Abstract
Blue luminogens play a vital role in white lighting and potential metal-free fluorescent materials and their high-lying excited states contribute to harvesting triplet excitons in devices. However, in TADF-OLEDs (ΔEST < 0.1 eV), although T1 excitons transfer to S1via RISC with 100% IQE, the longer lifetime of blue TADF suffers from efficiency roll-off (RO). In this case, hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) materials have attracted significant interest in lighting owing to their 100% hot exciton harvesting and enhanced efficiency. Both academics and industrialists widely use the HLCT strategy to improve the efficiency of fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs) by harvesting dark triplet excitons through the RISC process. Aggregation-induced emissive materials (AIEgens) possess tight packing in the aggregation state, and twisted AIEgens with HLCT behaviour have a shortened conjugation length, inducing blue emission and making them suitable candidates for OLED applications. TTA-OLEDs are used in commercial BOLEDs because of their moderate efficiency and reasonable operation lifetime. In this review, we discuss the devices based on TTA fluorophores, TADF fluorophores, HLCT fluorophores, AIEgens and HLCT-sensitized fluorophores (HLCT-SF), which break through the statistical limitations.

Abstract
Supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) are predictable and size-tunable supramolecular self-assemblies constructed through directional coordination bonds between readily available organic ligands and metallic receptors. Based on planar and 3D structures, SCCs can be mainly divided into two categories: metallacycles (e.g., rhomboidal, triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal) and metallacages (e.g., tetrahedral, hexahedral, and dodecahedral). The directional coordination bonds enable the efficient formation of metallacycles and metallacages with well-defined architectures and geometries. SCCs exhibit several advantages, including good directionality, strong interaction force, tunable modularity, and good solution processability, making them highly attractive for biomedical applications, especially in cellular imaging and cancer therapy. Compared with their molecular precursors, SCCs demonstrate enhanced cellular uptake and a strengthened tumor accumulation effect, owing to their inherently charged structures. These properties and the chemotherapeutic potential inherent to organic platinum complexes have promoted their widespread application in antitumor therapy. Furthermore, the defined structures of SCCs, achieved via the design modification of assembly elements and introduction of different functional groups, enable them to combat malignant tumors through multipronged treatment modalities. Because the development of cancer-treatment methodologies integrated in clinics has evolved from single-modality chemotherapy to synergistic multimodal therapy, the development of functional SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy is crucial. While some pioneering reviews have explored the bioapplications of SCCs, often categorized by a specific function or focusing on the specific metal or ligand types, a comprehensive exploration of their synergistic multifunctionality is a critical gap in the current literature.In this Account, we focus on platinum-based SCCs and their applications in cancer therapy. While other metals, such as Pd-, Rh-, Ru-, and Ir-based SCCs, have been explored for cancer therapy by Therrien and Casini et al., platinum-based SCCs have garnered significant interest, owing to their unique advantages in antitumor therapy. These platinum-based SCCs, which enhance antitumor efficacy, are considered prominent candidates for cancer therapies owing to their desirable properties, such as potent antitumor activity, exceptionally low systemic toxicity, active tumor-targeting ability, and enhanced cellular uptake. Furthermore, diverse diagnostic and therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy) can be integrated into a single platform based on platinum-based SCCs for cancer therapy. Consequently, herein, we summarize our recent research on platinum-based SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy with particular emphasis on the cooperative interplay between different therapeutic methods. In the Conclusions section, we present the key advancements achieved on the basis of our research findings and propose future directions that may significantly impact the field.

Abstract
The global surge in bacterial infections, compounded by the alarming escalation of drug-resistant strains, has evolved into a critical public health crisis. Among the challenges posed, biofilms stand out due to their formidable resistance to conventional antibiotics. This review delves into the burgeoning potential of pillar[n]arenes, distinctive macrocyclic host molecules, as promising anti-biofilm agents. The review is structured into two main sections, each dedicated to exploring distinct facets of pillar[n]arene applications. The first section scrutinizes functionalized pillar[n]arenes with a particular emphasis on cationic derivatives. This analysis reveals their significant efficacy in inhibiting biofilm formation, underscoring the pivotal role of specific chemical attributes in combating microbial communities. The second section of the review shifts its focus to inclusion complexes, elucidating how pillar[n]arenes serve as encapsulation platforms for antibiotics. This encapsulation enhances the stability of antibiotics and enables a controlled release, thereby amplifying their antibacterial activity. The examination of inclusion complexes provides valuable insights into the potential synergy between pillar[n]arenes and traditional antibiotics, offering a novel avenue for overcoming biofilm resistance. This comprehensive review highlights the escalating global threat of bacterial infections and the urgent need for innovative strategies to counteract drug-resistant biofilms. The unique properties of pillar[n]arenes, both as functionalized molecules and as inclusion complex hosts, position them as promising candidates in the quest for effective anti-biofilm agents. The exploration of their distinct mechanisms opens new avenues for research and development in the ongoing battle against bacterial infections and biofilm-related health challenges.

