Abstract
Understanding the interaction between metal ions as catalytic centers and supramolecular scaffolds as chiral substrates plays an important role in developing chiral supramolecular catalysts with high enantioselectivity. Herein, we found that compared with l-norleucine chiral amphiphile (l-NorC16), l-methionine chiral amphiphile (l-MetC16) with the only heteroatom of S site difference in the hydrophilic group can form a similar supramolecular chiral nanoribbon (NR) with the bilayer structure through the self-assembly approach; yet, the interaction between the Cu(II) ion catalytic centers and supramolecular scaffolds is reinforced, favoring the chirality transfer and therefore enhancing their catalytic enantioselectivity of Diels-Alder reaction from 23% [l-NorC16-NR-Cu(II)] to 78% [l-MetC16-NR-Cu(II)]. Our work demonstrates a new strategy from the perspective of strengthening the metal ion-supramolecular scaffold interaction for the preparation of chiral supramolecular catalysts with good catalytic enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The development of chiral nanostructures-based supramolecular catalysts with satisfied enantioselectivity remains a significantly more challenging task. Herein, the synthesis and self-assembly of various amino acid amphiphiles as chiral supramolecular catalysts after metal ion coordination is reported and systematically investigate their enantioselectivity in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions. In particular, the self-assembly of l/d-phenylglycine-based amphiphiles (l/d-PhgC16) and Cu(II) into chiral supramolecular catalysts in the methanol/water solution mixture is described, which features the interesting M/P nanohelices (diameter ≈8 nm) and mostly well-aligned M/P nanoribbons (NRs). The M/P supramolecular catalysts show both high but inverse enantioselectivity (>90% ee) in Diels-Alder reactions, while their monomeric counterparts display nearly racemic products. Analysis of the catalytic results suggests the outstanding enantioselectivities are closely related to the specific stereochemical microenvironment provided by the arrangement of the amphiphiles in the supramolecular assembly. Based on the experimental evidence of chirality transfer from supramolecular nanohelices to coordinated Cu(II) and substrate aza-chalcone and the molecular dynamics simulations, the enantioselective catalytic mechanisms are proposed. Moreover, the relationships between molecular structures of amino acid amphiphiles (the hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic alkyl chain length) in supramolecular catalysts and enantioselectivity in Diels-Alder reactions are elaborated.

Abstract
The assembly of chiral peptides facilitates the formation of diverse supramolecular structures with unique physicochemical and biological properties. However, the effects of chirality on peptide assembly and resulting hydrogel properties remain underexplored. In this study, we systematically investigated the assembly propensity, morphology, and biostability of mixture of a pair of enantiomeric peptides LELCLALFLF (ECF-5) and DEDCDADFDF (ecf-5) at various ratios. Results indicate the development of β-sheet fibrils, ultimately leading to the formation of self-supporting hybrid hydrogels. The hydrogel formed at a ratio of 1:1 exhibits a significantly lower storage modulus (G') than of the ratios of 0:1, 1:3, 3:1 and 1:0 (nD/nL; same below). Kink-separated fragments of approximately 100 nm in length predominate at ratios of 1:3 and 3:1, compared with the smooth fibrils at other ratios, probably attributed to an alternating arrangement of the co-assembled and self-assembled peptide fragments. The introduction of ecf-5 to the hybrid hydrogels improves resistance to proteolytic digestion and maintains commendable biocompatibility in both MIN6 and HUVECs cells. These findings provide valuable insights into the development of hydrogels with tailored properties, positing them potential scaffolds for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Chiral self-assembly is the spontaneous organization of individual building blocks from chiral (bio)molecules to macroscopic objects into ordered superstructures. Chiral self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature, such as DNA and proteins, which formed the foundation of biological structures. In addition to chiral (bio) molecules, chiral ordered superstructures constructed by self-assembly have also attracted much attention. Chiral self-assembly usually refers to the process of forming chiral aggregates in an ordered arrangement under various non-covalent bonding such as H-bond, π-π interactions, van der Waals forces (dipole-dipole, electrostatic effects, etc.), and hydrophobic interactions. Chiral assembly involves the spontaneous process, which followed the minimum energy rule. It is essentially an intermolecular interaction force. Self-assembled chiral materials based on chiral recognition in electrochemistry, chiral catalysis, optical sensing, chiral separation, etc. have a broad application potential with the research development of chiral materials in recent years.

