Abstract
Cucurbit[n]uril supramolecular chemistry has developed rapidly since 2001 when different cucurbit[n]uril homologues (Q[n]) were successfully separated in pure form. The combination of Q[n] cavity size and various types of external stimuli has given birth to numerous types of Q[n]-based mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), including (pseudo)rotaxanes, catenanes, dendrimers and poly(pseudo)rotaxanes. In this review article, the important advances in the field of Q[n]-based MIMs over the past two decades are highlighted. This review also describes examples of heterowheel (pseudo)rotaxanes and poly(pseudo)rotaxanes involving Q[n]s, and reflects on the opportunities and challenges of constructing Q[n]-based stimuli-responsive MIMs.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic autoimmune disease associated with progressive disability, systemic complications, and poor prognosis. The improved understanding of the roles of immune signaling pathway inhibitors has shed light on designing new and more effective approaches for RA treatment. In this work, an inflammation-responsive and molecularly targeted drug system has been developed for RA therapy. The drug carrier was synthesized by covalently grafting hydrophobic cholesterol (Chol) molecules onto a hydrophilic chondroitin sulfate (CS) chain via the inflammation-responsive diselenide bonds (SeSe). The resultant amphiphilic polymer CSSeSeChol readily forms nanoparticles (NPs) and encapsulates two kinase inhibitors tofacitinib and SP600125 in aqueous media. Upon administration into the RA mouse model, the nanodrug accumulates in RA lesions and releases the inhibitors for regulating the JAK-STAT and JNK pathways. As a result, the nanodrug exhibits satisfactory efficacy in RA treatment by suppressing the expression of relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines, blocking the activation of osteoclasts and providing protection for cartilage and joints.

Abstract
Chemotherapy, combined with other treatments, is widely applied in the clinical treatment of cancer. However, deficiencies inherited from the traditional route of administration limit its successful application. With the development of nanotechnology, a series of smart nanodelivery systems have been developed to utilize the unique tumor environment (pH changes, different enzymes, and redox potential gradients) and exogenous stimuli (thermal changes, magnetic fields, and light) to improve the curative effect of anticancer drugs. In this review, endogenous and exogenous stimuli are briefly introduced. Among these stimuli, various redox-sensitive linkages are primarily described in detail, and their application with self-assembled nanoparticles is recounted. Finally, the application of redox-responsive self-assembled nanoparticles in cancer therapy is summarized.

Abstract
A new type of dynamic covalent macrocycle with self-promoted supramolecular gelation behavior is developed. Under oxidative conditions, the dithiol compound containing a diamide alkyl linker with an odd number (7) of carbon chain and an appended crown ether shows a remarkable gelation ability in acetonitrile, without any template molecules. Due to the existence of crown ethers and disulfide bonds, the obtained gel shows a multiple stimuli-responsiveness behavior. The mechanical properties and reversibility of the gel are investigated. Computational modeling suggests that the peripheral chain for diamide hydrogen bonding is responsible for the gelation process.

Abstract
Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is unique and notable in the cucurbit[n]uril family, since it has a relatively large cavity and thus is able to simultaneously accommodate two guest molecules. Typically, an electron-deficient first guest and an electron-rich second guest can be bound by CB[8] to form a stable 1:1:1 heteroternary supramolecular complex. Additionally, two homo guests can also be strongly dimerized inside the cavity of CB[8] to form a 2:1 homoternary supramolecular complex. During the past decade, by combining polymer science and CB[8] host-guest chemistry, a variety of systems have been established to construct supramolecular polymers with polymer chains typically at the nanoscale/sub-microscale, and CB[8]-based micro/nanostructured polymer materials in the form of polymer networks and hydrogels, microcapsules, micelles, vesicles, and colloidal particles, normally in solution and occasionally on surfaces. This Review summarizes the noncovalent interactions and strategies used for the preparation of CB[8]-based polymers and polymer materials with a focus on the representative and latest developments, followed by a brief discussion of their characterization, properties, and applications.