Abstract
The field of fluorescence sensing, leveraging various supramolecular self-assembled architectures constructed from macrocyclic pillar[n]arenes, has seen significant advancement in recent decades. This review comprehensively discusses, for the first time, the recent innovations in the synthesis and self-assembly of pillar[n]arene-based supramolecular architectures (PSAs) containing metal coordination sites, along with their practical applications and prospects in fluorescence sensing. Integrating hydrophobic and electron-rich cavities of pillar[n]arenes into these supramolecular structures endows the entire system with self-assembly behavior and stimulus responsiveness. Employing the host-guest interaction strategy and complementary coordination forces, PSAs exhibiting both intelligent and controllable properties are successfully constructed. This provides a broad horizon for advancing fluorescence sensors capable of detecting environmental pollutants. This review aims to establish a solid foundation for the future development of fluorescence sensing applications utilizing PSAs. Additionally, current challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Considerable progress in the construction of efficient fluorescence-resonance energy transfer (FRET) systems has promoted the development of artificial energy transfer materials. However, despite recent advances, the exploration of efficient and easy strategies to fabricate novel supramolecular systems with FRET activities is still a challenge. Here, we report that a two-step FRET system was successfully achieved, driven by platinum metallacycle based host-guest interactions. The two-step FRET system is used for the preparation of a white-light-emitting diode and serves as a nanoreactor for the photosynthetic process. This work offers a strategy for the fabrication of FRET systems and opens opportunities for functional materials constructed by platinum(II) metallacycle based host-guest interactions.

Abstract
Accurately evaluating tumor responses to immunotherapy is clinically relevant. However, non-invasive, real-time visualization techniques to evaluate tumor immunotherapy are still lacking. Herein, a smart responsive fluorescence-MR dual-modal nanoprobe, QM(GP)-MZF(CP), is reported that can be targeted for cleavage by the cytotoxic T cell activation marker granzyme B and the apoptosis-related marker cysteine-aspartic acid-specific protease 3 (Caspase-3). The probe uses quinoline-malononitrile (QM), an aggregation-induced emission luminogen, and Mn-Zn ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (MZF-MNPs), a T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) contrast agent, as imaging molecules that are linked with the substrate peptides specific to granzyme B and Caspase-3. Therefore, both granzyme B and Caspase-3 can target and cleave the substrate peptides in QM(GP)-MZF(CP). Via aggregation-induced fluorescence imaging of QM and the aggregation-induced T2WI-enhanced imaging effect of MZF-MNPs, the status of T cells after tumor immunotherapy and the subsequent triggering of tumor cell apoptosis can be determined to identify tumor responsiveness to immunotherapy and thereby evaluate the effectiveness of this therapy in the early stages of treatment.

