Abstract
Controlling the number of molecular switches and their relative positioning within porous materials is critical to their functionality and properties. The proximity of many molecular switches to one another can hinder or completely suppress their response. Herein, a synthetic strategy involving mixed linkers is used to control the distribution of spiropyran-functionalized linkers in a covalent organic framework (COF). The COF contains a spiropyran in each pore which exhibits excellent reversible photoswitching behavior to its merocyanine form in the solid state in response to UV/Vis light. The spiro-COF possesses an urchin-shaped morphology and exhibits a morphological transition to 2D nanosheets and vesicles in solution upon UV light irradiation. The merocyanine-equipped COFs are extremely stable and possess a more ordered structure with enhanced photoluminescence. This approach to modulating structural isomerization in the solid state is used to develop inkless printing media, while the photomediated polarity change is used for water harvesting applications.

Abstract
We have developed a borane-catalyzed sequential addition of terminal alkynes to para-substituted phenols, which affords a wide range of ortho-propargylic alkylated phenols bearing congested quaternary carbons. Control experiments combined with DFT calculations suggest that the reaction undergoes a sequential phenol alkenylation/hydroalkynylation process. Further extension of this strategy to the construction of triaryl-substituted quaternary carbons demonstrates the broad utility of this method.

Abstract
This study presents an efficient and systematic approach to synthesize bioapplicable porous hollow polymeric capsules (HPCs). The hydroxyl-functionalized nanoporous polymers with hollow capsular shapes could be generated via the moderate Friedel-Crafts reaction without using any hard or soft template. The numerous primitive hydroxyl groups on these HPCs were further converted to carboxyl groups. Owing to the abundance of highly branched carboxyl groups on the surface of the HPCs, biomolecules [such as folic acid (FA)] could be covalently decorated on these organic capsules (FA-HPCs) for drug delivery applications. The intrinsic hollow porosities and specific targeting agent offered a maximum drug encapsulation efficiency of up to 86% and drug release of up to 50% in 30 h in an acidic environment. The in vitro studies against cancer cells demonstrated that FA-HPCs exhibited a more efficient cellular uptake and intracellular doxorubicin release than bare HPCs. This efficient approach to fabricate carbonyl-functionalized hollow organic capsules may open avenues for a new type of morphological-controlled nanoporous polymers for various potential bioengineering applications.

Abstract
Tetraarylmethane derivatives are desirable for a variety of applications, but difficult to access with modern C-C bond-forming reactions. Here we report a straightforward method for palladium-catalysed arylation of aryl(heteroaryl)methanes and diaryl(heteroaryl)methanes with aryl chlorides. This reaction enables introduction of various aryl groups to construct triaryl(heteroaryl)methanes via a C-H functionalization in good to excellent yield, and represents the first step towards a general transition metal catalysed synthesis of tetraarylmethanes.

Abstract
Supramolecular self-assembly shows significant potential to construct responsive materials. By tailoring the structural parameters of organic building blocks, nanosystems can be fabricated, whose performance in catalysis, energy storage and conversion, and biomedicine has been explored. Since small organic building blocks are structurally simple, easily modified, and reproducible, they are frequently employed in supramolecular self-assembly and materials science. The dynamic and adaptive nature of self-assembled nanoarchitectures affords an enhanced sensitivity to the changes in environmental conditions, favoring their applications in controllable drug release and bioimaging. Here, recent significant research advancements of small-organic-molecule self-assembled nanoarchitectures toward biomedical applications are highlighted. Functionalized assemblies, mainly including vesicles, nanoparticles, and micelles are categorized according to their topological morphologies and functions. These nanoarchitectures with different topologies possess distinguishing advantages in biological applications, well incarnating the structure-property relationship. By presenting some important discoveries, three domains of these nanoarchitectures in biomedical research are covered, including biosensors, bioimaging, and controlled release/therapy. The strategies regarding how to design and characterize organic assemblies to exhibit biomedical applications are also discussed. Up-to-date research developments in the field are provided and research challenges to be overcome in future studies are revealed.

Abstract
Vesicles with dynamic membranes provide an ideal model system for investigating biological membrane activities, whereby vesicle aggregation behaviors including adhesion, fusion, fission, and membrane contraction/extension have attracted much attention. In this work we utilize an aromatic amino acid (pyrene-appended glutamic acid, PGlu) to prepare nanovesicles that aggregate to form vesicle clusters selectively induced by Fe(3+) or Cu(2+), and the vesicles transform into irregular nano-objects when interacting with Al(3+). Vesicle clusters have better stability than pristine vesicles, which hinders the spontaneous morphological transformation from vesicles into lamellar nanosheets with long incubation period. The difference between complexation of Fe(3+) and Al(3+) with vesicles was studied by various techniques. On the basis of metal ion-vesicle interactions, this self-assembled nanovesicle system also behaves as an effective fluorescent sensor for Fe(3+) and Al(3+), which cause fluorescence quenching and enhanced excimer emission, respectively.
