Abstract
Fluorescent supramolecular polymers have garnered significant attention due to their successful integration of supramolecular polymers and fluorescence, offering vast potential for applications in sensing, imaging, optoelectronics, and photonics. In this study, we present a novel supramolecular polymer based on P5-OH, derived from mono-substituted pillararene macrocycles. Notably, these formed supramolecular polymeric aggregates exhibit a prominent blue emission, representing a rare instance of fluorescent polymers devoid of conventional chromophores. Furthermore, through the modification of alkyl chain ending groups attached to pillar[5]arenes, slight shifts in the emission peak could be observed. This research expands the scope of functional supramolecular polymeric systems utilizing pillararenes, providing valuable insights for the design of innovative luminescent materials and optical devices.

Abstract
A series of carbazole-based vinyl-benzoxazole derivatives have been synthesized in order to verify whether X-ray diffraction (XRD) simulation can give more information about intermolecular stacking in the gel phase. It was found that their gelation capabilities were strongly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain. The compounds with shorter alkyl chains have lower critical gelation concentrations (CGCs) in nonpolar alkane and alcohols with longer carbon chains. On the other hand, compounds with long alkyl chains presented small CGCs in polar methanol. Powder XRD structure solution gave more information about intermolecular stacking than the traditional way of analyzing diffraction peaks to derive approximate molecular stacking patterns. The results verified that gelators had a similar head-to-tail π-stacking between aromatic groups in gel phases although different slipping angles existed. Moreover, ordered stacking between the alkyl chains was also present.

Abstract
For the last few decades, many efforts have been made in developing cell culture methods in order to overcome the biological limitations of the conventional two-dimensional culture. This paradigm shift is driven by a large amount of new hydrogel-based systems for three-dimensional culture, among other systems, since they are known to mimic some living tissue properties. One class of hydrogel precursors has received interest in the field of biomaterials, low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs). In comparison to polymer gels, LMWG gels are formed by weak interactions upon an external trigger between the molecular subunits, giving them the ability to reverse the gelation, thus showing potential for many applications of practical interest. This study presents the use of the nucleoside derivative subclass of LMWGs, which are glyco-nucleo-bola-amphiphiles, as a proof of concept of a 3D cell culture scaffold. Physicochemical characterization was performed in order to reach the optimal features to fulfill the requirements of the cell culture microenvironment, in terms of the mechanical properties, architecture, molecular diffusion, porosity, and experimental practicality. The retained conditions were tested by culturing glioblastoma cells for over a month. The cell viability, proliferation, and spatial organization showed during the experiments demonstrate the proof of concept of nucleoside-derived LMWGs as a soft 3D cell culture scaffold. One of the hydrogels tested permits cell proliferation and spheroidal organization over the entire culture time. These systems offer many advantages as they consume very few matters within the optimal range of viscoelasticity for cell culture, and the thermoreversibility of these hydrogels permits their use with few instruments. The LMWG-based scaffold for the 3D cell culture presented in this study unlocked the ability to grow spheroids from patient cells to reach personalized therapies by dramatically reducing the variability of the lattice used.

Abstract
The photoredox synthesis of C-5 (hetero)arylated uracil and uridine substrates with the corresponding diazonium salts is described. The coupling proceeds efficiently without protection of the hydroxyls at the ribose or pre-functionalization of the C5 position at the nucleobase. No transition-metal catalyst is used in this transformation, thereby avoiding metal contamination in the final products. The use of water as the medium also eliminates the impurities caused by the use of organic solvents. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
Nucleoside-lipid conjugates are very useful supramolecular building blocks to construct self-assembled architectures suited for biomedical and material applications. Such nucleoside derivatives can be further synthetically manipulated to endow additional functionalities that could augment the assembling process and impart interesting properties. Here, we report the design, synthesis and self-assembling process of multifunctional supramolecular nucleolipid synthons containing an environment-sensitive fluorescent guanine. The amphiphilic synthons are composed of an 8-(2-(benzofuran-2-yl)vinyl)-guanine core and alkyl chains attached to 3'-O and 5'-O-positions of 2'-deoxyguanosine. The 2-(benzofuran-2-yl)vinyl (BFV) moiety attached at the C8 position of the nucleobase adopted a syn conformation about the glycosidic bond, which facilitated the self-assembly process through the formation of a G-tetrad as the basic unit. While 3',5'-diacylated BFV-modified dG analog stabilized the guanosine hydrogel by hampering the crystallization process and imparted fluorescence, BFV-modified dGs containing longer alkyl chains formed a green fluorescent organogel, which transformed into a yellow fluorescent gel in the presence of a complementary non-fluorescent cytidine nucleolipid. The ability of the dG analog containing short alkyl chains to modulate the mechanical property of a gel, and interesting fluorescence properties and self-assembling behavior exhibited by the dG analogs containing long alkyl chains in response to heat and complementary base underscore the potential use of these new supramolecular synthons in material applications.

Abstract
Chromophores that exhibit aggregation-induced emission (i.e., aggregation-induced emission luminogens [AIEgens]) emit intense fluorescence in their aggregated states, but show negligible emission as discrete molecular species in solution due to the changes in restriction and freedom of intramolecular motions. As solvent-swollen quasi-solids with both a compact phase and a free space, gels enable manipulation of intramolecular motions. Thus, AIE-active gels have attracted significant interest owing to their various distinctive properties and promising application potential. Herein, a comprehensive overview of AIE-active gels is provided. The fabrication strategies employed are detailed, and the applications of AIEgens are summarized. In addition, the gel functions arising from the AIE moieties are revealed, along with their structure-property relationships. Furthermore, the applications of AIE-active gels in diverse areas are illustrated. Finally, ongoing challenges and potential means to address them are discussed, along with future perspectives on AIE-active gels, with the overall aim of inspiring research on novel materials and ideas.