Abstract
The synthesis of a chiral supramolecular organogel via the hierarchical helical self-assembly of optically active riboflavin and melamine derivatives is described herein. Owing to the photocatalysis of riboflavin and the supramolecular chirality induced in the helically stacked riboflavin/melamine complex, the gel is observed to act as a light-stimulated chiral sensor of optically active alcohols by detecting the change in color from yellow to green. The gel also served as an efficient chiral adsorbent, enabling optical resolution of a racemic compound with high chiral recognition ability.

Abstract
Assembling macroscopic helices with controllable chirality and understanding their formation mechanism are highly desirable but challenging tasks for artificial systems, especially coordination polymers. Here, we utilize solvents as an effective tool to induce the formation of macroscopic helices of chiral coordination polymers (CPs) and manipulate their helical sense. We chose the Ni/R-,S-BrpempH2 system with a one-dimensional tubular structure, where R-,S-BrpempH2 stands for R-,S-(1-(4-bromophenyl)ethylaminomethylphosphonic acid). The morphology of the self-assemblies can be controlled by varying the cosolvent in water, resulting in the formation of twisted ribbons of R-,S-Ni(Brpemp)(H2O)·H2O (R-,S-2T) in pure H2O; needle-like crystals of R-,S-Ni(Brpemp)(H2O)2·1/3CH3CN (R-,S-1C) in 20 vol % CH3CN/H2O; nanofibers of R-,S-Ni(Brpemp)(H2O)·H2O (R-,S-3F) in 20-40 vol % methanol/H2O or ethanol/H2O; and superhelices of R-,S-Ni(Brpemp)(H2O)·H2O (R-,S-4H or 5H) in 40 vol % propanol/H2O. Interestingly, the helicity of the superhelix can be controlled by using a propanol isomer in water. For the Ni/R-BrpempH2 system, a left-handed superhelix of R-4H(M) was obtained in 40 vol % NPA/H2O, while a right-handed superhelix of R-5H(P) was isolated in 40 vol % IPA/H2O. These results were rationalized by theoretical calculations. Adsorption studies revealed the chiral recognition behavior of these compounds. This work may contribute to the development of chiral CPs with a macroscopic helical morphology and interesting functionalities.

Abstract
Understanding origin of asymmetric information encoded on chiral nanozymes is important in mediating enantioselective catalysis. Herein, the supramolecular chiral nanozymes constructed from P/M-polyaniline (P/M-PANI) nanotwists and metal ions (M2+ , M = Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn) are designed through thioglycolic acid (TA) without chiral molecules to show the regulated catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity. With combination of chiral environment from supramolecular scaffolds and catalytic center from metal ions, the P-PANI-TA-M2+ as nanozymes show preference to 3,4-dihydroxy-S-phenylalanine (S-DOPA) oxidation while the M-PANI-TA-M2+ show better selectivity to R-DOPA oxidation. Among them, though the Cu2+ doped supramolecular nanotwists show the highest catalytic efficiency, the Co2+ doped ones with moderate catalytic efficiency can exhibit the best enantioselectivity with select factor as high as 2.07. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation clarifies the mechanism of enantioselective catalysis caused by the differential kinetics with S/R-DOPA enantiomers adsorbed on chiral PANI surface and free in solution. This work systematically studies the synergistic effect between the chiral supramolecular nanostructures assembled by achiral species and metal ions as peroxidase-like catalytic centers to regulate the enantioselectivity, providing deep understanding of the origin of asymmetric catalysis and serving as strong foundation to guide the design of nanozymes with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
In this study, we present a colloidal assembly of histidyl bolaamphiphiles whose imidazoles coordinate with rhodium ions (HisC7[Rh]) to exhibit catalytic isomerization activity for cis-stilbene and cis-alkene molecules. The histidyl bolaamphiphiles self-assemble to form a soft scaffold that functions analogously to an apoenzyme. This scaffold exposes multiple histidyl imidazoles and carboxylates on its surface, to which rhodium ions bind, generating catalytically active sites. The Rh coordination with the biochemical functional groups was verified through comprehensive vibrational spectroscopy and calorimetry. The colloidal HisC7[Rh] demonstrated a significant catalytic effect on the isomerization of cis- to trans-stilbene under mild H2 conditions, resulting in 69% yield of trans-stilbene. In contrast, when Rh(cod)2BF4 was employed as a control catalyst, only the hydrogenated products of bibenzyl were obtained. These findings underscore the crucial role of histidyl motifs in exhibiting unique catalytic isomerization activity through the coordination with Rh. The catalytic activity of HisC7[Rh] is governed by several factors, such as rhodium content, solvent composition, temperature, and H2 pressure. Moreover, HisC7[Rh] displayed moderate isomerization activity towards not only stilbene but also unsaturated fatty acid isomers, highlighting its expansive potential as an isomerization catalyst.

