles have been developed based on azobenzene, using different molecular design strategies and synthetic routes. This article reviews the progress of this rapidly developing research field, focusing on the structure, synthesis, assembly and response of photo-responsive polymer assemblies. According to the molecular structure, photo-responsive polymers can be divided into linear polymers containing azobenzene in a side chain, linear polymers containing azobenzene in the main chain, linear polymers containing azobenzene in an end group, branched polymers containing azobenzene and supramolecular polymers containing azobenzene. These systems have broad biomedical application prospects in the field of drug delivery and imaging applications.

Abstract
Azobenzene derivatives due to their photo- and electroactive properties are an important group of compounds finding applications in diverse fields. Due to the possibility of controlling the trans-cis isomerization, azo-bearing structures are ideal building blocks for development of e.g. nanomaterials, smart polymers, molecular containers, photoswitches, and sensors. Important role play also macrocyclic compounds well known for their interesting binding properties. In this article selected macrocyclic compounds bearing azo group(s) are comprehensively described. Here, the relationship between compounds' structure and their properties (as e.g. ability to guest complexation, supramolecular structure formation, switching and motion) is reviewed.
