Tetrabutylammonium Halides as Selectively Bifunctional Catalysts Enabling the Syntheses of Recyclable High Molecular Weight Salicylic Acid-Based Copolyesters. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202306759. [PMID: 37710396 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202306759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
To synthesize high molecular weight poly(phenolic ester) via a living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic phenolic ester monomers remains a critical challenge due to serious transesterification and back-biting reactions. Both phenolic ester bonds in monomer and polymer chains are highly active, and it is difficult so far to distinguish them. In this work, an unprecedented selectively bifunctional catalytic system of tetra-n-butylammonium chloride (TBACl) was discovered to mediate the syntheses of high molecular weight salicylic acid-based copolyesters via a living ROP of salicylate cyclic esters (for poly(salicylic methyl glycolide) (PSMG), Mn =361.8 kg/mol, Ð<1.30). Compared to previous catalysis systems, the side reactions were suppressed remarkably in this catalysis system because phenolic ester bond in monomer can be selectively cleaved over that in polymer chains during ROP progress. Mechanistic studies reveal that the halide anion and alkyl-quaternaryammonium cation work synergistically, where the alkyl-quaternaryammonium cation moiety interacts with the carbonyl group of substrates via non-classical hydrogen bonding. Moreover, these salicylic acid-based copolyesters can be recycled to dimeric monomer under solution condition, and can be recycled to original monomeric monomers without catalyst under sublimation condition.

Abstract
The understanding of interactions between organic chromophores and biocompatible luminescent noble metal nanoclusters (NCs) leading to an energy transfer process that has applications in light-harvesting materials is still in its nascent stage. This work describes a photoluminescent supramolecular assembly, made in two stages, employing an energy transfer process between silver (Ag) NCs as the donor and a host-guest system as the acceptor that can find potential applications in diverse fields. Initially, we explored the host-guest chemistry between a cationic guest ethidium bromide and cucurbit[8]uril host to modulate the fluorescence property of the acceptor. The host-guest interactions were characterized by using UV-vis absorption, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, molecular docking, proton 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and isothermal calorimetry studies. Next, we prepared a series of blue-emitting AgNCs using different templates such as proteins and peptides. We have found that these AgNCs can be employed as a donor in the energy transfer process upon mixing with the above acceptor for emission color tuning. Our in-depth studies also revealed that surface ligands could play a key role in modulating the energy transfer efficiency. Overall, by employing a noncovalent strategy, we have tried to develop Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pairs using blue-emitting NCs and a host-guest complex that could find potential applications in constructing advanced sustainable light-harvesting, white light-emitting, and anti-counterfeiting materials.

Abstract
Double n→π* interactions between one common electron donor of the carbonyl oxygen and two individual acceptor aldehyde/imine units are presented. The structural and mechanistic insights were revealed through a collection of experimental and computational evidence. The orientation and further energetic dependence of orbital interactions were facilely regulated by the size of cyclic urea scaffolds, the bulkiness of aldehydes/imines, and the flexibility of imine macrocycles.

Abstract
Developing an artificial dynamic nanoscale molecular machine that dissipatively self-assembles far from equilibrium is fundamentally important but is significantly challenging. Herein, we report dissipatively self-assembling light-activated convertible pseudorotaxanes (PRs) that show tunable fluorescence and enable deformable nano-assemblies. A pyridinium-conjugated sulfonato-merocyanine derivative (EPMEH) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) form the 2EPMEH ⊂ CB[8] [3]PR in a 2:1 stoichiometry, which phototransforms into a transient spiropyran containing 1:1 EPSP ⊂ CB[8] [2]PR when exposed to light. The transient [2]PR thermally relaxes (reversibly) to the [3]PR in the dark accompanied by periodic fluorescence changes that include near-infrared emission. Moreover, octahedral and spherical nanoparticles are formed through the dissipative self-assembly of the two PRs, and the Golgi apparatus is dynamically imaged using fluorescent dissipative nano-assemblies.