Catalysis of a Diels-Alder Reaction between Azachalcones and Cyclopentadiene by a Recyclable Copper(II)-PEIP Metal-Organic Framework. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5298. [PMID: 37570002 PMCID: PMC10419979 DOI: 10.3390/ma16155298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable interest as emerging heterogeneous catalysts for organic transformations of synthetic utility. Herein, a Lewis-acidic MOF, {[Cu3(PEIP)2(5-NH2-mBDC)(DMF)]·7DMF}∞, denoted as Cu(ΙΙ)-PEIP, has been synthesized via a one-pot process and deployed as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for a Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Specifically, the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of 13 substituted azachalcone dienophiles with cyclopentadiene has been investigated. MOF-catalyzed reaction conditions were optimized, leading to the selection of water as the solvent, in the presence of 10% mol sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to address substrate solubility. The Cu(II)-PEIP catalyst showed excellent activity under these green and mild conditions, exhibiting comparable or, in some cases, superior efficiency to a homogeneous catalyst often employed in Diels-Alder reactions, namely, Cu(OTf)2. The nature of the azachalcone substituent played a significant role in the reactivity of the dienophiles, with electron-withdrawing (EW) substituents enhancing conversion and electron-donating (ED) ones exhibiting the opposite effect. Coordinating substituents appeared to enhance the endo selectivity. Importantly, the Cu(II)-PEIP catalyst can be readily isolated from the reaction mixture and recycled up to four times without any significant reduction in conversion or selectivity.

Abstract
Bolaamphiphiles or bolaforms have drawn particular interest in drug and gene delivery, and studies of bolaforms have been growing continuously. Bolaforms, due to their unique structure, exhibit specific self-assembly behavior in water. The present work aims to develop biodegradable cationic bolaforms with a better gene transfection ability. In this work, a novel cationic bolaform (Bola-1) with head groups bearing hydroxyl (OH) functionality was designed and synthesized to investigate self-assembly and gene transfection efficiency. The self-assembly behavior of Bola-1 in water was compared with that of the hydrochloride salt (Bola-2) of its precursor molecule to investigate the effect of the -OH functionality on their solution properties. Several techniques, including surface tension, electrical conductivity, fluorescence probe, calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, and atomic force microscopy, were employed for the physicochemical characterization of Bola-1 and Bola-2. Despite the presence of polar urea groups in the spacer chain, both bolaforms were found to form spherical or elongated micelles above a relatively low critical aggregation concentration (CAC). The presence of the OH group was found to significantly affect the CAC value. The results of calorimetric measurements suggested a thermodynamically favorable aggregate formation in salt-free water. Despite stronger binding efficiency with calf thymus DNA, in vitro gene transfection studies performed using adherent cell Hek 293 suggested that both Bola-1 and Bola-2 have gene transfection efficiency comparable to that of turbofectamine standard. Both bolaforms were found to exhibit significant in vitro cytotoxicity at higher concentrations. Also, the bolaforms showed beneficial antibacterial activity at higher concentrations.

Abstract
Chirality transfer is of vital importance that dominates the structure and functionality of biological systems and living matters. External physical stimulations, e.g. polarized light and mechanical forces, can trigger the chirality symmetry breaking, leading to the appearance of the enantiomeric entities created from a chiral self-assembly of achiral molecule. Here, several 2D assemblies with different chirality, synthesized on Au(111) surface by using achiral building blocks - glycylglycine (digly), the simplest polypeptide are reported. By delicately tuning the kinetic factors, i.e., one-step slow/rapid deposition, or stepwise slow deposition with mild annealing, achiral square hydrogen-bond organic frameworks (HOF), homochiral rhombic HOF and racemic rectangular assembly are achieved, respectively. Chirality induction and related symmetry broken in assemblies are introduced by the handedness (H-bond configurations in principle) of the assembled motifs and then amplified to the entire assemblies via the interaction between motifs. The results show that the chirality transfer and induction of biological assemblies can be tuned by altering the kinetic factors instead of applying external forces, which may offer an in-depth understanding and practical approach to peptide chiral assembly on the surfaces and can further facilitate the design of desired complex biomolecular superstructures.

