Abstract
Controlling the self-assembly of nanoparticle building blocks into macroscale soft matter structures is an open question and of fundamental importance to fields as diverse as nanomedicine and next-generation energy storage. Within the vast library of nanoparticles, the fullerenes-a family of quasi-spherical carbon allotropes-are not explored beyond the most common, C60. Herein, a facile one-pot method is demonstrated for functionalizing fullerenes of different sizes (C60, C70, C84, and C90-92), yielding derivatives that self-assemble in aqueous solution into supramolecular hydrogels with distinct hierarchical structures. It is shown that the mechanical properties of these resultant structures vary drastically depending on the starting material. This work opens new avenues in the search for control of macroscale soft matter structures through tuning of nanoscale building blocks.

Abstract
Water-soluble metallo-supramolecular cages with well-defined nanosized cavities have a wide range of functions and applications. Herein, we design and synthesize two series of metallo-supramolecular octahedral cages based on the self-assembly of two congeneric truxene-derived tripyridyl ligands modified with two polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, i.e., monodispersed tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and polydispersed PEG-1000, with four divalent transition metals (i.e., Pd, Cu, Ni, and Zn). The resulting monodispersed cages C1-C4 are fully characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The polydispersed cages C5-C8 display good water solubilities and can act as nanoreactors to mediate visible-light-promoted C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions in an aqueous phase. In particular, the most robust Pd(II)-linked water-soluble polydispersed nanoreactor C5 is characterized by ESI-MS and capable of mediating the reactions with the highest efficiencies. Detailed host-guest binding studies in conjunction with control studies suggest that these cages could encapsulate the substrates simultaneously inside its hydrophobic cavity while interacting with the photosensitizer (i.e., eosin Y).

Abstract
We herein report the preparation of a series of hexaphenylbenzene (HPB)-based deep blue-emissive metallacages via multicomponent coordination-driven self-assembly. These metallacages feature prismatic structures with HPB derivatives as the faces and tetracarboxylic ligands as the pillars, as evidenced by NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction analysis. Light-harvesting systems were further constructed by employing the metallacages as the donor and a naphthalimide derivative (NAP) as the acceptor, owing to their good spectral overlap. The judiciously chosen metallacage serves as the antenna, providing the suitable energy to excite the non-emissive NAP, and thus resulting in bright emission for NAP in the solid state. This study provides a type of HPB-based multicomponent emissive metallacage and explores their applications as energy donors to light up non-emissive fluorophores in the solid state, which will advance the development of emissive metallacages as useful luminescent materials.

Self-Assembly of Alkylamido Isophthalic Acids toward the Design of a Supergelator: Phase-Selective Gelation and Dye Adsorption. Gels 2022; 8:gels8050285.

Abstract
A new series of 5-alkylamido isophthalic acid (ISA) derivatives with varying single and twin alkyl chain lengths were designed and synthesized as potential supramolecular organogelators. 5-alkylamido ISAs with linear or branched alkyl tail-groups of different lengths were effective gelators for low polarity solvents. In particular, among the presented series, a derivative with a branched, 24 carbon atom tail-group behaves as a “supergelator” with up to twenty organic solvents forming gels that are highly stable over time. The gelation behavior was analyzed using Hansen solubility parameters, and the thermal stability and viscoelastic properties of select gels were characterized. Microscopy, spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and computer modeling studies were consistent with a hierarchical self-assembly process involving the formation of cyclic H-bonded hexamers via the ISA carboxylic acid groups, which stack into elementary fibers stabilized by H-bonding of the amide linker groups and π–π stacking of the aromatic groups. These new nanomaterials exhibited potential for the phase-selective gelation of oil from oil–water mixtures and dye uptake from contaminated water. The work expands upon the design and synthesis of supramolecular self-assembled nanomaterials and their application in water purification/remediation.