Abstract
Cooperativity plays a critical role in self-assembly and molecular recognition. A rigid aromatic oligoamide macrocycle with a cyclodirectional backbone binds with DABCO-based cationic guests in a 2 : 1 ratio in high affinities (Ktotal ≈1013 M-2 ) in the highly polar DMF. The host-guest binding also exhibits exceptionally strong positive cooperativity quantified by interaction factors α that are among the largest for synthetic host-guest systems. The unusually strong positive cooperativity, revealed by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and fully corroborated by mass spectrometry, NMR and computational studies, is driven by guest-induced stacking of the macrocycles and stabilization from the alkyl end chains of the guests, interactions that appear upon binding the second macrocycle. With its tight binding driven by extraordinary positive cooperativity, this host-guest system provides a tunable platform for studying molecular interactions and for constructing stable supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Peptide dimerization is ubiquitous in natural protein conjugates and artificial self-assemblies. A major challenge in artificial systems remains achieving quantitative peptide heterodimerization, critical for next-generation biomolecular purification and formulation of therapeutics. Here, we employ a synthetic host to simultaneously encapsulate an aromatic and a noncanonical l-perfluorophenylalanine-containing peptide through embedded polar-π interactions, constructing an unprecedented series of heteropeptide dimers. To demonstrate the utility, this heteropeptide dimerization strategy was applied toward on-resin recognition of N-terminal aromatic residues in peptides as well as insulin, both exhibiting high recycling efficiency (>95%). This research unveils a generic approach to exploit quantitative heteropeptide dimers for the design of supramolecular (bio)systems.

Encapsulation within a coordination cage modulates the reactivity of redox-active dyes. Commun Chem 2022; 5:44.

Abstract
Confining molecules within well-defined nanosized spaces can profoundly alter their physicochemical characteristics. For example, the controlled aggregation of chromophores into discrete oligomers has been shown to tune their optical properties whereas encapsulation of reactive species within molecular hosts can increase their stability. The resazurin/resorufin pair has been widely used for detecting redox processes in biological settings; yet, how tight confinement affects the properties of these two dyes remains to be explored. Here, we show that a flexible PdII6L4 coordination cage can efficiently encapsulate both resorufin and resazurin in the form of dimers, dramatically modulating their optical properties. Furthermore, binding within the cage significantly decreases the reduction rate of resazurin to resorufin, and the rate of the subsequent reduction of resorufin to dihydroresorufin. During our studies, we also found that upon dilution, the PdII6L4 cage disassembles to afford PdII2L2 species, which lacks the ability to form inclusion complexes - a process that can be reversed upon the addition of the strongly binding resorufin/resazurin guests. We expect that the herein disclosed ability of a water-soluble cage to reversibly modulate the optical and chemical properties of a molecular redox probe will expand the versatility of synthetic fluorescent probes in biologically relevant environments.

Abstract
This study expands and combines concepts from two of our earlier studies. One study reported the complementary halogen bonding and π-π charge transfer complexation observed between isomeric electron rich 4-N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynylpyridines and the electron poor halogen bond donor, 1-(3,5-dinitrophenylethynyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-iodobenzene while the second study elaborated the ditopic halogen bonding of activated pyrimidines. Leveraging our understanding on the combination of these non-covalent interactions, we describe cocrystallization featuring ditopic halogen bonding and π-stacking. Specifically, red cocrystals are formed between the ditopic electron poor halogen bond donor 1-(3,5-dinitrophenylethynyl)-2,4,6-triflouro-3,5-diiodobenzene and each of electron rich pyrimidines 2- and 5-(4-N,N-dimethyl-aminophenylethynyl)pyrimidine. The X-ray single crystal structures of these cocrystals are described in terms of halogen bonding and electron donor-acceptor π-complexation. Computations confirm that the donor-acceptor π-stacking interactions are consistently stronger than the halogen bonding interactions and that there is cooperativity between π-stacking and halogen bonding in the crystals.

