Abstract
How to use and deliver drugs to diseased and damaged areas has been one of the main concerns of pharmacologists and doctors for a long time. With the efforts of researchers, the advancement of technology, and the involvement of engineering in the health field, diverse and promising approaches have been studied and used to achieve this goal. A better understanding of biomaterials and the ability of production equipment led researchers to offer new drug delivery systems to the world. In recent decades, responsive polymers (exclusively to temperature and pH) and supramolecular polymers have received much attention due to their unique capabilities. Although this field of research still needs to be scrutinized and studied more, their recognition, examination, and use as drug delivery systems is a start for a promising future. This review study, focusing on temperature-responsive and supramolecular biomaterials and their application as drug delivery systems, deals with their structure, properties, and role in the noninvasive and effective delivery of medicinal agents.

Abstract
Self-assembly of M(ClO4)2 (M(II) = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)) with dicyclopentyldi(pyridine-3-yl)silane (L) as a donor in a mixture of acetonitrile and toluene produces crystals consisting of M6L12 double-stranded macrocycles. The geometry around the M(II) cations is a typical octahedral arrangement, but the metallamacrocycles' outer axial coordination environment is sensitive to the M(II) cations. The conformation of the unique metallamacrocycles is informatively dependent on the nature of the coordination around the M(II) cations via subtle co-ligand competition among perchlorate anions, water, and acetonitrile. Both the coordinated acetonitriles and the solvate molecules of the crystals are removed at 170 °C, thereby transforming the crystals into new crystals that return to their original form in the mixture of toluene and acetonitrile. Catalytic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol using [Cu6(ClO4)8(CH3CN)4L12]4ClO4·5C7H8 is much faster than those using the transformed product, [Cu(ClO4)2L2], and a simple mixture of Cu(ClO4)2 + L.

Abstract
The presence of a hydration layer in humid and underwater environments challenges adhesive-substrate interactions and prevents effective bonding, which has become a significant obstacle to the development of adhesives in the industrial and biomedical fields. In this study, ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW) silk-elastin-like proteins (SELP) with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) converted from tyrosine residues by tyrosinase exhibited excellent adhesive properties on different interfaces, such as glass, aluminum, wood, polypropylene sheets, and pigskin, under both dry and wet conditions. Additionally, by incorporating trace amounts of cross-linking agents like Fe3+, NaIO4, and tris(hydroxymethyl) phosphine (THP), the mussel-inspired adhesives maintained a stable and excellent adhesion, broadening the conditions of application. Notably, the UHMW SELP adhesive exhibited remarkable underwater adhesion properties with a shear strength of 0.83 ± 0.17 MPa on glass. It also demonstrated good adhesion to biological tissues including the kidney, liver, heart, and lungs. In vitro cytocompatibility testing using L929 cells showed minimal toxicity, highlighting its potential application in the biomedical field. The sustainable, cytocompatible, cost-effective, and highly efficient adhesive provides valuable insights for the design and development of a new protein-based underwater adhesive for medical application.

Abstract
Recently, stimuli-responsive supramolecular gels have received significant attention because their properties can be modulated through external stimuli such as heat, light, electricity, magnetic fields, mechanical stress, pH, ions, chemicals and enzymes. Among these gels, stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels have shown promising applications in material science because of their fascinating redox, optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In this review, research progress on stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels in recent years is systematically summarized. According to external stimulus sources, stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels, including chemical, physical and multiple stimuli-responsive metallogels, are discussed separately. Moreover, challenges, suggestions and opportunities regarding the development of novel stimuli-responsive metallogels are presented. We believe the knowledge and inspiration gained from this review will deepen the current understanding of stimuli-responsive smart metallogels and encourage more scientists to provide valuable contributions to this topic in the coming decades.