Abstract
Biomimetic science has attracted great interest in the fields of chemistry, biology, materials science, and energy. Biomimetic mineralization is the process of synthesizing inorganic minerals under the control of organic molecules or biomolecules under mild conditions. Peptides are the motifs that constitute proteins, and can self-assemble into various hierarchical structures and show a high affinity for inorganic substances. Therefore, peptides can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of functional biomimetic materials. With the participation of peptides, the morphology, size, and composition of mineralized materials can be controlled precisely. Peptides not only provide well-defined templates for the nucleation and growth of inorganic nanomaterials but also have the potential to confer inorganic nanomaterials with high catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and biotherapeutic functions. In this review, we systematically summarize research progress in the formation mechanism, nanostructural manipulation, and applications of peptide-templated mineralized materials. These can further inspire researchers to design structurally complex and functionalized biomimetic materials with great promising applications.

Abstract
Three C3 symmetric macrolactams were very efficiently cyclized from their linear precursors. Adequately located substituents are responsible for the enhancement of reactivity that is not observed in the unsubstituted parent. DFT calculations show that the properly folded cyclization precursor, the reactive conformer, is more populated than other conformers, leading to a decrease of free energy of activation. The crystal structure of the ring substituted with three very bulky esters indicates that tubular stacking is preserved.

Abstract
The study of dynamic supramolecular chirality inversion (SMCI) not only helps to deepen the understanding of chiral transfer and amplification in both living organizations and artificially chemical self-assembly systems but also is useful for the development of smart chiral nanomaterials. However, it is still challenging to achieve the dynamic SMCI of the self-aggregation of metal-organic supramolecular polymers with great potential in asymmetric synthesis, chiroptical switches, and circular polarized luminescence. Here, we successfully developed a hierarchical coassembly system based on the mPAzPCC and various metal ions with effective chirality transfer and temporal-controlled SMCI. Due to the dynamic self-assembly and hierarchical chirality transfer of the Ag+/mPAzPCC complex driven by metallophilic interaction and coordination, morphological transition with nanoribbons, helical nanoribbons, and chiral nanotubules was successively obtained. Interestingly, the SMCI of chiral nanoaggregates was precisely regulated by solvents and metal ions in the Cu2+/mPAzPCC and Mn2+/mPAzPCC system. Besides, temporal-controlled dynamic SMCI switching from helix to bundled helix was clearly revealed in the aggregation of Cu2+/mPAzPCC, Mn2+/mPAzPCC, and Bi3+/mPAzPCC systems. This work provides a metallophilic interaction-mediated helical assembly pathway to dynamically modulate the chirality of metal-organic complex-based assemblies and deepen the understanding of the hierarchically dynamic self-assembly process, which would be of great potential in metal ion-mediated supramolecular asymmetric catalysis and bioinspired chiral sensing.

Abstract
The precise adjustment of handedness of helical architectures is important to regulate their functions. Macroscopic chirality inversion has been achieved in organic supramolecular systems by pH, metal ions, solvents, chiral and non-chiral additives, temperature, and light, but rarely in coordination polymers (CPs). In particular, salt-assisted macroscopic chirality inversion has not been reported. In this work, we carried out a systematic investigation on the role of pH and salt in regulating the morphology of CPs based on Gd(NO3)3 and R-(1-phenylethylamino)methylphosphonic acid (R-pempH2). Without extra NO3-, the chirality inversion from the left-handed superhelix R-M to the right-handed superhelix R-P can be achieved by pH modulation from 3.2 to 3.8. The addition of NaNO3 (2.0 eq) at pH 3.8 results in an inversion of chiral sense from R-P to R-M as a pure phase. To our knowledge, this is the first example of salt-assisted macroscopic helical inversion in artificial systems.

Abstract
Supramolecular chirality plays an indispensable role in living and synthetic systems. However, the generation and control of filament chirality in the supramolecular hydrogel of short peptides remains challenging. In this work, as the first example, we report that the heterodimerization of the enantiomeric mixture controls the alignment, chirality, and stiffness of fibrous hydrogels formed by aromatic building blocks. The properties of the resulting racemic hydrogel could not be achieved by either pure enantiomer. Cryo-EM images indicate that the mixture of L and D enantiomers forms chiral nanofibers, the percentage of which can be readily controlled through stoichiometric co-assembly of heterochiral enantiomers. 2D NOESY NMR and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy reveal that heterodimerization of enantiomers plays a crucial role in the formation of chiral nanofibers. Further mechanistic studies unravel the mechanism of supramolecular chirality formation in this two-component system. Molecular dynamics simulations confirm that the intermolecular hydrogen bond and π–π interaction of heterodimers play important roles in forming a chiral hydrogel. Furthermore, regulation of the adhesion and morphology of mammalian cells is achieved by tuning the relative ratio of L and D enantiomers at the same concentration. This work illustrates a novel strategy to control the supramolecular chirality of aromatic peptide hydrogels for materials science.

