Abstract
Two supramolecular complexes were prepared using cucurbiturils [CBs] as mediators and a four-armed p-xylene derivative (M1) as a guest molecule. The single crystals of these two complexes were obtained and successfully analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). An unexpected and intriguing 1 : 2 self-assembly arrangement between M1 and CB[8] was notably uncovered, marking its first observation. These host-guest complexes exhibit distinctive photophysical properties, especially emission behaviors. Invaluable insights can be derived from these single-crystal structures. The precious single-crystal structures provide both precise structural information regarding the supramolecular complexes and a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms governing their photophysical properties.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) J-aggregates attract increasing attention in many areas, especially in biomedical applications, as they combine the advantages of NIR spectroscopy with the unique J-aggregation properties of organic dyes. They enhance light absorption and have been used as effective biological imaging and therapeutic agents to achieve high-resolution imaging or effective phototherapy in vivo. In this work, we present novel J-aggregates composed of the well-known cyanine molecules. Cyanines are one of the few types of molecules whose absorption and emission can be shifted over a broad spectral range, from the ultraviolet (UV) to the NIR regime. They can easily transform into J-aggregates with narrow absorption and emission peaks, which is accompanied by a red shift in their spectra. In this work, we show, for the first time, that the tricarbocyanine dye (IR 820) has two sharp fluorescence emission bands in the NIR-II region with high photostability. These emission bands can be tuned to a desired wavelength in the range of 1150-1560 and 1675 nm, with a linear dependence on the excitation wavelength. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) images are presented, and combined with molecular modeling analysis, they confirm IR 820 π-stacked self-assembled fibrous structures.

Abstract
Synthesized melanin nanoparticles (SMNPs) are used as advanced photothermal materials. However, their internal structures are complex and disordered, and tuning the photothermal performance of nanoparticles is still a hot spot of concern. This article presents thionin (Th)-doped SMNPs, namely Th-SMNPs, which are the first SMNPs formed using the one-pot polymerization of Th with Levodopa. Th can undergo Michael addition and Schiff base reaction between indole dihydroxy/indolequinone and their oligomers to form donor-acceptor pairs in the structure to modulate the photothermal performance of SMNPs. Structural and spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory simulations further confirm the existence of the donor-acceptor structure. Th-SMNPs exhibit excellent total photothermal efficiency (34.49%) in the near-infrared region (808 nm), which is a 60% improvement compared to SMNPs. This allows Th-SMNPs to exhibit excellent photothermal performance at low power 808 nm laser irradiation. Meanwhile, Th not only enhances the photothermal properties of SMNPs, but also imparts photodynamic effects to SMNPs. Th-SMNPs can produce 1 O2 under 660 nm laser irradiation. A dual-function photothermal and photodynamic textile named Th-SMNPs@cotton is constructed based on Th-SMNPs, which can act as a rapid photothermal/photodynamic sterilization and is promising for wound healing treatment of bacterial infections under low-power dual laser irradiation.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent bone malignant tumor in children and teenagers. The bone defect, recurrence, and metastasis after surgery severely affect the life quality of patients. Clinically, bone grafts are implanted. Primary bioceramic scaffolds show a monomodal osteogenesis function. With the advances in three-dimensional printing technology and materials science, while maintaining the osteogenesis ability, scaffolds become more patient-specific and obtain additional anti-tumor ability with functional agents being loaded. Anti-tumor therapies include photothermal, magnetothermal, old and novel chemo-, gas, and photodynamic therapy. These strategies kill tumors through novel mechanisms to treat refractory osteosarcoma due to drug resistance, and some have shown the potential to reverse drug resistance and inhibit metastasis. Therefore, multifunctional three-dimensional printed bioceramic scaffolds hold excellent promise for osteosarcoma treatments. To better understand, we review the background of osteosarcoma, primary 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds, and different therapies and have a prospect for the future.