Abstract
Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to their distribution, therapeutic action, visual tracking, and efficacy evaluation. Nowadays, the near-infrared window (NIR, 650-1700 nm) provides a more accurate imaging and treatment option. Thus, there has been ongoing research focusing on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. The design, characteristics, bioimaging, and therapy of NIR metal agents are covered in this overview of papers and reports published to date. To start with, we focus on describing the structure, design strategies, and photophysical properties of metal agents from the NIR-I (650-1000 nm) to NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, in order of molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Next, the biomedical applications brought by these superior photophysical and chemical properties for more accurate imaging and therapy are discussed. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects of each type of NIR metal agent for future biomedical research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Identifying nitroreductase (NTR) with fluorescent techniques has become a research hotspot, due to its good sensitivity and selectivity toward the early-stage cancer diagnosis and monitoring. Herein, a host-guest reporter (NAQA⊂Zn-MPPB) is successfully achieved by encapsulating the NTR probe NAQA into a new NADH-functioned metal-organic cage Zn-MPPB, which makes the reporter for ultrafast detection of NTR within dozens of seconds in solution. The host-guest strategy fuses the Zn-MPPB and NAQA to form a pseudomolecule material, which changes the reaction process of NTR and NAQA from a double substrates mechanism to a single substrate one, and accelerates the reduction efficiency of NAQA. This advantage make the new host-guest reporter exhibit a linear relationship between emission changes and NTR concentration, and it shows better sensitively toward NTR than that of NAQA. Additionally, the positively charged water-soluble metal-organic cage can encapsulate NAQA in the cavity, promote it to dissolve in an aqueous environment, and facilitate their accumulation into tumor cells. As expected, such host-guest reporter displays a fast and high efficiently imaging capability toward NTR in tumor cells and tumor-bearing mice, and flow cytometry assay is conducted to corroborate the capability as well, implying the considerably potential of host-guest strategy for early tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) find multiple applications ranging from fabric dyes to optoelectronic materials. Hydrogenation of PAHs is often employed for their purification or derivatization. However, separation of PAHs from their hydrogenated analogues is challenging because of their similar physical properties. An example of such is the separation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene from phenanthrene/anthracene which requires fractional distillation at high temperature (∼340 °C) to obtain pure anthracene/phenanthrene in coal industry. Herein we demonstrate a new approach for this separation at room temperature using a water-soluble interlocked cage (1) as extracting agent by host-guest chemistry. The cage was obtained by self-assembly of a triimidazole donor L·HNO3 with cis-[(tmeda)Pd(NO3)2] (M) [tmeda = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine]. 1 has a triply interlocked structure with an inner cavity capable of selectively binding planar aromatic guests.

Abstract
Over the past few years, conjugated polymers (CPs) have aroused much attention owing to their rigid conjugated structures, which can perform well in light harvesting and energy transfer and offer great potential in materials chemistry. In this article, we fabricate a new luminescent linear CP p(P[5](OTf)2-co-9,10-dea) via the Sonogashira coupling of 9,10-diethynylanthracene and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (OTf) modified pillar[5]arene, generating enhanced yellow-green fluorescence emission at around 552 nm. The reaction condition was screened to get a deeper understanding of this polymerization approach, resulting in an excellent yield as high as 92% ultimately. Besides the optical properties, self-assembly behaviors of the CP in low/high concentrations were studied, where interesting adjustable morphologies from tube to sheet were observed. In addition, the fluorescence performance and structural architecture can be disturbed by the host–guest reorganization between the host CP and the guest adiponitrile, suggesting great potential of this CP material in the field of sensing and detection.

Abstract
Pillar[n]arenes are pillar-shaped macrocyclic compounds owing to the methylene bridges linking the para-positions of the units. Owing to their unique pillar-shaped structures, these compounds exhibit various excellent properties compared with other cyclic host molecules, such as versatile functionality using various organic synthesis techniques, substituent-dependent solubility, cavity-size-dependent host-guest properties in organic media, and unit rotation along with planar chiral inversion. These advantages have enabled the high-yield synthesis and rational design of pillar[n]arene-based mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). In particular, new types of pillar[n]arene-based MIMs that can dynamically convert between interlocked and unlocked states through unit rotation have been produced. The highly symmetrical pillar-shaped structures of pillar[n]arenes result in simple NMR spectra, which are useful for studying the motion of pillar[n]arene wheels in MIMs and creating sophisticated MIMs with higher-order structures. The creation and application of polymeric MIMs based on pillar[n]arenes is also discussed.

Abstract
Different from polymers or peptides (lacking metals), metal–organic cycles (MOCs) have properties which arise from the combination of metals and common nonmetal elements and topologies. The development of MOC supramolecular materials is in its infancy, and how the coordination bonds work to make the corresponding suprastructures is unknown. This has limited the potential application of these MOC-based materials. Considering the applications of individual MOCs, the study and discovery of the unique factors in MOC-involved multilevel self-assembly are critical to further our knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanisms of metal-containing compounds. Here, a systematic study of MOC assembly in various solvent systems has confirmed the critical role of coordination linkers in tuning the shape and size of the MOC-derived suprastructures. It is well known that chemical compositions and structural arrangements of materials have a great influence on their resultant properties. Diverse functional materials have been constructed by using either biomolecules (peptides, DNA, and RNA) in nature or artificially synthesized molecules (polymers and pillararenes). The relationships between traditional building blocks (such as peptides) have been widely investigated, for example how hydrogen bonds work in the peptide multistage assembly process. However, in contrast to traditional covalent bond-based building blocks-based assembly, suprastructures formed by noncovalent bonds are more influenced by specific bond features, but to date only a few results have been reported based on noncovalent bond-based building block multistage assembly. Here, three metal–organic cycles (MOCs) were used to show how coordination bonds influence the bimetallacycle conformation then lead to the topology differences of MOC multilevel ordered materials. It was found that the coordination linker (isophthalate-Pt-pyridine) is an important factor to tune the shape and size of the MOC-derived suprastructures.