Abstract
The unique role of the zinc (II) cation prompted us to cut a cross-section of the large and complex topic of the stimuli-responsive coordination polymers (CPs). Due to its flexible coordination environment and geometries, easiness of coordination-decoordination equilibria, "optically innocent" ability to "clip" the ligands in emissive architectures, non-toxicity and sustainability, the zinc (II) cation is a good candidate for building supramolecular smart tools. The review summarizes the recent achievements of zinc-based CPs as stimuli-responsive materials able to provide a chromic response. An overview of the past five years has been organised, encompassing 1, 2 and 3D responsive zinc-based CPs; specifically zinc-based metallorganic frameworks and zinc-based nanosized polymeric probes. The most relevant examples were collected following a consequential and progressive approach, referring to the structure-responsiveness relationship, the sensing mechanisms, the analytes and/or parameters detected. Finally, applications of highly bioengineered Zn-CPs for advanced imaging technique have been discussed.

Abstract
Introduction of asymmetry into a supramolecular system via external chiral stimuli can contribute to the understanding of the intriguing homochirality found in nature. Circularly polarized light (CPL) is regarded as a chiral physical force with right- or left-handedness. It can induce and modulate supramolecular chirality due to preferential interaction with one enantiomer. Herein, this review focuses on the photon-to-matter chirality transfer mechanisms at the supramolecular level. Thus, asymmetric photochemical reactions are reviewed, and the creation of a chiral bias upon CPL irradiation is discussed. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms for the amplification and propagation of the bias into the supramolecular level are outlined based on the nature of the photochromic building block. Representative examples, including azobenzene derivatives, polydiacetylene, bicyclic ketone, polyfluorenes, Cn -symmetric molecules, and inorganic nanomaterials, are presented.

Abstract
Here, we present a method for the building of new bicyclic heterometallic cross-linked supramolecular polymers by hierarchical unification of three types of orthogonal noncovalent interactions, including platinum(II)-pyridine coordination-driven self-assembly, zinc-terpyridine complex, and host-guest interactions. The platinum-pyridine coordination provides the primary driving force to form discrete rhomboidal metallacycles. The assembly does not interfere with the zinc-terpyridine complexes, which link the discrete metallacycles into linear supramolecular polymers, and the conjugation length is extended upon the formation of the zinc-terpyridine complexes, which red-shifts the absorption and emission spectra. Finally, host-guest interactions via bis-ammonium salt binding to the benzo-21-crown-7 (B21C7) groups on the platinum acceptors afford the cross-linked supramolecular polymers. By continuous increase of the concentration of the supramolecular polymer to a relatively high level, supramolecular polymer gel is obtained, which exhibits self-healing properties and reversible gel-sol transitions stimulated by various external stimuli, including temperature, K+, and cyclen. Moreover, the photophysical properties of the supramolecular polymers could be effectively tuned by varying the substituents of the precursor ligands.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers have received considerable attention during the last few decades due to their scientific value in polymer chemistry and profound implications for future developments of advanced materials. Discrete supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with well-defined size, shape, and geometry have been widely employed to construct hierarchical systems by coordination-driven self-assembly with the spontaneous formation of metal-ligand bonds, which results in the formation of well-defined two-dimensional (2D) metallacycles or three-dimensional (3D) metallacages with high functionalities. The incorporation of discrete SCCs into supramolecular polymers by the orthogonal combination of metal-ligand coordination and other noncovalent interactions or covalent bonding could further facilitate the construction of novel supramolecular polymers with hierarchical architectures and multiple functions including controllable uptake and release of guest molecules, providing a flexible platform for the development of smart materials. In this review, the recent progress in metallacycle/metallacage-cored supramolecular polymers that were constructed by the combination of metal-ligand interactions and other orthogonal interactions (including hydrophobic or hydrophilic interactions, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, π-π stacking, electrostatic interactions, host-guest interactions and covalent bonding) has been discussed. In addition, the potential applications of metallacycle/metallacage-cored supramolecular polymers in the areas of light emitting, sensing, bio-imaging, delivery and release, etc., are also presented.