Abstract
We have separated carbon nanotubes through host-guest complexation using host molecules named "nanotweezers" and "nanocalipers". In this work, a host molecule named tetragonal "M-nanobrackets", consisting of a pair of dipyrrin nanocalipers corresponding to two brackets "[" and "]" tethered by two metals (M), is designed, synthesized, and employed to separate single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). A facile three-step process including one-pot Suzuki coupling is developed to synthesize M-nanobrackets in a 37% total yield (M = Cu). Upon extraction of SWNTs with a square nanobracket and Cu(II), in situ formed tetragonal M-nanobrackets are found to interlock SWNTs to disperse them in 2-propanol. The interlocking is confirmed by absorption and Raman spectroscopy as well as transmission electron and atomic force microscopy. Especially, Raman spectroscopy is utilized to prove the interlocking of SWNTs; Cu-nanobrackets are found to show inherent resonance Raman signals and affect the SWNT signals, or a radial breathing vibration, due to the rigid rectangular structure of Cu-nanobrackets. The interlocking is facilely and thoroughly released through demetalation to recover the pristine SWNTs as well as the square nanobracket. Such chemically controlled locking and unlocking for SWNTs are one of the characteristics of our separation process. This enables a precise evaluation by Raman, photoluminescence, and absorption spectroscopy of the diameter selectivity to SWNTs, revealing the diameter enrichment of only three kinds of SWNTs, (7,6), (9,4), and (8,5), in the 0.02 nm diameter range from 0.90 to 0.92 nm among ∼20 kinds of SWNTs from 0.76 to 1.17 nm in their diameter range.

Abstract
Herein, a new Ni-based metal–organic framework (MOF, 1) bearing highly structural stability is synthesized by the reaction of utilizing a rigid and functionalized linker, 2,6-bis(pyridin-4-yl)-1,7-dihydrobenzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]diimidazole (BBI4PY), in combination with Ni(NO3)2·6H2O and dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-3,7-dicarboxylic acid 5,5-dioxide (L1) under solvothermal conditions. The crystal structure of complex 1 is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and is demonstrated to be a two-dimensional layered structure. In addition, PXRD, IR, TGA and UV/Vis-NIR spectra are also tested carefully to explore the solid structure of this complex. Remarkably, although no significant accumulation effect could be observed between the two-dimensional layers, a stacking interaction between DMF solvent molecules and ligand L1 could be found, which might promote non-radiative transitions and trigger obvious near-infrared photothermal conversion. Under 660 nm laser (0.6 W cm−2) illumination, the temperature of complex 1 increased rapidly from room temperature to 45.2 °C, with good thermal stability and cycle durability. Its photothermal conversion efficiency could reach 10.75%. This work provides an efficient way for assessing the promise of materials in the field of photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Self-assembled photonic systems with well-organized spatial arrangement and engineered optical properties can be used as efficient energy materials and as effective biomedical agents. The lessons learned from natural light-harvesting antennas have inspired the design and synthesis of a series of biomimetic photonic complexes, including those containing strongly coupled dye aggregates with dense molecular packing and unique spectroscopic features. These photoactive components provide excellent features that could be coupled to multiple applications including light-harvesting, energy transfer, biosensing, bioimaging, and cancer therapy. Meanwhile, nanoscale DNA assemblies have been employed as programmable and addressable templates to guide the formation of DNA-directed multi-pigment complexes, which can be used to enhance the complexity and precision of artificial photonic systems and show the potential for energy and biomedical applications. This review focuses on the interface of DNA nanotechnology and biomimetic photonic systems. We summarized the recent progress in the design, synthesis, and applications of bioinspired photonic systems, highlighted the advantages of the utilization of DNA nanostructures, and discussed the challenges and opportunities they provide.