Abstract
Stable organic radicals with unique luminescence show great importance in photoelectromagnetic materials. We herein report two unusual radical-based systems (P5N-TTM and P5B-TTM) using the concerted effects of planar chiral pillar[5]arenes and tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radicals. The steric effect and electronic doublet-spin character of these radicals allowed the optical resolution and the first red emissions (∼650 nm) for pillar[5]arene derivatives. Notably, cross-coupling with macrocyclic pillar[5]arene, in turn, considerably enhanced the configurational stability of TTM radicals.

Abstract
Nowadays, aggregation quenching of most organic photosensitizers in aqueous media seriously restricts analytical and biomedical applications of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors. In this work, an aggregation-enhanced PEC photosensitizer was prepared by electrostatically bonding protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) with an ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF4]), termed as PPIX-[BMIm] for clarity. The resultant PPIX-[BMIm] showed weak photocurrent in pure dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, good solvent), while the PEC signals displayed a 44.1-fold enhancement in a water (poor solvent)/DMSO binary solvent with a water fraction (fw) of 90%. Such PEC-enhanced mechanism was critically studied by electrochemistry and density functional theory (DFT) calculation in some detail. Afterward, a label-free PEC cytosensor was built for ultrasensitive bioassay of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (molt-4) cells by electrodepositing Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the PPIX-[BMIm] aggregates and sequential assembly of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) aptamer DNA (aptDNA). The resultant cytosensor showed a wide linear range (300 to 3 × 105 cells mL-1) with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 63 cells mL-1. The aggregation-enhanced PEC performance offers a valuable and practical pathway for synthesis of advanced organic photosensitizer to explore its PEC applications in early diagnosis of tumors.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the greatest threats to public health. In vivo real-time monitoring and effective treatment of infected sites through non-invasive techniques, remain a challenge. Herein, we designed a PtII metallacycle-based supramolecular photosensitizer through the host-guest interaction between a pillar[5]arene-modified metallacycle and 1-butyl-4-[4-(diphenylamino)styryl]pyridinium. Leveraging the aggregation-induced emission supramolecular photosensitizer, we improved fluorescence performance and antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation. In vivo studies revealed that it displayed precise fluorescence tracking of S. aureus-infected sites, and in situ performed image-guided efficient PDI of S. aureus without noticeable side effects. These results demonstrated that metallacycle combined with host-guest chemistry could provide a paradigm for the development of powerful photosensitizers for biomedicine.

Abstract
The self-assembly of palladium-based cages is frequently rationalized via the cumulative enthalpy (ΔH) of bonds between coordination nodes (M, i.e., Pd) and ligand (L) components. This focus on enthalpic rationale limits the complete understanding of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for self-assembly, as entropic (ΔS) contributions are overlooked. Here, we present a study of the M2linL3 intermediate species (M = dinitrato(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine)palladium(ii), linL = 4,4′-bipyridine), formed during the synthesis of triangle-shaped (M3linL3) and square-shaped (M4linL4) coordination macrocycles. Thermochemical analyses by variable temperature (VT) 1H-NMR revealed that the M2linL3 intermediate exhibited an unfavorable (relative) ΔS compared to M3linL3 (triangle, ΔTΔS = +5.22 kcal mol−1) or M4linL4 (square, ΔTΔS = +2.37 kcal mol−1) macrocycles. Further analysis of these constructs with molecular dynamics (MD) identified that the self-assembly process is driven by ΔG losses facilitated by increases in solvation entropy (ΔSsolv, i.e., depletion of solvent accessible surface area) that drives the self-assembly from “open” intermediates toward “closed” macrocyclic products. Expansion of our computational approach to the analysis of self-assembly in PdnbenL2n cages (benL = 4,4'-(5-ethoxy-1,3-phenylene)dipyridine), demonstrated that ΔSsolv contributions drive the self-assembly of both thermodynamic cage products (i.e., Pd12benL24) and kinetically-trapped intermediates (i.e., Pd8cL16). These studies demonstrate that ΔS drives the self-assembly of supramolecular palladium-based coordination macrocycles and cages. As this ΔS contribution arises from solvation, these findings broadly reflect the thermodynamic drive of self-assembly to form compact structures.![]()