Abstract
This Review focuses on the current research advances of the synthesis of various amphiphilic block copolymers (ABCs), such as conventional ABCs and newly-presented polyprodrug amphiphiles (PPAs), and the development of corresponding self-assemblies in selective solvents driven by the intermolecular interactions, like noncovalent hydrophobic interactions, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonds, between ABCs or preformed small polymeric nanoparticles. The design of these assemblies is systematically introduced, and the diverse examples concerning the unique assembly structures along with the fast development of their exclusive properties and various applications in different fields were discussed. Possible perspectives on the existential challenges and glorious future were elucidated finally. We hope this review will provide a convenient way for readers to motivate more evolutional innovative concepts and methods to design next generation of novel polymeric nanoassemblies, and fill the gap between material design and practical applications.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The photostability and dispersity under aggregation states always become an obstacle for the development of small-molecular organic dye (SMOD) composites. Herein, a novel supramolecular assembly strategy with a two-step assembly method is implemented to encapsulate SMODs for improving their photostability and acquiring uniformly dispersed nanoaggregates in aqueous solution. By the novel assembly strategy, photodegradation rates of the anthraquinone-type dyes can decrease significantly, and the stability of dispersed nanoassembly bodies can be improved in solution. Based on the two-step supramolecular assembly strategy, a new kind of aqueous processing composite system can be developed for preparing multiband laser-responsive devices and in situ healing of optical composite films. This two-step supramolecular assembly strategy can provide a new template and reference for improving the defects of SMODs and fabricating high-performance optical devices.

Abstract
Catalyst- and reagent-free reactions are powerful tools creating various functional molecules and materials. However, such chemical bonds are usually hydrolysable or require specific functional groups, which limits their use in aqueous media. Herein, we report the development of new amphiphiles through the Staudinger reaction. Simple mixing of chlorinated aryl azide with a hydrophilic moiety and various triarylphosphines (PAr3) gave rise to azaylide-based amphiphiles NPAr3, rapidly and quantitatively. The obtained NPAr3 formed ca. 2 nm-sized spherical aggregates (NPAr3)n in water. The hydrolysis of NPAr3 was significantly suppressed as compared with those of non-chlorinated amphiphiles nNPAr3. Computational studies revealed that the stability is mainly governed by the decrease in LUMO around the phosphorus atom owing to the o-substituted halogen groups. Furthermore, hydrophobic dyes such as Nile red and BODIPY were encapsulated by the spherical aggregates (NPAr3)n in water.

Abstract
The development of the supramolecular coordination complex with different shapes and dimensionalities lays the basis for its application in different areas. In this study, a porphyrin-based 3D organo-Pt(II) metallatriangle (MTA) was fabricated through the reported method termed as "coordination driven self-assembly". 31P NMR, 1H NMR, HR-MS, and theoretical calculation were employed to characterize the resultant MTA fully. Furthermore, the fabricated nanocomposite through coassembly of MTA and an amphiphilic polypeptide (PEG-PPT) could generate singlet oxygen (1O2) under the NIR irradiation and release a Pt drug under a low-pH microenvironment. 1O2 and the Pt drug can both damage the cancer cells, which improves the efficiency of cancer therapies. The fabrication of a Pt-porphyrin metallatriangle expands the topological structures, and the Pt-porphyrin metallatriangle can be applied to the combined cancer therapies. Moreover, various stimuli-responsive groups can be modified to the triangle, so a new method is created to develop high-performance biosupramolecular materials.