Abstract
Although the selective synthesis of complicated supramolecular architectures has seen significant progress in recent years, the exploration of the properties of these complexes remains a fascinating challenge. Herein, a series of new supramolecular topologies, metalla[2]catenanes and Borromean ring assemblies, were constructed based on appropriate Cp*Rh building blocks and two rigid alkynyl pyridine ligands (L1, L2) via coordination-driven self-assembly. Interestingly, minor differences between the two rigid alkynyl pyridine ligands with/without organic substituents led to products with dramatically different topologies. Careful structural analysis showed that π–π stacking interactions play a crucial role in stabilizing these [2]catenanes and Borromean ring assemblies, while also promoting nonradiative transitions and triggering photothermal conversion in both the solution and the solid states. These results were showcased through comparative studies of the NIR photothermal conversion efficiencies of the Borromean ring assemblies, [2]catenanes and metallarectangles, which exhibited a wide range of photothermal conversion efficiencies (12.64–72.21%). The influence of the different Cp*Rh building blocks on the NIR photothermal conversion efficiencies of their assemblies was investigated. Good photothermal conversion properties of the assemblies were also found in the solid state. This study provides a new strategy to construct valuable half-sandwich-based NIR photothermal conversion materials while also providing promising candidates for the further development of materials science. The selective synthesis of three kinds of supermolecular topologies, molecular Borromean ring, [2]catenane and metallarectangle based on two alkynyl ligands is presented. Remarkably, the NIR photothermal conversion efficiency was found to improve as the π–π stacking increases.![]()

Abstract
Rheological properties are critical for determining real applications of supramolecular gels in various fields. Correspondingly, the modulation of gel rheology will be very important for meeting real requirements. In this aspect, a few strategies were applied to tune the rheological behaviors of supramolecular gels, but some specific interactions like charge transfer (CT) interactions were less explored at the molecular level. Herein, we report a pyrene-containing derivative of diphenylalanine as a donor gelator and naphthalenediimide or 3,5-dinitrobenzene as matching acceptor molecules. It was found that the viscoelastic properties and strength of the original gel could be tuned through addition of different acceptor molecules to the original gel with changing the ratios of the selected acceptor molecules. As a result, storage modulus was continuously adjusted over a wide range from 190,000 to 50,000 Pa by CT interactions. Furthermore, the mechanism of the CT-induced change in rheological properties was understood and clarified through relevant techniques (e.g., UV-Vis, fluorescence, and FT-IR spectroscopy and TEM). The findings in this work would provide a novel strategy to modulate the rheological properties of supramolecular gels for adaption to broader fields of real applications.

Abstract
Metastasis has been widely recognized as the most lethal threats for cancer patients. Due to their special genetic and environmental context, cancer stem cells (CSCs) which are resistant to most cytotoxic drugs and radiation, are considered as the dominant culprit for metastasis. Thus, the efficient targeting and thorough elimination of CSCs are significantly urgent for the enhancement of therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we developed a facile and smart photothermal-chemo therapeutic nano-assembly system, of which the surface was modified by a sheddable PEG shell and acid-activatable pro-penetration peptide, to surmount the physiological barriers in targeting CSCs. A highly-efficient diradical-featured croconium-based photothermal agent and a natural cytotoxic heat shock protein (HSP) inhibitor were co-loaded in redox-sensitive chitosan matrices to realize the synergistic photothermal-chemo therapy. Within solid tumors, the PEG shell that prevents the nano-assembly from mononuclear phagocytic clearance could rapidly leave to expose the positively charged chitosan, and the detached iRGD could further actuate the tumor penetration of chitosan nanoparticles, and allow the CSCs targeting by selective recognition of CD44 protein. Owing to the HSP inhibition and chemo-sensitization, both the CSCs and non-CSCs could be thoroughly eliminated by the designed nano-assembly, largely inhibiting the tumor growth and metastasis. This work provides a potential strategy for CSCs-targeting drug delivery to solve the CSCs-related metastasis.

