Abstract
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), leveraging the dynamic exchange of covalent bonds, emerge as a promising material to address the challenge of irreversible cross-linking in thermosetting polymers. In this work, we explore the introduction of a catalyst-free and associative C=C/C=N metathesis reaction into thermosetting polyurethanes, creating CANs with superior stability, solvent resistance, and thermal/mechanical properties. By incorporating this dynamic exchange reaction, stress-relaxation is significantly accelerated compared to imine-bond-only networks, with the rate adjustable by modifying substituents in the ortho position of the dynamic double bonds. The obtained plasticity enables recycle without altering the chemical structure or mechanical properties, and is also found to be vital for achieving shape memory functions with complex spatial structures. This metathesis reaction as a new dynamic crosslinker of polymer networks has the potential to accelerate the ongoing exploration of malleable and functional thermoset polymers.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared bionic selenium-baicalein nanoparticles (ACM-SSe-BE) for the targeted treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer. Due to the coating of the A549 membrane, the system has homologous targeting capabilities, allowing for the preparation of target tumor cells. The borate ester bond between selenium nanoparticles (SSe) and baicalein (BE) is pH-sensitive and can break under acidic conditions in the tumor microenvironment to achieve the targeted release of BE at the tumor site. Moreover, SSe further enhances the antitumor effect of BE by increasing the production of ROS in tumor cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed that the ACM-SSe-BE had a particle size of approximately 155 ± 2 nm. FTIR verified the successful coupling of SSe and BE. In vitro release experiments indicated that the cumulative release of ACM-SSe-BE at pH 5.5 after 24 h was 69.39 ± 1.07%, which was less than the 20% release at pH 7.4, confirming the pH-sensitive release of BE in ACM-SSe-BE. Cell uptake experiments and in vivo imaging showed that ACM-SSe-BE had good targeting ability. The results of MTT, flow cytometry, Western blot, and cell immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that ACM-SSe-BE promoted A549 cell apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation. The in vivo antitumor results were consistent with those of the cell experiments. These results clearly suggested that ACM-SSe-BE will be a promising bionic nanosystem for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Abstract
The impact of a varied sulfur oxidation state (sulfide, sulfoxide, and sulfone) on imine dynamic covalent chemistry is presented. The role of noncovalent interactions, including chalcogen bonds and CH hydrogen bonds, on aldehyde/imine structures and imine exchange reactions was elucidated through experimental and computational evidence. The change in the sulfur oxidation state and diamine linkage further allowed the regulation of imine macrocycles, providing a platform for controlling molecular assemblies.

Abstract
ConspectusMolecular polyhedral cages, notable for their enclosed inner cavities, can possess varying degrees of symmetry, spanning from regular Platonic polyhedra to lower symmetry forms that may display chirality. Crafting chiral molecular cages typically involves using building blocks containing stereogenic elements or arranging achiral components in a manner that lacks mirror and inversion symmetries. Achieving precise control over their chirality poses both significance and challenges.In this Account, we present an overview of our research endeavors in the realm of chiral molecular polyhedral cages, drawing inspiration from Buckminster Fuller's "Face-Rotating Polyhedra (FRP)". Mathematically, FRP introduce a unique form of chirality distinguished by a rotating pattern around the center of each face, setting it apart from regular polyhedra.Molecular FRP can be constructed using two types of facial building blocks. The first includes rigid, planar molecules such as truxene and triazatruxene, which exhibit either clockwise or counterclockwise rotations in two dimensions. The second category involves propeller-like molecules, e.g., tetraphenylethylene, 1,2,3,4,5-penta(4-phenylaldehyde)pyrrole, and tridurylborane, displaying dynamic stereochemistry.The synthesis of FRP may potentially yield a diverse array of stereoisomers. Achieving high stereoselectivity becomes feasible through the selection of building blocks with specific substitution patterns and rigidity. Prominent noncovalent repulsive forces within the resulting cages often play a pivotal role in the dynamic covalent assembly process, ultimately leading to the formation of thermodynamically stable FRP products.The capacity to generate a multitude of stereoisomers, combined with the integration of chiral vertices, has facilitated investigations into phenomena such as chiral self-sorting and the "sergeant and soldiers" chiral amplification effect in FRP. Even the inclusion of one chiral vertex significantly impacts the stereochemical configuration of the entire cage. While many facial building blocks establish a stable rotational pattern in FRP, other units, such as tridurylborane, can dynamically transition between P and M configurations within the cage structures. The kinetic characteristics of such stereolabile FRP can be elucidated through physicochemical investigations.Our research extends beyond the FRP concept to encompass mathematical analysis of these structures. Graph theory, particularly the coloring problem, sheds light on the intricate facial patterns exhibited by various FRP stereoisomers and serves as an efficient tool to facilitate the discovery of novel FRP structures. This approach offers a fresh paradigm for designing and analyzing chiral molecular polyhedral cages, showcasing in our work the synergy between mathematics and molecular design.

Abstract
A dynamic covalent approach was exploited to generate a family of homometallic [PtnL2n]2n+ cage (predominantly [Pt2L4]4+ systems) architectures. The family of platinum(II) architectures were characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and the molecular structures of two cages were determined by X-ray crystallography.