Abstract
A halogenated bowl-shaped guest, corannulene, was encapsulated in a cylindrical host, [4]cyclochrysenylene, to form a bowl-in-tube complex, which mimicked supramolecular complexes between bowl guests and carbon nanotubes. As was the case with carbon nanotubes, the cylindrical space of [4]cyclochrysenylene trapped multiple corannulene molecules in an array, and 1:2 complexes were commonly obtained with the corannulene guests with various halogen substituents (F, Cl, Br and I). Careful statistical analyses of isothermal titration calorimetry titration data succeeded in revealing the stoichiometry, and the molecular structures of the 1:2 complexes were further clarified by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Two fluorinated corannulene guests were stacked perpendicular to the cylinder axis, while two chlorinated guests were stacked with inclined orientations. The structural difference resulted in a large difference in the cooperativity of the two-stage association in solution: fluorinated corannulene guests showed negative cooperativity for the 1:2 complexation, and the other, larger halogenated corannulene guests showed positive cooperativity.

Abstract
Chalcogen⋯chalcogen interactions were investigated within four types of like⋯like and unlike YCY⋯YCY complexes (where Y = O, S, or Se). A plethora of quantum mechanical calculations, including molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), surface electrostatic potential extrema, point-of-charge (PoC), quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), noncovalent interaction (NCI), and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory-based energy decomposition analysis (SAPT-EDA) calculations, were executed. The energetic findings revealed a preferential tendency of the studied chalcogen-bearing molecules to engage in type I, II, III, or IV chalcogen⋯chalcogen interactions. Notably, the selenium-bearing molecules exhibited the most potent ability to favorably participate in all the explored chalcogen⋯chalcogen interactions. Among like⋯like complexes, type IV interactions showed the most favorable negative binding energies, whereas type III interactions exhibited the weakest binding energies. Unexpectedly, oxygen-containing complexes within type IV interactions showed an alien pattern of binding energies that decreased along with an increase in the chalcogen atomic size level. QTAIM analysis provided a solo BCP, via chalcogen⋯chalcogen interactions, with no clues as to any secondary ones. SAPT-EDA outlined the domination of the explored interactions by the dispersion forces and indicated the pivotal shares of the electrostatic forces, except type III σ-hole⋯σ-hole and di-σ-hole interactions. These observations demonstrate in better detail all the types of chalcogen⋯chalcogen interactions, providing persuasive reasons for their more intensive use in versatile fields related to materials science and drug design.

Abstract
In this article we use MP2 and CCSD(T) calculations for the A24 and S66 data sets to explore how midbond functions can be used to generate cost effective counterpoise corrected supramolecular interaction energies of noncovalent complexes. We use the A24 data set to show that the primary role of midbond functions is not to approach the complete basis set limit, but rather to ensure a balanced description of the molecules and the interaction region (unrelated to the basis set superposition error). The need for balance is a consequence of using atom centered basis sets. In the complete basis set limit, the error will disappear, but reaching the complete basis set limit is not feasible beyond small systems. For S66 we investigate the need for increasing the number of midbond centers. Results show that adding a second midbond center increases the accuracy, but the effect is secondary to changing the atom centered basis set. Further, by comparing calculations using the 3s3p2d1f1g midbond set with using aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ as midbond sets, we see that the requirements for the midbond set to be effective, is not just that it contains diffuse functions, but also that high angular momentum functions are included. By comparing two approaches for placing midbond centers we show that results are not particularly sensitive to placement as long as the placement is reasonable.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymer networks are non-covalently crosslinked soft materials that exhibit unique mechanical features such as self-healing, high toughness and stretchability. Previous studies have focused on optimizing such properties using fast-dissociative crosslinks (that is, for an aqueous system, dissociation rate constant kd > 10 s-1). Herein, we describe non-covalent crosslinkers with slow, tuneable dissociation kinetics (kd < 1 s-1) that enable high compressibility to supramolecular polymer networks. The resultant glass-like supramolecular networks have compressive strengths up to 100 MPa with no fracture, even when compressed at 93% strain over 12 cycles of compression and relaxation. Notably, these networks show a fast, room-temperature self-recovery (< 120 s), which may be useful for the design of high-performance soft materials. Retarding the dissociation kinetics of non-covalent crosslinks through structural control enables access of such glass-like supramolecular materials, holding substantial promise in applications including soft robotics, tissue engineering and wearable bioelectronics.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a phenomenon that governs molecular structural organization in nature, therefore raising research interest for the fabrication of novel nanomaterials with diverse applications in biocatalysis, biomedicine, material templating, and biosensor development. In this chapter we provide protocols for the development of supramolecular protein complexes based on host-guest interactions in the presence of the macrocyclic host, cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). CB[8] is reported to exhibit high binding affinity towards the tripeptide Phe-Gly-Gly (FGG), therefore it can be utilized as a selective adhesive of protein molecules, after fusion of FGG to an accessible protein surface.