Abstract
Although a large number of novel supramolecular topologies featuring half-sandwich [Cp*Rh] units have been reported, investigations into the properties of these architectures are astoundingly rare. In addition, the bidentate ligands employed to prepare these species have remained relatively homogeneous (i.e., symmetrical bis(pyri-4-dyl) ligands). To address these paucities in the field, the novel unsymmetrical ligand L2 and the rarely reported pyri-3-dyl ligand L3, all bearing aromatic phenazine groups (an N-heterocyclic analog of anthracene), were synthesized in addition to the common symmetrical pyri-4-dyl L1. [3]Catenane, [2]catenane, and Borromean rings assemblies were constructed successfully by the self-assembly of L1 with different building blocks. Afterward, ligand L2 was applied to prepare two novel molecular-tweezer-like compounds. Lastly, a twisted [2]catenane (relative to the [2]catenane constructed using L1) and a sandwiched metallarectangle were obtained using L3. π-π stacking interactions were observed to play a significant role in stabilizing these topologies, which also promoted nonradiative migration and triggered photothermal conversion in both the solution and the solid state. In the solution state, a clear rule of thumb was derived whereby the NIR photothermal conversion efficiency increased as the π-π stacking increased, and a very high photothermal conversion efficiency (35.5-62.4%) was observed. In addition, this family of half-sandwich-based assemblies also exhibited good photothermal conversion properties in the crystalline and noncrystal powder states. This research provides a novel method to synthesize excellent NIR photothermal conversion materials featuring half-sandwich [Cp*Rh] units and points to potential applications in the near future.

Abstract
Two single-crystal structures of cucurbit[n]uril mediated supramolecular complexes were obtained in which [1+3] and [2+3] self-assembly modes are adopted due to the different sizes of cucurbit[7]uril and cucurbit[8]uril. An obvious red-shift in absorption and emission was observed compared to the guest molecule itself which makes them good biolabels.

Abstract
Supramolecular copolymers are an emerging class of materials, which bring together different properties and functionalities of multiple components via noncovalent interactions. While it is widely acknowledged that the repeating unit sequence plays an essential role on the performance of these materials, mastering and tuning the supramolecular copolymer sequence is still an open challenge. To date, only statistical supramolecular copolymers have been reported using cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates as building blocks. To enrich the diversity of tubular supramolecular copolymers, we report here a strategy of controlling their sequences by introducing an extra complementary noncovalent interaction. Hence, two conjugates bearing one electron donor and one electron acceptor, respectively, are designed. The two conjugates can individually assemble into tubular supramolecular homopolymers driven by the multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between cyclic peptides. However, the complementary charge transfer interaction between the electron donor and acceptor makes each conjugate more favorable for complexing with its counterpart, resulting in an alternating sequence of the supramolecular copolymer. Following the same principle, more functional supramolecular alternating copolymers are expected to be designed and constructed via other complementary noncovalent interactions (electrostatic interactions, metal coordination interactions, and host-guest interactions, etc.).

Abstract
Cucurbit[n]urils, the pumpkin shaped macrocyclic host molecules possessing a hydrophobic cavity and two identical carbonyl portals, have drawn a lot of attention in recent years due to their high-affinity yet dynamic molecular recognition properties in water. The reversible and stimuli-responsive nature of their host-guest complexes imparts "smart" features leading to materials with intriguing optical, mechanical and morphological properties. In this review, we focus on the design of cucurbituril based luminescent materials in aqueous media as well in solid or film state. The design principles of fluorescent complexes, small assemblies as well as supramolecular polymers along with their stimuli-responsive properties and applications in diverse areas such as optoelectronic devices, light harvesting, anti-counterfeiting and information technology, cell imaging, etc are highlighted with selected examples from recent literature. We also discuss examples of room temperature phosphorescent materials derived from purely organic luminogens in the presence of cucurbiturils.

Abstract
Herein, we report a hierarchical assembly strategy for constructing heterogeneous half-sandwich organometallic D-A (D = π-donor, A = π-acceptor) interlocked structures, and their application in near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion. Thienothiophene and diketopyrrolopyrrole groups were selected as the D and A units, leading to two homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes with D-D-D-D and A-A-A-A stacks, respectively. By the ordered secondary assembly of homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes, two unprecedented heterogeneous D-A metalla[2]catenanes comprising an unusual mixed D-A-D-D and unconventional D-A-A-A stacks were realized by the combination of multiple noncovalent interactions, as all demonstrated by a detailed X-ray crystallographic study. Benefiting from the mixed D-A stacking modes, NIR absorption of heterogeneous D-A metalla[2]catenanes is significantly enhanced in contrast to homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes. Thanks to the enhanced NIR absorption and the fluorescence quenching effect from half-sandwich organometallic fragments, heterogeneous D-A metalla[2]catenanes displayed high-performance NIR photothermal conversion properties (η = 27.3%).

