Abstract
An anionic azobenzene-appended derivative of L-ValylGlycine self-assembles into nanotubes in water. Irradiation with 365 nm light provokes trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene unit and subsequent tube disassembly. Thermal or photoinduced (457 nm light) recovery of the trans isomer restores the nanotubes.

Abstract
Nanopore-based detection techniques, with a wide range of transport properties, exhibit impressive selectivity and sensitivity for analytes. To expand the application of nanoporous sensors, real-time and fast detection of targets, all within a portable device, is highly desired for nanopore-based sensors. In addition, to improve the accuracy of the output signal, more appropriate readout methods also need to be explored. In this manuscript, we describe a nanopore-based electrode, regarded as NAC-P6-PC@AuE, prepared by coupling a pillararene-based nanoporous membrane with an electrochemical impedance measurement method. The fabricated device is demonstrated by exposing pillararene-based receptors to trace amounts of pesticide molecules. NAC-P6-PC@AuE devices exhibit distinguished selectivity to quinotrione, as well as the ability to quantify quinotrione with a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 10 nM. The mechanism that allows sensing was verified using finite-element simulations and may be explained as host-guest-induced surface charge shielding, which influences the electrochemical response of probe molecules. The applications of this nanopore-based electrode may be extended toward other target molecules by decorating the nanopore surfaces with specifically chosen receptors.

Abstract
Robust synthesis of large-scale self-assembled nanostructures with long-range organization and a prominent response to external stimuli is critical to their application in functional plasmonics. Here, the first example of a material made of liquid crystalline nanoparticles which exhibits UV-light responsive surface plasmon resonance in a condensed state is presented. To obtain the material, metal cores are grafted with two types of organic ligands. A promesogenic derivative softens the system and induces rich liquid crystal phase polymorphism. Second, an azobenzene derivative endows nanoparticles with photoresponsive properties. It is shown that nanoparticles covered with a mixture of these ligands assemble into long-range ordered structures which exhibit a novel dual-responsivity. The structure and plasmonic properties of the assemblies can be controlled by a change in temperature as well as by UV-light irradiation. These results present an efficient way to obtain bulk quantities of self-assembled nanostructured materials with stability that is unattainable by alternative methods such as matrix-assisted or DNA-mediated organization.

Abstract
Pillararenes are a unique group of supramolecular macrocycles, presenting important features and potential applications on account of their intrinsic structural properties and functionality. Developing pillararene-based self-assembled amphiphiles (PSAs) is an efficient approach to translate pillararenes into functional systems and materials for facilitating their practical applications. In this review article, we highlight recent significant advancements in PSAs. A new standard according to the number, solubility, and amphiphilicity of building blocks is employed for dividing PSAs into different categories. The fabrication of PSAs based on various building blocks and supramolecular interactions, and the formation of amphiphile-based self-assemblies are then discussed based on this standard. Furthermore, interesting stimulus-responsiveness to various factors, such as pH, redox, temperature, light, ionic effect, and host-guest competition, generated by the functional groups on various building blocks is summarized, and the corresponding supramolecular interactions in PSAs and their self-assemblies are elaborated. In addition, some important applications of PSAs and their assemblies are discussed. This review not only provides fundamental findings on the construction of PSAs, but also foresees future research directions in this rapidly developing area.

Abstract
Supramolecular assemblies are constructed from at least two molecules through various noncovalent bonding modes such as hydrogen bonding, cationic-anionic electrostatic interactions, aromatic interactions, metal-ligand bonding, hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions, and charge-transfer interactions. Owing to the dynamic and reversible nature of these noncovalent bonds, the assembly and disassembly of these molecules are dynamic and reversible. Molecules self-assemble to form the most conformationally and thermally stable structures through these noncovalent interactions. The formation of these noncovalent interactions is affected by the properties of the environment such as its polarity, temperature, and pressure; thus, the structure of the assembled compounds is determined by the environment. The sizes and shapes of the supramolecular assemblies play an important role in determining their functions. Therefore, controlling their size and shape is important. Introducing stimuli-responsive groups into supramolecular assemblies is a useful way to control their size and shape. Controlling supramolecular structures and motions with external stimuli, i.e., periodic and rotational motions on the molecular scale, structures, and molecular weights at the nano- and micrometer scales, visible shrinking/expansion, and adhesive behavior at a macroscopic scale, is very useful. Macrocyclic host molecules are useful building blocks for the construction of stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies because their host ability can be tuned by changing the shape and electron density of the cavity. The size-dependent hosting ability of the cavity is similar to the lock-and-key model in biological systems. Stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies have been developed by using macrocyclic compounds such as cyclodextrins, cucurbit[ n]urils, calix[ n]arenes, crown ethers, and related macrocycles. We successfully developed new pillar-shaped macrocyclic hosts in 2008, which were coined pillar[ n]arenes. The unique structural features of pillar[ n]arenes allowed new properties. This year, 2018, marks one decade of research into pillar[ n]arene chemistry, and in that time the properties of pillar[ n]arenes have been widely investigated by various scientists. Thanks to their efforts, the characteristic properties of pillar[ n]arenes that result from their pillar-shaped structures have been elucidated. Their host ability, the chirality of their pillar-shaped structure, and their versatile functionality are unique features of pillar[ n]arenes not seen in other well-known hosts, and these properties are very useful for the creation of new stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies. In this Account, we describe photo-, pH- and redox-responsive supramolecular assemblies based on pillar[ n]arenes. First, we discuss molecular-scale stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies, i.e., pseudorotaxanes, pseudocatenanes, and supramolecular polymers. We also highlight subnanometer- and micrometer-scale stimuli-responsive supramolecular assembles such as particles and vesicles. Finally, we discuss the macroscopic stimuli-responsive structural changes of surfaces and gels. This Account will provide useful information for researchers working on not only pillar[ n]arene chemistry but also the chemistry of other macrocyclic hosts, and it will inspire new discoveries in the field of supramolecular assemblies and systems containing macrocyclic hosts.