Abstract
A brand-new self-folding biscavitand was synthesized from a feet-to-feet-connected bisresorcinarene. The X-ray crystal structure of the biscaivtand showed that the two cavities are tightly connected with four butylene linkages. The conformationally coupled two cavities accommodated two cationic guests, showing a homotropic negative cooperativity in nonpolar solvents (toluene and chloroform). A polar tetrahydrofuran solvent weakened the cyclic hydrogen bonding interactions of the biscavitand, which resulted in noncooperative guest binding.

Abstract
Platinum terpyridyl complexes, stacked on top of one another and secured as dimers with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) in aqueous medium, were functionalized quantitatively and in situ with a pair of pentapeptides Phe-(Gly)3-Cys by grafting their cysteine residues to the Pt centers. The resulting CB[8]·(Pt·peptide)2 assemblies were used to target secondary hosts CB[7] and CB[8] via their pair of phenylalanine residues, again in situ. A series of well-defined architectures, including a supramolecular “pendant necklace” with hybrid head-to-head and head-to-tail arrangements inside CB[8], were obtained during the self-sorting process after combining only 3 or 4 simple building units. A platinum terpyridyl complex, pentapeptide Phe-(Gly)3-Cys and cucurbit[8]uril assemble into a “pendant necklace” with hybrid head-to-head and head-to-tail arrangements in aqueous medium.![]()

Abstract
In order to explore how cucurbituril hosts accommodate an N-phenyl-pyridinium derivative guest, the complexation of the solvatochromic dye, 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-1-phenylpyridinium iodide (PhSt) with ,',δ,δ'-tetramethyl-cucurbit[6]uril (Me4CB6) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) was investigated by absorption spectroscopic, fluorescence and NMR experiments. In aqueous solutions, PhSt forms 1:1 complexes with both cucurbiturils, the complex with CB7 has a higher stability constant (Ka = 6.0 × 106 M-1) than the complex with Me4CB6 (Ka = 1.1 × 106 M-1). As revealed by NMR experiments and confirmed by theoretical calculations, CB7 encapsulates the whole phenylpyridinium entity of the PhSt cation guest, whereas the cavity of Me4CB6 includes only the phenyl ring, the pyridinium ring is bound to the carbonyl rim of the host. The binding of PhSt to cucurbiturils is accompanied by a strong enhancement of the fluorescence quantum yield due to the blocking of the deactivation through a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state. The TICT mechanism in PhSt was characterized by fluorescence experiments in polyethylene glycol (PEG) solvents of different viscosities. The PhSt-CB7 system was tested as a fluorescence indicator displacement (FID) assay, and it recognized trimethyl-lysine selectively over other lysine derivatives.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) as the biomarker of early stage ovarian cancer is essentially difficult to detect due to lack of target spots. A dually crosslinked supramolecular hydrogel (DCSH) was developed to achieve sensing of LPA, which acts as a competitive guest molecule triggering the responsive crosslinking of the DCSH. Through this strategy, the surface plasmon resonance combined with optical waveguide spectroscopy could be used to quantitatively detect LPA with a responsive range covering physiological conditions (in pure form as well as mimicking LPA plasma solution) with high selectivity and sensitivity. LPA efficiently immerses into the host molecule β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) up to a 1:2 ratio by the competitive interaction mechanism, confirmed by one-dimensional nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (1D NOESY), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and computational simulation. Our method opens a new strategy to detect biomarkers without target spots and provides a platform for surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based sensors measuring small molecules.