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has been increasingly exploited as an advanced functional material, and its emergent light absorption property plays a crucial role in determining various utilizations. However, the rational design and efficient regulation of PDA absorption property remain a challenge due to the complex structure within PDA. In this work, we propose a facile method to regulate the light absorption behaviors of PDA by constructing donor-acceptor pairs within the microstructures through the chemical connections between indoledihydroxy/indolequinone and their oligomers with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl moiety. The detailed structural and spectral analysis, as well as the density functional theory simulation, further confirms the existence of donor-acceptor molecular pair structures, which could decrease the energy bandgap and increase the electron delocalization for enhancing light absorption across a broad spectrum. These rationally designed PDA nanoparticles with tunable absorption properties also show improved total photothermal effect and demonstrate excellent performances in solar desalination.

Abstract
With recent progress in photothermal materials, organic small molecules featured with flexibility, diverse structures, and tunable properties exhibit unique advantages but have been rarely applied in solar-driven water evaporation owing to limited sunlight absorption resulting in low solar-thermal conversion. Herein, a stable croconium derivative, named CR-TPE-T, is designed to exhibit the unique biradical property and strong π-π stacking in the solid state, which facilitate not only a broad absorption spectrum from 300 to 1600 nm for effective sunlight harvesting, but also highly efficient photothermal conversion by boosting nonradiative decay. The photothermal efficiency is evaluated to be 72.7% under 808 nm laser irradiation. Based on this, an interfacial-heating evaporation system based on CR-TPE-T is established successfully, using which a high solar-energy-to-vapor efficiency of 87.2% and water evaporation rate of 1.272 kg m-2 h-1 under 1 sun irradiation are obtained, thus making an important step toward the application of organic-small-molecule photothermal materials in solar energy utilization.

Abstract
Controlling the morphology of rod-coil molecular aggregates is crucial for studying and obtaining functional materials with exceptional properties. In this paper, we report the construction of rod-coil molecular nanoaggregates with well-defined structures. The rod-coil molecules, labeled 1a-1d, consist of a rod section, composed of phenyl and biphenyl groups, and oligoether chains with 7 and 12 repeating units. The final assembled structures showed either oblique or hexagonal columnar structures, depending on the length of the coils in the bulk state. Interestingly, in water, molecules 1a and 1c self-assemble into scrolled nanofibers and cylindrical micelles. Instead, molecules 1b and 1d, which have methyl groups decorated at the interface of the rod and coil sections, self-organize into helical nanofibers and nanorings, respectively. Thus, controlling the length of the coil chains and inserting lateral methyl groups is an effective strategy to construct precise rod-coil molecular assemblies in the bulk and in aqueous solution.

Abstract
We utilize polymer micelle to precisely control indocyanine green (ICG) J-aggregation in a fast and highly efficient way. In addition to simple encapsulation, the polymer micelle plays a role as a host template to drive ICG J-aggregation by the synergy of electrostatic and hydrophobic attractions. We further demonstrate that, due to the robust host-guest interaction, the intact of ICG J-aggregate will be secured by the polymer encapsulation during the intracellular and in vivo incubation. These features make this hierarchical assembly between ICG J-aggregate and the micelle polymer a promising biomedicine for cancer phototheranostics. Therefore the complex micelles are further modified by introduction of doxorubicin for chemotherapy and DNA aptamer for tumor targeting, and the final multi-functional micellar medicine shows high therapeutic efficacy for tumor, i.e., the tumor can be completely eliminated with no local reoccurrence and without long-term toxicity or side effects during a 24-day period after the treatment. J-aggregation of ICG is facilitated by polymer micelle Proper host-guest interactions are very critical The aggregation significantly improves the capability of ICG in phototheranostics The hierarchical assembly exhibits excellent photo/bio-stability