Abstract
Metallogels have attracted a great deal of interest because of their intriguing properties and applications in chemsensors, batteries, catalysis, and other fields. In this work, a novel ligand bearing terpyridine and hydroxyamine units was designed and synthesized. The ligand selectively gelated with copper ions in water by heating and cooling or sonication. Different physicochemical studies [Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and rheology] were conducted to characterize the gels. We show that coordination interaction, π-π interaction, and noncovalent interaction had obvious effects on the properties of the gel. Additionally, a stable radical hydrogel could be obtained by ultrasound treatment, which was accompanied by color variation from green to blue. This was further confirmed by UV-vis and EPR experiments. Furthermore, the copper metallogels were developed as catalysts for the preparation of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in water at 25 °C. Although various types of catalysts have been investigated, the use of metallogels as catalysts for the click reaction in water has been scarce. This strategy shows the process is simple, affords a high yield, and is "green" and economical.

Abstract
A guanosine-based hydrogel formed by the self-assembly of guanosine and 4-((l-prolinamide)methyl)phenylboronic acid was constructed. The G quartets were selectively stabilized by K+ ions to form a self-supporting transparent hydrogel. These guanosine-derived assemblies were used to catalyze the aldol reaction in water without any additives, affording desirable conversion and enantioselectivity of the product. The controlled assays of small-molecule components indicated that the stable assemblies were the definite species that achieved high enantioselective catalysis. The current catalytic system can be readily recovered by simple extraction and still acquired good performance of the reaction after four cycles.

Abstract
One basic principle regulating self-assembly is associated with the asymmetry of constituent building blocks or packing models. Using asymmetry to manipulate molecular-level devices and hierarchical functional materials is a promising topic in materials sciences and supramolecular chemistry. Here, exemplified by recent major achievements in chiral hierarchical self-assembly, we show how chirality may be utilized in the design, construction and evolution of highly ordered and complex chiral nanostructures. We focus on how unique functions can be developed by the exploitation of chiral nanostructures instead of single basic units. Our perspective on the future prospects of chiral nanostructures via the hierarchical self-assembly strategy is also discussed.

Abstract
The production of enantiopure chemicals is an essential part of modern chemical industry. Hence, the emergence of asymmetric catalysis led to dramatic changes in the procedures of chemical synthesis, and now it provides the most advantageous and economically executable solution for large-scale production of chiral chemicals. In recent years, nanostructures have emerged as potential materials for asymmetric synthesis. Indeed, on the one hand, nanomaterials offer great opportunities as catalysts in asymmetric catalysis, due to their tunable absorption, chirality, and unique energy transfer properties; on the other hand, the advantages of the larger surface area, increased number of unsaturated coordination centres, and more accessible active sites open prospects for catalyst encapsulation, partial or complete, in a nanoscale cavity, pore, pocket, or channel leading to alteration of the chemical reactivity through spatial confinement. This review focuses on anisotropic nanomaterials and considers the state-of-the-art progress in asymmetric synthesis catalysed by 1D, 2D and 3D nanostructures. The discussion comprises three main sections according to the nanostructure dimensionality. We analyze recent advances in materials and structure development, discuss the functional role of the nanomaterials in asymmetric synthesis, chirality, confinement effects, and reported enantioselectivity. Finally, the new opportunities and challenges of anisotropic 1D, 2D, and 3D nanomaterials in asymmetric synthesis, as well as the future prospects and current trends of the design and applications of these materials are analyzed in the Conclusions and outlook section.

Abstract
Helical architectures with controllable helical sense bias have recently attracted considerable interest for mimicking biological helices and developing novel chiral materials. Coordination polymers (CPs), composed of metal ion nodes and organic linkers, are intriguing systems showing tunable structures and functions. However, CPs with helical morphologies have rarely been explored so far. Particularly, chirality inversion through external stimulus has not been achieved in helical CPs. In this work, we carried out an in-depth investigation on the self-assembly of 1D gadolinium(III) phosphonate CPs using GdX3 (X=Cl, Br, I) and Gd(RSO3 ) (R=CH3 , C6 H5 , CF3 ) as metal sources and R-(1-phenylethylamino)methyl phosphonic acid (R-pempH2 ) as ligand. Superhelices were formed by precise control of the interchain interactions through different intercalated anions. Furthermore, the twisting direction of superhelices could be controlled by synergistic effect of anions and pH. This study may provide a new route to fabricate helical nanostructures of CPs with a desirable chiral sense and help understand the inner mechanism of the self-assembly process of macroscopic helical structures of molecular systems.