Abstract
Host-guest physical cross-linking has been used to prepare supramolecular hydrogels for various biomedical applications. More recent efforts to endow these materials with stimuli-responsivity offers an opportunity to precisely tune their function for a target use. In the context of light-responsive materials, azobenzenes are one prevailing motif. Here, an asymmetric azobenzene was explored for its ability to form homoternary complexes with the cucurbit[8]uril macrocycle, exhibiting an affinity (Keq) of 6.21 × 1010 M-2 for sequential binding, though having negative cooperativity. Copolymers were first prepared from different and tunable ratios of NIPAM and DMAEA, and DMAEA groups were then postsynthetically modified with this asymmetric azobenzene. Upon macrocycle addition, these polymers formed supramolecular hydrogels; relaxation dynamics increased with temperature due to temperature-dependent affinity reduction for the ternary complex. Application of UV light disrupted the supramolecular motif through azobenzene photoisomerization, prompting a gel-to-sol transition in the hydrogel. Excitingly, within several minutes at room temperature, thermal relaxation of azobenzene to its trans state afforded rapid hydrogel recovery. By revealing this supramolecular motif and employing facile means for its attachment onto pre-synthesized polymers, the approach described here may further enable stimuli-directed control of supramolecular hydrogels for a number of applications.

Abstract
Herein, we propose a new method for promoting the degradation of a perylene diimide (PDI) dye, through a Fenton reaction with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) as a supramolecular catalyst. The CB[8] can encapsulate the hydrophobic moiety of the PDI dye and inhibit its aggregation in aqueous solutions, thus increasing the collision frequency between the PDI and oxidants to accelerate the reaction. As a result, the encapsulated PDI molecule is preferentially degraded, followed by freeing the cavity of CB[8] and enabling it to encapsulate another PDI molecule to realize a catalytic cycle. Hence, a catalytic amount of CB[8] is sufficient to accelerate the the Fenton degradation. It is anticipated that this work will extend the realm of supramolecular catalysis systems and enrich the field of degradation of polycyclic aromatic dyes.

Abstract
AbstractIn this short review, different phenomena that are triggered by the interaction of different compounds or clusters of compounds with electron-deficient systems, in particular beryllium and boron compounds, have been discussed in some detail. Particular attention was devoted to the huge acidity enhancements that can be induced through the interaction of conventional bases with B or Be containing compounds, which change these conventional bases in extremely strong proton donors. We have paid also attention to the cooperativity between Be bonds with other weak interactions, which results in a substantial increase of their strength, that can lead in some specific cases to the spontaneous formation of ion-pairs in the gas phase. Finally, the behavior of different Be derivatives as electron and anion sponges is discussed as well as the conditions needed to have clusters exhibiting rather strong Be–Be bonds, even though the Be–Be interaction in Be2 dimer is extremely weak. Finally, some attention was paid to systems with extremely short Be–Be distances but without a bond.

Abstract
Phenyl-perfluorophenyl polar-π interactions have been revisited for the design and fabrication of functional supramolecular systems. The relatively weak associative interactions (ΔG ≈ -1.0 kcal/mol) have limited their use in aqueous self-assembly to date. Herein, we propose a strategy to strengthen phenyl-perfluorophenyl polar-π interactions by encapsulation within a synthetic host, thus increasing the binding affinity to ΔG= -15.5 kcal/mol upon formation of heteroternary complexes through social self-sorting. These heteroternary complexes were used as dynamic, yet strong, cross-linkers in the fabrication of supramolecular gels, which exhibited excellent viscoelasticity, stretchability, self-recovery, self-healing, and energy dissipation. This work unveils a general approach to exploit host-enhanced polar-π interactions in the design of robust aqueous supramolecular systems.