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most devastating malignant tumors. However, fluorescence probes for early clinical diagnosis of PC often encounter difficulties in accuracy and penetrability. In this work, an enzyme-activated aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) probe, QM-HSP-CPP, for high-contrast fluorescence diagnosis of PC is developed by monitoring specific overexpressed enzyme Cathepsin E (CTSE). The probe is composed of an AIE fluorophore QM-COOH (QM = quinoline-malononitrile), CTSE-triggered hydrophobic peptide (HSP), and hydrophilic biocompatible cell penetrating peptide (CPP). The CPP unit can well-modulate the molecular dispersion properties, giving initial fluorescence-off state in the aqueous biosystem, thus endowing high signal-to-noise ratio, and finally overcoming the poor targeting selectivity of traditional AIE probes. CPP can ensure cell/tissue penetrating ability, thus allowing on-site monitoring of endogenous CTSE in PC cells, tissues, and living animal models. When the QM-HSP-CPP probe is specifically cleaved by CTSE, it can generate AIE signals in situ with high-specificity and long-term tracking ability, and successfully achieve intraoperative diagnosis of human PC sections, tracking PC in heterotopic nude mice models. The CTSE-enzyme-triggered AIEgens' liberation strategy improves accuracy and addresses the penetration problem simultaneously, which can expand the database of multitudinous biocompatible AIE-active probes, especially for establishing intraoperative pathological fluorescent diagnosis.

Benefiting from its rigid structure, facile synthesis, ease of functionalization, and outstanding host-guest chemistry, pillar[n]arene shows great potential for diverse applications. Significantly, the host-guest recognition of pillar[n]arene provides a novel approach for chemosensing and imaging. Herein, this Review critically and comprehensively reviews the applications of pillar[n]arene-based host-guest recognition in chemosensing and imaging. The sensing and imaging mechanisms as well as the unique roles and advantages of pillar[n]arene-based host-guest recognition are summarized. In addition, preparations of hybrid materials based on pillar[n]arene and inorganic materials are also introduced comprehensively in the light of chemosensing and imaging. Finally, current challenges and perspectives on pillar[n]arene-based host-guest recognition in chemosensing and imaging are outlined.

Abstract
Pillar[5]arenes containing sulfonate fragments have been shown to form supramolecular complexes with therapeutic proteins to facilitate targeted transport with an increased duration of action and enhanced bioavailability. Regioselective synthesis was used to obtain a water-soluble pillar[5]arene containing the fluorescent label FITC and nine sulfoethoxy fragments. The pillar[5]arene formed complexes with the therapeutic proteins binase, bleomycin, and lysozyme in a 1:2 ratio as demonstrated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The formation of stable spherical nanosized macrocycle/binase complexes with an average particle size of 200 nm was established by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Flow cytometry demonstrated the ability of macrocycle/binase complexes to penetrate into tumor cells where they exhibited significant cytotoxicity towards A549 cells at 10-5-10-6 M while maintaining the enzymatic activity of binase.

Abstract
Covalently bridged pillararene-based oligomers (CBPOs) are formed by covalent bonding of pillararene monomers, and they play a critical role in expanding the multi-disciplinary application of pillararenes due to their excellent molecular complexing ability, specially designed geometry and multifunctional linking groups. This article provides a comprehensive review of the synthesis and applications of CBPOs. The design and synthetic strategies of a series of CBPOs (dimers, trimers, tetramers and others) are first introduced. Many CBPOs with multi-cavities and unique geometry are very attractive and efficient building blocks for constructing novel smart supramolecular polymers (SPs) with different topological structures through host-guest interactions. We describe the methods of constructing various SPs based on CBPOs in detail. Furthermore, the extensive applications of CBPOs and CBPO-based SPs in recognition and detection of ions and organic small molecules, selective adsorption and separation, artificial light-harvesting systems, catalysis, drug delivery systems, and others are systematically introduced. Finally, the future challenges and perspectives for CBPOs are also highlighted.

Abstract
Bioinspired artificial nanochannels for molecular and ionic transport have extensive applications. However, it is still a huge challenge to achieve an intelligent transport system with high selectivity/efficiency and controllability. Inspired by glutathione transport across the plasma membrane via redox regulation, we herein designed and fabricated a redox-reactive artificial nanochannel based on the host-guest chemical strategy. The nanochannel platform achieved high selectivity/efficiency for the identification and transmission of glutathione in the confined space. In addition, this nanochannel can switch between the ON and OFF states through the redox reaction. This redox-regulated system can provide a potential application for detection/binding of biological analytes and redox-controlled drug release.