Abstract
The structures of two-dimensional (2D) self-assembled molecular networks formed by a series of perylene bisimide (PBI) derivatives were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). By introducing different functional groups to the PBI rings, we successfully built a different self-assembled molecular network on the liquid-solid interface. When the substituent is propanol, PBI is aligned in lines. When we introduced either an ester group or an amide group to the PBI compounds, they tended to form dimers and trimers. Especially, the PBI with the amide groups can form a 2D porous molecular network by hierarchy self-assembly. The 2D porous molecular network has a great potential to be the host molecule for the accommodation of a guest molecule, coronene (COR), and the structure of the 2D porous molecular network can be tuned by varying the concentration. The density functional theory calculations were also performed to disclose the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
A two-component charge transfer (CT) hydrogel has been derived from a supramolecular heteroassembly of a pyrene amino acid conjugate (PyHisOH, donor) with a 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Ox, acceptor) derivative in aqueous medium. The mechanical stiffness, as well as the thermal stability of the CT hydrogels largely depend on the relative ratios of donor and acceptor units as well as on their overall concentration. Moreover, the gel-to-sol transition is found to be susceptible to various external stimuli such as heat, pH, metal ions, etc. Circular dichroism and morphological investigation reveal the formation of left-handed helical fibers in the CT gel network. XRD studies show the lamellar packing of the interactive units in the 3D network of the CT hydrogel. The determination of different rheological parameters confirms the viscoelastic as well as the thixotropic nature of the CT gel. Furthermore, the CT gel is employed for turn-on sensing of biogenic thiols, cyan fluorescence was observed with cysteine/homocysteine, while blue fluorescence with glutathione. Nucleophilic attack at the NBD moiety leads to the formation of thermodynamically stable amino-linked derivatives for cysteine or homocysteine and kinetically controlled thiol-linked adduct for glutathione. Thus, the current system presents a unique opportunity, where a CT hydrogel sample is involved for discriminating biogenic thiols via specific chemodosimetric interactions.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy with nanocarriers is a promising strategy for effective cancer treatment. Here, we synthesized an amphiphilic rhomboidal metallacycle M, in which a glucose-modified pyridine ligand was used to improve water-solubility and an organoplatinum(II) receptor acted as a platinum-based anticancer agent. Moreover, because of the amphiphilic properties, M self-assembled into micelles or nanobelts at different concentrations, and a drug delivery system (DDS) was developed by encapsulating the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) into the micelles. The morphology, cell uptake, cytotoxicity, internalization, and antitumor effect of the DDS were investigated. Under low intracellular pH conditions, the DDS disassembled to release the loaded DOX in situ. The designed DDS exhibited good biocompatibility, synergistic antitumor efficacy, and negligible adverse effects in a U87 tumor-bearing mice model.

Abstract
Using dynamic polymers to achieve the morphology transformation of polymeric assemblies under different conditions is challenging. Herein, we reported diversiform shape transformation of multi-responsive polymer filaments, which were self-assembled by a new kind of amphiphilic block copolymer (PVEG-PVEA) possessing dynamic and reversible acylhydrazone bonds through reacting benzaldehyde-containing block copolymers poly(vinylbenzaldehyde)-b-poly(N-(4-vinylbenzyl)-N,N-diethylamine) (PVBA-PVEA) with acylhydrazine-modified oligoethylene glycol. It was found that the resulting amphiphilic and dynamic PVEG-PVEA was capable of hierarchically self-assembling into intriguing core-branched filaments in aqueous solution. Notably, the features of acylhydrazone bonds and PVEA block endow the filaments with multi-responsiveness including acid, base, and temperature, leading to the multiple morphological transformations under such stimuli. Moreover, the core-branched filaments would further transform into polymeric braided bundles driven by hydrogen-bonding interactions of amide bonds. It is noteworthy that both core-branched filaments and braided bundles made from polymers are quite rare. These diversiform polymeric assemblies and their morphological evolution were characterized by TEM, Cryo-TEM, SEM, and DLS. Finally, we used PVBA-PVEA as a platform to facilely prepare functional polymers, such as glycopolymers via the reaction of amino-containing sugars and aldehyde groups. The obtained glycopolymers self-assembled into glycofibers for the biomimicry of glycans via binding with lectins. These findings not only are conducive to understanding of the stimulated shape change process of dynamic polymeric assemblies in water but also provide a new method for the facile fabrication of smart and functional polymeric assemblies for different potential applications, such as biomimicry and targeted drug nanocarriers or delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Inspired by the vast array of assemblies present in nature, supramolecular chemistry has attracted significant attention on account of its diverse supra-structures, which include micelles, vesicles, and fibers, in addition to its extensive applications in luminescent materials, sensors, bioimaging, and drug delivery over the past decades. Supramolecular polymers, which represent a combination of supramolecular chemistry and polymer science, are constructed by non-covalent interactions, such as host-guest interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic or hydrophilic interactions, metal-ligand interactions, π-π stacking, and electrostatic interactions. To date, numerous host-guest recognition systems have been reported, including crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbituril, pillararenes, and other macrocyclic hosts. Among them, crown ethers, as the first generation of macrocyclic hosts, provide a promising and facile alternative route to supramolecular polymers. In addition, the incorporation of fluorophores into supramolecular polymers could endow them with multiple properties and functions, thereby presenting potential advantages in the context of smart materials. Thus, this review focuses on the fabrication strategies, interesting properties, and potential applications of fluorescent supramolecular polymers based on crown ethers. Typical examples are presented and discussed in terms of three different types of building blocks, namely covalently bonded low-molecular-weight compounds, polymers modified by hosts or guests, and supramolecular coordination complexes.