Abstract
Compared with conventional drug delivery systems (DDSs), DDSs based on host-guest interactions possess unique advantages, such as high selectivity, tunable binding ability, and controllable release of drugs. It is important to study the host-guest interactions between the carrier and drug under physiological conditions for constructing DDSs. In this work, we have studied the host-guest interaction between cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and oxaliplatin (OxPt), a clinical antitumor drug, in the cell culture medium. The results show that amino acids such as phenylalanine in the 1640 culture medium can partially occupy the cavity of CB[7], which leads to the decrease of enthalpy changes of the host-guest interaction between OxPt and CB[7]. In addition, inorganic salts such as NaCl in the medium reduce the enthalpy change and increase the entropy change of the binding because of the preorganization of the portal of CB[7] and sodium cation. As a result, the binding constant of CB[7] with OxPt in the 1640 culture medium is 1/20 of that in pure water. When CB[7] is modified at the terminal of star-type PEG to construct the star-PEGylated CB[7], it is shown that the molecular weight and topological structure of the PEG polymer backbone exhibit little effect on the host-guest interactions between CB[7] and OxPt. This study enriches the host-guest chemistry of cucurbiturils and may provide guidance for constructing novel DDSs based on host-guest interactions with high loading and releasing efficiency.

Abstract
In this work, the structural fluctuations and vibrational energy transfer dynamics in a supramolecular homodimer model, which is composed of 2-(9-anthracene)ureido-6-(1-undecyl)-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPAn) with quadruple intermolecular and single intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs), have been examined using ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) and steady-state IR spectroscopies. A less structurally fluctuating intermolecular HB is found between the pyrimidinone C═O and ureido N-H groups. However, a larger structurally fluctuating intramolecular HB is suggested by the equilibrium and dynamical line-shape measurements of the ureido C═O stretch. Further, dynamical time-dependent 2D IR diagonal and off-diagonal signals show that intra- and intermolecular vibrational energy transfer processes occur on the picosecond timescale, where the latter is more efficient due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction and through-space interaction.

Abstract
The unique monomer and excimer fluorescence emissions of pyrene were first exploited as distinctly photophysical signals to identify the possible diastereomers of guests within nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril (NS-CB[10]) cavities. Further experiments revealed that balancing the hydrophilic and hydrophobic effects of the guest in aqueous solution can improve the molecular recognition and binding ability of NS-CB[10].

Abstract
Macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, exhibit unparalleled advantages in disease diagnosis and therapy over the past years by fully taking advantage of their host-guest molecular recognitions. The dynamic nature of the non-covalent interactions and selective host-guest complexation endow the resultant nanomaterials with intriguing properties, holding promising potentials in theranostic fields. Interestingly, the differences in microenvironment between the abnormal and normal cells/tissues can be employed as the stimuli to modulate the host-guest interactions, realizing the purpose of precise diagnosis and specific delivery of drugs to lesion sites. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular theranostics on the basis of host-guest chemistry benefiting from their fantastic topological structures and outstanding supramolecular chemistry. These state-of-the-art examples provide new methodologies to overcome the obstacles faced by the traditional theranostic systems, promoting their clinical translations.

Abstract
Three new hydrogen-bonded aromatic amide macrocycles with eight residues were synthesized. The first single crystal structure of this class of larger macrocycles was obtained, which reveals a saddle-like conformation. Interestingly, in sharp contrast to previous negative cooperativity in binding paraquat with cyclo[6]aramide, strong positive allosteric cooperativity in ternary complexes was observed. This may open an avenue for the construction of mechanically interlocked molecules with these larger H-bonded macrocycles.

Abstract
Development of biocompatible polymeric systems capable of cell adhesion and proliferation is a challenging task. Proper cross-linking of small cell adhesive peptide sequences is useful in this respect as it provides the inherent nontoxic environment as well as the cross-linked polymeric network to the cells for adhesion and proliferation. A multiple cross-linking strategy is applied to create a peptide-based cross-linked polymer. Covalent linkage through disulfide bond formation, supramolecular linkage using homoternary complexation by CB[8], and enzymatic cross-linking by HRP-mediated dimerization of tyrosine are used to prepare the cross-linked, peptide-based polymer decorated with cell-adhesive RGDS sequence. The supramolecular cross-linking via CB[8] provided stability as well as brings the RGDS sequences at the surface of the polymer particles. The order of cross-linking allowed to fine-tune the particle size of the polymer and polymer particles of wide range (200-1000 nm) can be prepared by varying the order. The cross-linked polymer particles (P1 and P2) were found to be stable at wide range of temperature and pH. Moreover, as intended, the polymer was noncytotoxic in nature and showed efficient cell adhesion and proliferation property, which can be used for further biological applications.