Abstract
We first describe two examples of highly luminescent organoboranes (NP5BN1 and NP5BN2) with dual chirality that were achieved by molecular functionalization of planar chiral pillar[5]arenes with naphthyls. Sufficiently strong steric effects are imposed by triarylamine (Ar3N) and triarylborane (Ar3B) moieties and further enhanced by the proximity of the chiral building blocks, leading to the isolation of multiple enantiomers via chiral high-performance liquid chromatography. The intramolecular charge transfer from N-donor to B-acceptor across both chiral subunits enabled the circularly polarized luminescence and thermally robust colorimetric responses in their emissions. Furthermore, their remarkable host-guest chemistry was allowed at no expense in the pursuit of advanced chiroptical properties using pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular scaffolds.

Abstract
Polymersomes and related self-assembled nanostructures displaying Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) are highly relevant for plenty of applications in imaging, biology and functional devices. Experimentally simple, scalable and universal strategies for on-demand self-assembly of polymers rendering well-defined nanostructures are highly desirable. A purposefully designed combination of amphiphilic block copolymers including tunable lengths of hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEGm) and hydrophobic AIE polymer poly(tetraphenylethylene-trimethylenecarbonate) (P(TPE-TMC)n) has been studied at the air/liquid interface. The unique 2D assembly properties have been analyzed by thermodynamic measurements, UV-vis reflection spectroscopy and photoluminescence in combination with molecular dynamics simulations. The (PEG)m-b-P(TPE-TMC)n monolayers formed tunable 2D nanostructures self-assembled on demand by adjusting the available surface area. Tuning of the PEG length allows to modification of the area per polymer molecule at the air/liquid interface. Molecular detail on the arrangement of the polymer molecules and relevant molecular interactions has been convincingly described. AIE fluorescence at the air/liquid interface has been successfully achieved by the (PEG)m-b-P(TPE-TMC)n nanostructures. An experimentally simple 2D to 3D transition allowed to obtain 3D polymersomes in solution. This work suggests that engineered amphiphilic polymers for AIE may be suitable for selective 2D and 3D self-assembly for imaging and technological applications.

Abstract
The application of a coordination container in biomedicine is hindered by single binding domains and unsatisfactory biostability and biocompatibility. Herein, we designed a sulfonylcalix[4]arene-based decahexanuclear zinc(II) coordination container employing a flexible tetracarboxylate ligand as a linker and utilized it as a novel drug delivery system. The coordination container consisting of one endo and four exo cavities provides multiple binding domains for efficient encapsulation of drug molecules as clearly revealed by systematic host-guest studies using NMR techniques of 1H NMR titration experiments and 2D NOESY and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy studies. Incorporation of a flexible p-phenylene-bis(methanamino) spacer into the container via the carboxylate linker allowed a stepwise drug loading process through sequential binding at endo and exo cavities, as well as enabling pH-responsive stepwise drug release. The drug-loaded coordination container not only exhibits excellent biostability and biocompatibility but also provides encouraging therapeutic efficiency toward inflammatory macrophages as revealed by in vitro studies. The novel strategy for engineering the endo cavity of a coordination container provides a new approach to achieving controlled drug delivery and opens up new opportunities for designing novel functional supramolecular materials.

Abstract
By mimicking nature, various artificial nanofluidic platforms have been widely applied in a range of scientific fields. However, their low performance in terms of gating efficiency (<25) still hinders their practical applications. Herein, we present a highly efficient ionic gating nanosensor by fusing the merits of host-guest chemistry and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). Based on this strategy, the pillar[6]arene (WP6)-functionalized AuNPs facilely regulated an azobenzene (AZO)-modified nanosensor with an excellent ion rectification ratio (∼22.2) and gating efficiency (∼89.5). More importantly, this gating nanosensor system also demonstrated promising stability and recyclability under conditions of alternative irradiation of visible and ultraviolet light. These excellent results would significantly help in expanding the utilization of artificial nanosensors for controllable drug delivery and biosensors.

Furthermore, the host-guest complexation of such a bis-[2]pseudorotaxane metallacycle with a bis-pillar[5]arene (bisP5) allowed for the formation of a new family of cross-linked supramolecular polymers R⊃(bisP5)2, which displayed interesting redox-responsive properties. By taking advantage of the substantial structural differences between the coordination geometries of [Cu(phenanthroline)2]+ and [Cu(phenanthroline)2]2+, the weight-average diffusion coefficients D of the supramolecular polymer were adjusted through changing the redox state of the Cu(i)/Cu(ii) complexes.