Abstract
To explore the potential of step-by-step assembly in the fabrication of biological materials, we designed and synthesized two peptide-based molecules for enzyme-instructed hierarchical assembly. Upon the treatment of alkaline phosphatase, one molecule undergoes enzyme-instructed self-assembly forming uniformed nanofibers. The other one that can self-assemble into vesicles undergoes enzyme-induced transformation of self-assembly converting vesicles into irregular aggregates upon the treatment of carboxylesterase. Coadministration of two enzymes to a mixture of these two molecules in a stage-by-stage fashion leads to a physically knotted nanofibrous scaffold that is applicable as a nanostructured matrix for cell culture.

Abstract
The introduction of non-covalent bonds is effective for achieving self-healing properties because they can be controlled reversibly. One approach to introduce these bonds into supramolecular materials is use of host-guest interactions. This feature article summarizes the development of supramolecular materials constructed by non-covalent cross-linking through several approaches, such as host-guest interactions between host polymers and guest polymers, 1 : 2-type host-guest interactions, and host-guest interactions from the polymerization of host-guest inclusion complexes. Host-guest interactions show self-healing functions while also enabling stimuli-responsiveness (redox, pH, and temperature). The self-healing function of supramolecular materials is achieved by stress dispersion arising from host-guest interactions when stress is applied. Reversible bonds based on host-guest interactions have tremendous potential to expand the variety of functional materials.

Abstract
Herein we designed and synthesized mPEG/PDPA copolymers containing two 4-([2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin]-4′-yl) phenyl (Tpyp) groups at the junction point of the two blocks (mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx, x = 23, 33, and 44). Interestingly, after a hierarchical pattern from the coordination of mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx with Ru(ii) ions followed by the self-assembly in water, 2D strip nanosheets with a monomolecular layer were obtained. In contrast, mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx without coordination self-assembled into spherical micelles in the similar condition. The formation of the rigid and charged ⋯Tpyp-Ru(ii)⋯ chain, the brush-shaped polymer architecture and the presence of the hexafluorophosphate (PF6−) counterions should be responsible for the unique self-assembly behavior of the metallo-supramolecular complexes. It is expected that the hierarchical self-assembly pattern can provide a new strategy for preparation of self-assemblies with different morphologies. Copolymers mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx were synthesized. After a hierarchical pattern from the coordination of the copolymers with Ru(ii) ions followed by the self-assembly in water, 2D strip nanosheets were obtained.![]()

Abstract
A novel macrocyclic amphiphile based on hybrid[4]arene containing tri(ethylene glycol) chains as the hydrophilic part and benzene rings as the hydrophobic part was synthesized. It self-assembled to produce nanoparticles and showed lower critical solution temperature behavior that was affected by its concentration and K+. Moreover, amphiphilic H can encapsulate dye G to form host-guest complexes H⊃G, accompanied by significant fluorescence enhancement. H⊃G can further self-assemble to form fluorescent nanoparticles that can be applied in cell imaging.

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
Design of metal-selective hydrogels is attractive due to potential applications in materials and biological sciences. Although much progress has been made, assembly of both l- and d-amino acid derivatives was less explored for design of metallohydrogels. In this study, we synthesized a facile and small tryptophan derivative containing an imidazole ligand with both l- and d- configurations (denoted as l/d-ImW). Intriguingly, the assembly of (l+d)-ImW gelators was found to selectively form a Ni2+-hydrogel in aqueous medium at room temperature, which shows a rare purple color and exhibits excellent multi-responsiveness. In addition to insights into the gelation mechanism, this study provides a novel approach to the design of metallohydrogels, by the assembly of (l+d)-amino acid derivatives containing both aromatic rings and multiple metal coordination sites.