Abstract
The morphological transformation from microspheres to helical supramolecular nanofibers with controllable handedness is achieved by the introduction of molecular chirality based on amino acid derivatives (TDAP), and the chirality of the supramolecular architectures that are achieved is nullified through the coassembly of the equivalent TDAP enantiomers. The molecular detection of achiral melamine based on the R-TDAP-COOH supramolecular system is achieved by the appearance of helicity and inversion.

Abstract
Chiral compounds are known to be important not only because they are the fundamental components of living organisms, but also for their unique chiroptical properties. In recent years, scientists have fabricated several chiral organic supramolecular aggregates by using chiral physical fields, such as vortex flow. Herein, the relationship between dynamic chiroptical properties and rheological nature is discussed, suggesting the shear thinning properties of non-Newtonian fluids might help colloidal particles adopt a chiral arrangement in vortices. Furthermore, the storage modulus of colloids could be increased by adding a linking agent, which successfully kept the dynamic chiroptical properties in the static state. Moreover, the salt effect on the host-guest interaction involved in the colloids was studied, the results suggested a significant enhancement of the transferred dynamic circular dichroism for the achiral guest molecule.

Abstract
Bolaamphiphile, which is a class of amphiphilic molecules, has a unique structure of two hydrophilic head groups at the ends of the hydrophobic center. Peptidic bolaamphiphiles that employ peptides or amino acids as their hydrophilic groups exhibit unique biochemical activities when they self-organize into supramolecular structures, which are not observed in a single molecule. The self-assembled peptidic bolaamphiphiles hold considerable promise for imitating proteins with biochemical activities, such as specific affinity toward heterogeneous substances, a catalytic activity similar to a metalloenzyme, physicochemical activity from harmonized amino acid segments, and the capability to encapsulate genes like a viral vector. These diverse activities give rise to large research interest in biomaterials engineering, along with the synthesis and characterization of the assembled structures. This review aims to address the recent progress in the applications of peptidic bolaamphiphile assemblies whose densely packed peptide motifs on their surface and their stacked hydrophobic centers exhibit unique protein-like activity and designer functionality, respectively.

Abstract
Rational utilization of diverse weak forces in directing multiple-constituent chiral coassemblies is of vital importance in fabricating functional chiroptical materials. In this work, arene-perfluoroarene (AP) and hydrogen bonds were orthogonally employed to afford synergistic binary and ternary coassemblies. On the supramolecular scale, amino acids were connected to achiral pyrene moieties, which packed into supramolecular tilt chirality individually. The modified aromatic amino acids coassembled with melamine and octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) through multiple hydrogen bond and AP interactions, respectively, to construct binary and ternary systems. The introduction of hydrogen bonds and AP interactions shall alter the nanostructures and luminescent properties. Emergence of macroscopic chirality at nanoscale was realized, accompanied by the inversion of circularly polarized luminescence. These interactions working in an orthogonal way regulated the supramolecular chirality, emission properties, nanostructure transformation, and chiroptical activities, which enriched the protocols in designing functional chiral composites.

Abstract
Developing stable gel materials for adsorption and catalysis is one of the major themes of gel materials. However, it has been proven to be challenging to achieve them from small molecules. Herein, an imine gel is developed from tetra-aldehyde 4-{2,2-bis[(4-formylphenoxy)methyl]-3-(4-formylphenoxy)propoxy}benzaldehyde (A4) and 3,3'-dihydroxybenzidine (B2) based on dynamic covalent chemistry. The unstable A4B2-imine gel is further converted into a stable aromatic benzoxazole-linked A4B2-benzoxazole gel via oxidative cyclization, which has significantly improved chemical stability under acidic and basic conditions. Benefiting from the stability under acidic conditions, the A4B2-benzoxazole gel is used for Pd(II) adsorption and the adsorption capacity is 250 mg g-1. After PdCl2 immersion and reduction, palladium nanoparticles with a size distribution of 1.3-14.7 nm are encapsulated by the network structure of the stable porous benzoxazole gel matrix. The Pd@A4B2-benzoxazole gel exhibits high catalytic activity toward the reduction of toxic hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) (reaction rate constant = 0.0377 min-1), while there is no significant decrease in the catalytic efficiency after five cycles.