Abstract
Rigid linear compounds G1 and G2, which contained two 4-phenylpyridinium (PhPy+ ) units, have been prepared to investigate their binding with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). X-ray crystallographic structures revealed that in the solid state both compounds were included by CB[8], through antiparallel stacking, to form 2:2 quaternary complexes (G1)2 @(CB[8])2 and (G2)2 @(CB[8])2 . For the former complex, CB[8] entrapped G1 by holding two heterodimers of its Py+ and benzyl units, which were at opposite ends of the backbone. In contrast, for the first time, the second complex disclosed parallel stacking of two cationic Py+ units of G2 in the cavity of CB[8] in the solid state, despite the generation of important electrostatic repulsion. Isothermal titrations in water afforded high apparent association constants of 4.36×106 and 6.43×106 m-1 for 1:1 complexes G1@CB[8] and G2@CB[8], respectively, and 1 H NMR spectroscopy experiments in D2 O confirmed a similar stacking pattern to that observed in the solid state. A previous study and crystal structures of the 2:1 complexes formed between three new controls, G3-5, and CB[8] did not display such unusual stacking of the cationic Py+ unit; this may be attributed to the multivalency of the two CB[8] encapsulation interactions.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a powerful tool to create functional materials. A specific application for which self-assembled materials are ideally suited is in creating injectable biomaterials. Contrasting with traditional biomaterials that are implanted through surgical means, injecting biomaterials through the skin offers numerous advantages, expanding the scope and impact for biomaterials in medicine. In particular, self-assembled biomaterials prepared from molecular or colloidal interactions have been frequently explored. The strategies to create these materials are varied, taking advantage of engineered oligopeptides, proteins, and nanoparticles as well as affinity-mediated crosslinking of synthetic precursors. Self-assembled materials typically facilitate injectability through two different mechanisms: i) in situ self-assembly, whereby materials would be administered in a monomeric or oligomeric form and self-assemble in response to some physiologic stimulus, or ii) self-assembled materials that, by virtue of their dynamic, non-covalent interactions, shear-thin to facilitate flow within a syringe and subsequently self-heal into its reassembled material form at the injection site. Indeed, many classes of materials are capable of being injected using a combination of these two mechanisms. Particular utility has been noted for self-assembled biomaterials in the context of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and immunoengineering. Given the controlled and multifunctional nature of many self-assembled materials demonstrated to date, we project a future where injectable self-assembled biomaterials afford improved practice in advancing healthcare.

Abstract
Positive cooperativity achieved through activating weak non-covalent interactions is common in biological assemblies but is rarely observed in synthetic complexes. Two new molecular tubes have been synthesized and the syn isomer binds DABCO-based organic cations with high orientational selectivity. Surprisingly, the ternary complex with two hosts and one guest shows a high cooperativity factor (α=580), which is the highest reported for synthetic systems without involving ion-pairing interactions. The X-ray single-crystal structure revealed that the strong positive cooperativity likely originates from eight C-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds between the two head-to-head-arranged syn tube molecules. These relatively weak hydrogen bonds were not observed in the free hosts and only emerged in the complex. Furthermore, this complex was used as a basic motif to construct a robust [2+2] cyclic assembly, thus demonstrating its potential in molecular self-assembly.

Abstract
Supramolecular catalysis aims to modulate chemical reactions on both selectivity and rate by taking advantage of supramolecular chemistry. However, due to the effect of product inhibition, supramolecular catalysts are usually added in stoichiometric amounts. Herein, we report a supramolecular catalysis system in which 1% of the supramolecular catalyst, cucurbit[8]uril, is able to significantly accelerate the photodimerization of Brooker's merocyanine. This catalytic process is realized in a cyclic manner because the photodimerized product can be spontaneously replaced by monomeric reactants via competitive host-guest complexation. Thus, a catalytic amount of cucurbit[8]uril is sufficient to accomplish photodimerization within 10 min. This line of research will enrich the field of supramolecular catalysis and allow the development of more efficient catalytic systems.
