Abstract
We have designed a series of new conjugated donor-acceptor-based macrocyclic molecules using state-of-the-art computational methods. An alternating array of donors and acceptor moieties in these macrocycle molecules are considered to tune the electronic and optical properties. The geometrical, electronic, and optical properties of newly designed macrocyclic molecules are fully explored using various DFT methods. Five conjugated macrocycles of different sizes are designed considering various donor and acceptor units. The selected donor and acceptors, viz., thiophene (PT), benzodithiophene (BDT), dithienobenzodithiophene (DTBDT), diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), and benzothiazole (BT), are frequently found in high performing conjugated polymer for different organic electronic applications. To fully assess the potential of these designed macrocyclic derivatives, analyses of frontier molecular orbital energies, excited state energies, energy difference between singlet-triplet states, exciton binding energies, rate constants related to charge transfer at the donor-acceptor interfaces, and electron mobilities have been carried out. We found significant structural and electronic properties changes between cyclic compounds and their linear counterparts. Overall, the cyclic conjugated D-A macrocycles' promising electronic and optical properties suggest that these molecules can be used to replace linear polymer molecules with cyclic conjugated oligomers.

Abstract
Two kinds of π-conjugated macrocycles with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to elucidate their self-assembly behaviors and interaction with C60 on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface. Both TPEMC and TPEMCS could self-assemble into orderly cavity structures. However, C60 guest molecules could only successfully enter the cavity of TPEMC to form a stable TPEMC + C60 host-guest coassembly structure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also used to interpret the assembly mechanisms. This work disclosed the assembly characteristic of these new types of conjugated macrocyclic compounds, which was helpful to develop new structural porous luminescent materials.

Abstract
On the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface, a new porphyrin molecule MT-4 containing a porphine core with six alkyl chains and two carboxyl groups has been explored using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) technology. Solvent and pyridine regulation have been proved to be two effective ways to control and tune the supramolecular structure of MT-4 at interfaces. Different high-resolution STM (HR-STM) images with highly ordered and closely packed arrangements were gained at the corresponding liquid-solid interface, including phenyl octane (PO), 1-heptanoic acid (HA), and 1-hexanol. Except for the solvent effect, introducing pyridine derivatives such as 4,4'-vinylenedipyridine (DPE) and 4,4'-((1E,1'E)-(2,5-bis(octyloxy)-1,4-phenylene) bis(ethene-2,1-diyl)) dipyridine (PEBP-C8) is also effective to modulate the self-assembly of MT-4. With careful analysis of the STM pictures and the density functional theory (DFT) computational exploration, we figured out the molecular model, interaction energies, and self-assembly mechanism of each system at the interface. This work provides a simple and effective approach for quickly building diverse nanoarchitectures by utilizing different noncovalent interactions. Meanwhile, it would give a perspective to regulate and control self-assembly arrays for devising novel molecular-based materials through more optimal strategies.