Abstract
We present the first example of macroscalar helices co‐assembled from temperature‐responsive carbohydrate‐based bolaamphiphiles (CHO‐Bolas) and 1,4‐benzenediboronic acid (BDBA). The CHO‐Bolas contained hydrophilic glucose or mannose moieties and a hydrophobic coumarin dimer. They showed temperature‐responsive reversible micelle‐to‐vesicle transition (MVT) in aqueous solutions. After the binding of carbohydrate moieties with boronic acids of BDBA in their alkaline solutions, right‐handed helices were formed via the temperature‐driven chirality transfer of d‐glucose or d‐mannose from the molecular to supramolecular level. These helices were co‐assembled by unreacted BDBA, boronate esters (B−O−C bonds) between CHO‐Bolas and BDBA, as well as boroxine anhydrides (B−O−B bonds) of self‐condensed BDBA. After heating at 300 °C under nitrogen, the helices displayed excellent morphological stability. Moreover, they emitted bright blue luminescence caused by strong self‐condensation of BDBA and decomposition of coumarin dimers.

Abstract
Self-assembly, as a typical bottom-up strategy for the fabrication of functional materials, has been applied to fabricate chiral materials with subtle chiral nanostructures. The chiral nanostructures exhibit great potential in asymmetric catalysis, chiral sensing, chiral electronics, photonics, and even the realization of several biological functions. According to existing studies, the supramolecular chirality transfer process combined with hierarchical self-assembly plays a vital role in the fabrication of multiscale chiral structures. This progress report focuses on the hierarchical self-assembly of chiral or achiral molecules that aggregate with asymmetric spatial structures such as twisted bands, helices, and superhelices in different environments. Herein, recent studies on the chirality transfer induced self-assembly based on a variety of supramolecular interactions are summarized. In addition, the influence of different environments and the states of systems including solutions, condensed states, gel systems, interfaces on the asymmetric hierarchical self-assembly, and the expression of chirality are explored. Moreover, both the driving forces that facilitate chiral bias and the supramolecular interactions that play an important role in the expression, transfer, and amplification of the chiral sense are correspondingly discussed.

Abstract
Precise control of the emergence of macroscopic helicity with specific handedness is promising in rationally designing chiral nanomaterials, but it is rather challenging. Herein, we present a protocol to address the transmission of helicity at a molecularly resolved level to a macroscopically resolved level, in which process supramolecular chirality undergoes an inversion. A series of N-terminal aromatic amino acids could self-assemble in water, enabling the occurrence of helicity at the molecularly resolved scale, evidenced by the single crystal structure and chiroptical responses. While it failed to transmit the helicity to the macroscopic scale for individual self-assembly, the coassembly with small organic binder through hydrogen bonding interactions allows for the emergence of helical structures at the nano/micrometer scale. Experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the introduction of extra hydrogen bonds enables a moderate crystallinity of coassemblies with remaining one-dimensional orientation to enhance the helical growth. The transmission of helicity to higher levels by coassembly is accompanied by the helicity inversion, resulting from the exchange of hydrogen bonds. This study presents a rational protocol to precisely control the emergence of macroscopic helicity from molecularly resolved helicity with finely tailored handedness, providing a deeper understanding of the chirality origin in the assembled systems in order to facilitate the design and construction of functional chiral nanomaterials.

Abstract
Although ultra-large optical asymmetry appears in crystalline materials, distractions from the mesoscopic ordering often causes inauthenticity in chiropticity. In amorphous materials, however, it remains challenging and elusive to achieve large chiropticity. Herein, we report the quantitative control of chiral amplification, on amorphous supramolecular structures of cholesteryl-linked bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II), to an exceptionally high level. A proper chiral packing of the building block at several molecular scale considerably contributes to the absorptive dissymmetry factor gabs , although the system is overall disordered. The intense and tunable aggregation strength renders a variable gabs value up to +0.10 and +0.31 in the solution and in film state. On this basis, a superior ON-OFF switching of chiropticity is realized under external stimuli. This work establishes a general design principle to control over ultra-large optical asymmetry on a wider scope of chiral materials.

Abstract
Supramolecular nanocatalysts were designed for asymmetric reactions through the self-assembly process of a bio-organometallic molecule, ferrocene-l-prolinamide (Fc-CO-NH-P). Fc-CO-NH-P could self-assemble into versatile nanostructures in water, including nanospheres, nanosheets, nanoflowers, and pieces. In particular, the self-assembled nanoflowers exhibited a superior specific surface area, high stability, and delicate three-dimensional (3D) chiral catalytic active sites. The nanoflowers could serve as heterogeneous catalysts with an excellent catalytic performance toward direct aldol reactions in aqueous solution, achieving both high yield (>99%) and stereoselectivity (anti/syn = 97:3, ee% >99%). This study proposed a significant strategy to fabricate supramolecular chiral catalysts, serving as a favorable template for designing new asymmetric catalysts.

