Abstract
The development of color-tunable white-light-emitting systems is significant for artificial smart materials. Recently, a set of conformational dependent fluorophores N,N'-diaryl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines (DPACs) have been developed with unique photoluminescence mechanism vibration-induced emission (VIE). DPACs can emit intrinsical blue emission at a bent excited state and abnormal orange-red emission at a planar excited state, which are due to the varied π-conjugation via excited-state configuration transformation along the N-N' axis from bent to planar form. Herein, a novel VIE-active compound DPAC-[B15C5]2 is designed and synthesized with two wings of benzo-15-crown-5. The excited-state vibration of the DPAC moiety can be modulated by tuning the supramolecular assembly and disassembly via chelation competition of K+ between 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6, and hence, a wide-color-tuning emission is achieved from blue to orange-red including white. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy experiments were conducted to exhibit the supramolecular assembling process. Additionally, the moisture detection in organic solvents is realized since the water could dissociate the supramolecular assembly.

Abstract
To develop fluorescent organic nanoparticles with tailored properties for imaging and sensing, full control over the size, fluorescence, stability, dynamics, and supramolecular organization of these particles is crucial. We have designed, synthesized, and fully characterized 12 nonionic fluorene co-oligomers that formed self-assembled fluorescent nanoparticles in water. In these series of molecules, the ratio of hydrophilic ethylene glycol and hydrophobic alkyl side chains was systematically altered to investigate its role on the above-mentioned properties. The nanoparticles consisting of π-conjugated oligomers containing polar ethylene glycol side chains were less stable and larger in size, while nanoparticles self-assembled from oligomers containing nonpolar pendant chains were more stable, smaller, and generally had a higher fluorescence quantum yield. Furthermore, the dynamics of the molecules between the nanoparticles was enhanced if the number of hydrophilic side chains increased. Energy transfer studies between naphthalene and benzothiadiazole fluorene co-oligomers with the same side chains showed no exchange of molecules between the particles for the apolar molecules. For the more polar systems, the exchange of molecules between nanoparticles took place at room temperature or after annealing. Self-assembled nanoparticles consisting of π-conjugated oligomers having different side chains caused self-sorting, resulting either in the formation of domains within particles or the formation of separate nanoparticles. Our results show that we can control the stability, fluorescence, dynamics, and self-sorting properties of the nanoparticles by simply changing the nature of the side chains of the π-conjugated oligomers. These findings are not only important for the field of self-assembled nanoparticles but also for the construction of well-defined multicomponent supramolecular materials in general.

Abstract
pi-Conjugated molecules are interesting components to prepare fluorescent nanoparticles. From the use of polymer chains that form small aggregates in water to the self-assembly of small chromophoric segments into highly ordered structures, the preparation of these materials allows to develop systems with applications as sensors or biolabels. The potential functionalization of the nanoparticles can lead to specific probing. This progress report describes the recent advances in the preparation of such emittive organic nanoparticles.

Abstract
To study the supramolecular polymerisation mechanisms of a self-assembling system, concentration- and temperature-dependent measurements can both be used to probe the transition from the molecular dissolved state to the aggregated state. In this report, both methods are evaluated to determine their effectiveness in identifying and quantifying the self-assembly mechanism for isodesmic and cooperative self-assembling systems. It was found that for a rapid and unambiguous determination of the self-assembly mechanism and its thermodynamic parameters, temperature-dependent measurements are more appropriate. These studies allow the acquisition of a large data set leading to an accurate determination of the self-assembly mechanism and quantification of the different thermodynamic parameters that describe the supramolecular polymerisation. For a comprehensive characterisation, additional concentration-dependent measurements can be performed.