Abstract
Pure organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has unique advantages and various potential applications. However, it is challengeable to achieve organic RTP under visible and near-infrared (NIR)-light excitation, especially in aqueous solution. Herein we assemble difluoroboron β-diketonate compounds to form organic nanoparticles (NPs) in water. The resulting NPs are able to show efficient RTP, effective uptake, and bright imaging of HeLa cells under both visible- and NIR-light excitation. More strikingly, spectroscopic study, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and DFT calculation reveal that the efficient RTP in organic NPs is originated from dimers in their excited states. The multiple interactions and intermolecular charge transfer in the dimer structures are of significance in promoting the production of dimer triplet excited states and suppressing the nonradiative decays to boost the RTP under visible- and NIR-light irradiation in water.

Abstract
In situ photocontrol over shear-thickening of condensed colloidal dispersions is of paramount importance in a wide range of applications including process technology and photorheological fluids. Its development and practicability, however, are hampered by the lack of well-designed photoresponsive systems. Here, a colloidal suspension whose rheological behavior is readily switchable between shear-thinning and shear-thickening using an external light stimulus is reported. This smart colloidal solution contains hybrid raspberry-like colloids prepared by employing cucurbit[8]uril as a supramolecular linker to assemble functional Fe3 O4 nanoparticles onto a silica core. The formed raspberry colloids are photoresponsive and can be reversibly disassembled under UV irradiation.

Abstract
Enhancing photoluminescent emission (PL) in the near-infrared-infrared (NIR-IR) spectral region has broad applications from solar energy conversion to biological imaging. We show that self-assembled molecular dye J-aggregates (light-harvesting nanotubes, LHNs) can increase the PL emission of NIR PbS quantum dots (QDs) in both liquid and solid media more than 8-fold, promoted primarily by a long-range antenna effect and efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from donor to acceptor. To create this composite material and preserve the optical properties of the nanocrystals, we performed an in situ ligand substitution followed by a functionalization reaction using click-chemistry. This resulted in PbS QDs soluble in an aqueous environment compatible with the molecular J-aggregates (LHNs). Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that long-range diffusive exciton transport in LHNs enables efficient energy transfer to low concentrations of QDs despite there being no direct binding between molecular donors and QD acceptors. This suggests a broad application space for mixed light harvesting and photophysically active nanocomposite materials based on self-assembling molecular aggregates.

Abstract
Visible-light photoinduced electron transfer (Vis-PET) is highly important for optoelectronic devices and photoredox catalysis. Herein, we propose a supramolecular strategy to promote the Vis-PET process by charge transfer (CT) interactions. As a proof of concept, a molecular system containing 1,5-alkoxy-substituted naphthalene and viologen moieties was designed to form a CT complex in water. The HOMO/LUMO energy gap was lowered by CT interaction, which turned on the Vis-PET process to generate viologen radical cations. Moreover, when CT interaction was enhanced by cucurbit[8]uril, the efficiency of the Vis-PET process was further promoted and the required irradiation wavelength could be further red-shifted by 100 nm. The Vis-PET system exhibited an improved activity of photocatalysis, as supported by the fast photoreduction of Cytochrome c. This study represents a facile supramolecular way to fabricate radicals with maintained activity under mild conditions, which holds potential to enrich the scope of visible-light photoredox catalysis by the rational utilization of CT systems.

Abstract
Exploiting "chaperone molecule" to navigate the successful assembly energy landscapes has been extensively used in biological systems, whereas in artifical supramolecular systems the "chaperone-assisted" assembly strategy to be used for the synthesis of materials with novel structures or the structures to be hardly prepared by "conventional" methods are still far from realizing the potential functions. In this work, we present a new example of small organic molecule acting as "chaperone molecule" in the facile formation of organic molecular porous materials. This porous material is composed of pure cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) macrocycle and possesses a honeycomb-like structure with an isolated and relatively large one-dimensional (1D) nanochannel. Moreover, it has good chemical and thermal stability, and shows a good adsorption capability for large molecule loading. Importantly, with the assistance of chaperone molecules, pure CB[8] could also be recycled even from a complex aqueous solution, demonstrating a powerful purification method of CB[8] from complex systems.