Abstract
Biopolymers such as polysaccharides and proteins have been widely used for the chiral separation of various components due to the intrinsic chirality of the polymers. Amyloid-like short peptides can also self-assemble into diverse chiral supramolecular nanostructures or polymers with precisely tailored architectures driving by noncovalent interactions. However, the use of such supramolecular nanostructures for the resolution and separation of chiral components remains largely unexplored. Here, we report that the self-assembled peptide supramolecular nanostructures can be used for the highly efficient chiral separation of various enantiomers. By rationally designing the constituent amino acid sequence of the peptides and the self-assembling environment, we can fabricate supramolecular polymers with distinct surface charges and architectures, including nanohelices, nanoribbons, nanosheets, nanofibrils, and nanospheres. The various supramolecular nanostructures were then used to resolve the racemic mixtures of α-methylbenzylamine, 2-phenylpropionic acid, and 1-phenylethanol. The results indicated that the self-assembled peptide polymers showed excellent enantioselective separation efficiency for different chiral molecules. The enantioselective separation efficiency of the peptide nanostructures can be tailored by changing their surface charges, morphology, and the constituent amino acid sequences of the peptides.

Abstract
Self-assembled supramolecular materials derived from peptidic macromolecules with π-conjugated building blocks are of enormous interest because of their aqueous solubility and biocompatibility. The design rules to achieve tailored optoelectronic properties from these types of materials can be guided by computation and virtual screening rather than intuition-based experimental trial-and-error. Using machine learning, we reported previously that the supramolecular chirality in self-assembled aggregates from VEVAG-π-GAVEV type peptidic materials was most strongly influenced by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic packing of the alanine and valine residues. Herein, we build upon this idea to demonstrate through molecular-level experimental characterization and all-atom molecular modeling that varying the stereogenic centers of these residues has a profound impact on the optoelectronic properties of the supramolecular aggregates, whereas the variation of stereogenic centers of other residues has only nominal influence on these properties. This study highlights the synergy between computational and experimental insight relevant to the control of chiroptical or other electronic properties associated with supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Since various helical supramolecular polymers became available, their application to molecular chirality recognition have been anticipated but not extensively studied. So far, only a few examples of chiral reactions have been reported, but none for chiral separation. Here, we report the application of a helical supramolecular polymer to the enantio-separation of chiral guest molecules. The monomer of this supramolecular polymer is the salt-pair of a dendritic carboxylic acid with an enantiopure amino alcohol. In an apolar solvent, this salt-pair stacks via hydrogen bonds to form a helical polymer. In conjunction with this carboxylic acid, various amino alcohols afford supramolecular polymers, whose helical handedness is determined by the stereochemistry of the amino alcohols. When two salts with the same chirality are mixed, they undergo copolymerization, while those with opposite chirality do not. Owing to this stereoselective copolymerizability, the helical supramolecular polymer could bias the enantiomeric composition of chiral amino alcohols. Since various helical supramolecular polymers became available, their application in molecular chirality recognition have been anticipated but not extensively studied. Here, the authors report the application of a helical supramolecular polymer for the enantio separation of chiral guest molecules.

Abstract
Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such as carbon and other inorganic nanotubes. To date, diverse self-assembly processes and elaborate template procedures using rationally designed organic molecules have produced suitable tubular architectures with definite dimensions, structural complexity, and hierarchy for expected functions and applications. Herein, we comprehensively discuss every functions and possible applications of a wide range of SMNTs as bulk materials or single components. This Review highlights valuable contributions mainly in the past decade. Fifteen different families of SMNTs are discussed from the viewpoints of chemical, physical, biological, and medical applications, as well as action fields (e.g., interior, wall, exterior, whole structure, and ensemble of nanotubes). Chemical applications of the SMNTs are associated with encapsulating materials and sensors. SMNTs also behave, while sometimes undergoing morphological transformation, as a catalyst, template, liquid crystal, hydro-/organogel, superhydrophobic surface, and micron size engine. Physical functions pertain to ferro-/piezoelectricity and energy migration/storage, leading to the applications to electrodes or supercapacitors, and mechanical reinforcement. Biological functions involve artificial chaperone, transmembrane transport, nanochannels, and channel reactors. Finally, medical functions range over drug delivery, nonviral gene transfer vector, and virus trap.