Abstract
Designing muscle-inspired hydrogels that possess structure and bioactivity similar to muscles is an eternal pursuit in material sciences and tissue engineering. However, the development of a muscle-inspired hydrogel via the formation of noncovalent interactions remains challenging, and its application in sustained loading situations such as cyclic stresses is limited. Herein, H-bonds and microcrystalline domains were introduced, and a noncovalent muscle-inspired hydrogel was developed to mimic both the physical structure and functionality of muscles at the macroscopic level. The hydrogel exhibited excellent mechanical properties (a fracture strength of 2.16 ± 0.08 MPa, fracture strain of 830 ± 23%, elastic modulus of 275 ± 9 KPa, and toughness of 7.04 ± 0.80 MJ/m3), a large energy dissipation (2.00 ± 0.27 MJ/m3 at 600% elongation), and a rapid self-recovery (92 ± 1% toughness recovery within 20 min). Antifatigue behavior of the muscle-inspired hydrogel was observed upon successive tensile and compressive cyclic loadings. Under 100 cycles of loadings, the robustness of the hydrogel has been maintained and even improved, which are achieved due to strain-induced orientation. Furthermore, the hydrogel was found to be self-healed. This hydrogel promises to be among the most relevant drivers for the development of new-generation muscle-inspired hydrogels in the next decade.

Abstract
Soft materials have received considerable attention from supramolecular chemists and material scientists alike. This interest reflects the advantages provided by their soft, flexible nature and the convenience of the molecular self-assembly that underlies their preparation. Common soft supramolecular materials include polymeric gels, supramolecular polymers, nanoaggregates, and membranes. Polymeric gels are solidlike networks of cross-linked polymer chains. Supramolecular polymers contain repeat units connected through reversible non-covalent bonds. Nanoaggregates are formed as a result of hydrophobic interactions involving amphiphilic building blocks. Because of the presence of non-covalent interactions, supramolecular soft materials typically display stimuli-responsive or adaptive features. Various macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, crown ethers, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, and many classic non-covalent interactions have been harnessed to construct supramolecular soft materials. Only recently has anion binding been used as the underlying recognition motif. Anions are ubiquitous in the natural world. Their importance has inspired efforts to achieve good anion binding and to exploit anion recognition in a number of fields, including extraction, transport, sensing, and catalysis. Most of this effort has involved the use of stand-alone anion receptors. On the other hand, soft materials with anion recognition features could lead to new macromolecular systems of interest in the context of many application areas. In this Account, we summarize the latest efforts from our laboratory to prepare supramolecular soft materials, including polymeric gels, supramolecular polymers, and nanoaggregates, with bona fide anion recognition features. Two anion receptor systems, namely, calix[4]pyrroles (C4Ps) and a tetraimidazolium macrocycle known as the "Texas-sized" molecular box (TxSB), have been used for this purpose. To date, TxSB-based hydrogels have been utilized to capture anions from water and for coded information applications; C4P-based organic polymeric gels have been used to extract dianions from aqueous source phases and for the on-site detection of chloride anions. Polymers containing C4P and TxSB anion recognition subunits typically display responsive features and can be modified through application of appropriately chosen external stimuli. For instance, nanoaggregates may be formed as a result of the hydrophobic interactions of C4P- and TxSB-based amphiphiles. The resulting aggregates were found to mimic the structural evolution of organelles and could be used as effective anion and ion pair extractants. This Account summarizes progress to date while underscoring potential opportunities associated with combining anion recognition and soft materials chemistry. The hope is to stimulate further advances in broad areas, including polymer science, supramolecular chemistry, biology, materials research, and information storage.