Abstract
Coil-rod-coil amphipathic oligomers composed of a rigid dianthranide unit and a hydrophilic branched oligoether as the coil segment were synthesized. These amphiphilic molecules self-assemble into clew-like aggregates composed of fibres or helical nanofibers in aqueous solution. Subsequently, supramolecular polymers were produced from the above objects through charge-transfer interactions by adding 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (4F-TCNQ). Interestingly, temperature-sensitive supramolecular chirality was induced by lateral methyl units located at the interface of the rigid and flexible segments. However, upon addition of the electron-acceptor molecule, 4F-TCNQ, strong donor-acceptor interactions restrict any change in supramolecular chirality with temperature.

Abstract
Rigid-flexible amphiphilic molecules consisting of an aromatic segment based on pyrene and biphenyl units and hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chains self-assemble into lamellar, hexagonal columnar, and two-dimensional columnar nanostructures in the bulk state. In aqueous solution, these molecules self-assemble into nanofibers, spherical micelles, and multilayer nanotubes, depending on the chain or rod length of the molecules. Notably, ordered nanostructures of supramolecular polymers, such as single-layer curving fragments, nanofibers, and nanosheets, were constructed through charge-transfer interactions between the nanoobjects and an electron-acceptor molecule, 2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluorenone. These experimental results reveal that diverse supramolecular morphologies can be controlled by tuning rod-coil molecular interactions or charge-transfer interactions between the donor and acceptor molecules.

Abstract
Amphiphilic coil-rod-coil molecules, incorporating flexible and rigid blocks, have a strong affinity to self-organize into various supramolecular aggregates in bulk and in aqueous solutions. In this paper, we report the self-assembling behavior of amphiphilic coil-rod-coil molecular isomers. These molecules consist of biphenyl and phenyl units connected by ether bonds as the rod segment, and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with a degree of polymerization of 7 and 12 as the flexible chains. Their aggregation behavior was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermal optical polarized microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results imply that the molecular structure of the rod building block and the length of the PEO chains dramatically influence the creation of supramolecular aggregates in bulk and in aqueous solutions. In the bulk state, these molecules self-organize into a hexagonal perforated lamellar and an oblique columnar structure, respectively, depending on the sequence of the rod building block. In aqueous solution, the molecule with a linear rod segment self-assembles into sheet-like nanoribbons. In contrast, its isomer, with a rod building block substituted at the meta-position of the aryl group, self-organizes into nanofibers. This is achieved through the control of the non-covalent interactions of the rod building blocks.

Abstract
The self-assembling behavior of coil-rod-coil molecules 1a, 1b, and 2a, 2b was investigated using DSC, POM, SAXS, and AFM in bulk and aqueous solutions. These molecules contain p-quinquephenyl groups as rod segments incorporating lateral hydroxyl or methoxyl groups in the center positions and oligo(ethylene oxide)s as the coil segments. Molecules 1a and 1b, with lateral methoxyl groups in the rod segments, self-assemble into oblique columnar structures in the crystalline phase and transform into nematic phases. On the other hand, molecules 2a and 2b, with hydroxyl groups in the center of their rod segments, self-organize into hexagonal perforated lamellar and oblique columnar nano-structures in the crystalline and liquid crystalline phase, respectively. In aqueous solutions, these molecules aggregate into nano-ribbons and vesicles, depending on their lateral groups and oligo(ethylene oxide) chain lengths. These results imply that the lateral methoxyl or hydroxyl groups, present in the center of the rod segments, significantly influence the formation of various supramolecular nano-structures in the bulk state and in aqueous solution. This is achieved via tuning of the non-covalent interactions of the rod building blocks.

Abstract
Biocompatible and enzyme-responsive supramolecular assemblies have attracted more and more interest in biomaterial fields, and find many feasible applications especially in the controlled drug release at specific sites where the target enzyme is located. In this work, novel supramolecular nanoparticles were successfully constructed from two biocompatible materials, i.e. a cyclic polysaccharide named sulfato-β-cyclodextrin (SCD) and a protein named protamine, through non-covalent association, and fully characterized by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Significantly, the disassembly of the resulting nanoparticles can respond especially to trypsin over other enzymes. Owing to their trypsin-triggered disassembly behaviors, these nanoparticles can efficiently release the encapsulated model substrate in a controlled manner. That is, the model substrate can be encapsulated inside the nanoparticles with a high stability and released when treated with trypsin.