Abstract
A double metallacycle was prepared via the size-selective integrative self-sorting of four different building blocks driven by a reversible metal-ligand coordination interaction. A hydrophobic dendron was placed on a metallacycle and a hydrophilic dendron was attached to the other metallacycle, producing a two-faced Janus-type supramolecule with two distinct functionalities. In aqueous media, hierarchical self-assembly of the supramolecular system was induced by the combination of coordination interactions and hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions resulting in the formation of micrometer-sized fiber-like structures, a morphology distinct from metallacycles bearing only one type of functionality. This study provides a versatile approach for the construction of Janus-type molecules and demonstrates that integrative self-sorting of a supramolecular coordination system can be utilized for the preparation of complex supramolecular systems with predesigned functionalities and morphologies.

Abstract
Control of self-assembly is significant to the preparation of supramolecular materials and illustration of diversities in either natural or artificial systems. Supra-amphiphiles have remarkable advantages in the construction of nanostructures but control of shape and size of supramolecular nanostructures is still a great challenge. Here, we fabricate a series of supra-amphiphiles by utilizing the recognition motifs based on a heteroditopic porphyrin amphiphile and its zinc complex. These porphyrin amphiphiles can bind with a few guests including Cl-, coronene, C60, 4,4'-bipyridine and 2,4,6-tri(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine, which are further applied to facilitate the controllable self-assembly. Addition of these guests result in the formation of various supra-amphiphiles with well-defined structures, thus induce the generation of different aggregates. A diverse of aggregation morphologies including nanospheres, nanorods, films, spheric micelles, vesicles and macrowires are constructed upon the influence of specific complexation, which highlights the present work with abundant control on the shapes and dimensions of self-assemblies.

Abstract
Constructing artificial helical structures through hierarchical self-assembly and exploring the underlying mechanism are important, and they help gain insight from the structures, processes, and functions from the biological helices and facilitate the development of material science and nanotechnology. Herein, the two enantiomers of chiral Au(I) complexes ( S)-1 and ( R)-1 were synthesized, and they exhibited impressive spontaneous hierarchical self-assembly transitions from vesicles to helical fibers. An impressive chirality inversion and amplification was accompanied by the assembly transition, as elucidated by the results of in situ and time-dependent circular dichroism spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope imaging. The two enantiomers could serve as ideal chiral templates to co-assemble with other achiral luminogens to efficiently induce the resulting co-assembly systems to show circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Our work has provided a simple but efficient way to explore the sophisticated self-assembly process and presented a facile and effective strategy to fabricate architectures with CPL properties.

Abstract
Inspired by assemblies in the natural world, researchers have prepared diverse suprastructures with distinct spatial arrangements by artificial self-assembly, including micelles, vesicles, ribbons, films, fibers, and tubes. The field of assembly is undergoing a transition from single-component to multicomponent assembly and single-step to multistep processing. Control over the size, shape, and composition of these building blocks has enabled the formation of suprastructures with substantial structural diversity. More importantly, harnessing noncovalent interactions to create suprastructures in a controlled manner will lead to a better understanding of the formation of complex self-organized patterns. However, for the construction of multiscale self-assemblies with controllable shapes and functions, the selection of a suitable protocol remains challenging. Coordination-driven self-assembly provides a bottom-up approach to construct various metal-organic complexes (MOCs), which could be further used as building blocks with controllable shapes and sizes. Despite the tremendous progress made in the design of MOC-based supramolecular materials, most of these MOCs have dimensions of only several nanometers, and investigations of these structures rely on the characterization of their crystal structure. However, most of the functional suprastructures in living organisms have dimensions ranging from microns to centimeters and have the form of soft materials. Thus, obtaining MOC-based highly ordered materials of larger size remains a challenge. This Account focuses on our recent advances in the construction of soft suprastructure materials with MOCs. A series of functionalized MOCs was first constructed through coordination-driven self-assembly. Then, further self-assembly of the as-prepared MOCs gave rise to the formation of higher-order structures. By changing the functional groups in the acceptors and donors in the MOCs, different suprastructures, including nanospheres, nanodiamonds, nanorods, nanofibers, membranes, films, and gels, were prepared. These studies suggest that using MOCs as building blocks is a highly efficient strategy to achieve complex architectures and functional materials for the development of desired MOC-based soft materials with high precision and fidelity.