Abstract
Carbohydrate based low molecular weight gelators have been an intense subject of study over the past decade. The self-assembling systems built from natural products have high significance as biocompatible materials and renewable resources. The versatile structures available from naturally existing monosaccharides have enriched the molecular libraries that can be used for the construction of gelators. The bottom-up strategy in designing low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) for a variety of applications has been adopted by many researchers. Rational design, along with some serendipitous discoveries, has resulted in multiple classes of molecular gelators. This review covers the literature from 2017-2020 on monosaccharide based gelators, including common hexoses, pentoses, along with some disaccharides and their derivatives. The structure-based design and structure to gelation property relationships are reviewed first, followed by stimuli-responsive gelators. The last section focuses on the applications of the sugar based gelators, including their utilization in environmental remediation, ion sensing, catalysis, drug delivery and 3D-printing. We will also review the available LMWGs and their structure correlations to the desired properties for different applications. This review aims at elucidating the design principles and structural features that are pertinent to various applications and hope to provide certain guidelines for researchers that are working at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science.

Abstract
Analogous to nucleic acids, the building blocks of nucleic acids and their derivatives are widely used to create supramolecular architectures for application mainly in the field of biomedicine. Here, we describe the construction of a multi-stimuli responsive and toxic dye adsorbing heterotypic hydrogel system formed using simple nucleoside-fatty acid conjugates. The nucleolipids are derived by coupling fatty acid chains of different lengths at the 5' position of ribothymidine and uridine. The nucleolipids in the presence of a strong base (e.g. NaOH) undergo partial hydrolysis, which triggers the self-assembly of the hydrolysed components resulting in the formation of heterotypic hydrogels. Notably, the gels are formed specifically in the presence of Na+ ions as other ions such as Li+ and K+ did not support the hydrogelation process. Systematic analysis by microscopy, NMR, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and rheology indicated that the deprotonated nucleolipid and fatty acid salt interdigitate and provide necessary electrostatic interactions supported by Na+ ions to set the path for the hierarchical assembly process. Notably, the hydrogels are highly sensitive to external stimuli, wherein gel-sol transition can be reversibly controlled by using temperature, pH and host-guest interaction. One of the hydrogels made of 5'-O-myristate-conjugated ribothymidine was found to selectively adsorb cationic dyes such as methylene blue and rhodamine 6G in a recyclable fashion. Taken together, the easily scalable assembly, multi-stimuli responsiveness and ability to capture and release dyes highlight the potential of our nucleolipid hydrogel system in material applications and in the treatment of dye industry wastes.

Abstract
The inherent control of the self-sorting and co-assembling process that has evolved in multi-component biological systems is not easy to emulate in vitro using synthetic supramolecular synthons. Here, using the basic component of nucleic acids and lipids, we describe a simple platform to build hierarchical assemblies of two component systems, which show an interesting self-sorting and co-assembling behavior. The assembling systems are made of a combination of amphiphilic purine and pyrimidine ribonucleoside-fatty acid conjugates (nucleolipids), which were prepared by coupling fatty acid acyl chains of different lengths at the 2'-O- and 3'-O-positions of the ribose sugar. Individually, the purine and pyrimidine nucleolipids adopt a distinct morphology, which either supports or does not support the gelation process. Interestingly, due to the subtle difference in the order of formation and stability of individual assemblies, different mixtures of supramolecular synthons and complementary ribonucleosides exhibit a cooperative and disruptive self-sorting and co-assembling behavior. A systematic morphological analysis combined with single crystal X-ray crystallography, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), NMR, CD, rheological and 3D X-ray microtomography studies provided insights into the mechanism of the self-sorting and co-assembling process. Taken together, this approach has enabled the construction of assemblies with unique higher ordered architectures and gels with remarkably enhanced mechanical strength that cannot be derived from the respective single component systems.

Abstract
A spiropyran-containing triazole-phosphatidylcholine (SPTPC) was synthesized through a copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cyclo-addition (CuAAC) reaction. In water, SPTPCs self-assembled and a spontaneous spiropyran-to-merocyanine (SP-to-MC) isomerization occurred, resulting in coexistence of liposomes and fibers, and switching from the spiropyran (SP) to the merocyanine (MC) isomeric structure induced a reversible transition between these molecular assemblies. Study of the self-assembly of SPTPCs and photo-induced liposome-fiber assembly-transition revealed that the presence of MC enabled additional inter-membrane interaction during self-assembly and that the MC-stacking effect was the driving force for the assembly-transition. Exposure to UV light induced switching from SP to MC, where the planar structure of MC and the confinement of MC led to enhanced MC-stacking. The effect of MC-stacking was both advantageous and disadvantageous: MC-stacking perturbed the hydrophobic phase in the bilayer membrane and facilitated the liposome-to-fiber transition, otherwise the MC-stacking retarded switching of MC to SP, and caused an incomplete recovery of MC to SP during fiber-to-liposome recovery, thus a fatigue of SP was induced by MC-stacking during the liposome-to-fiber transition cycle. To decrease the intermolecular interactions and suppress MC-stacking, photo-inert triazole-phosphatidylcholine (TPC) was incorporated to prepare two-component TPC/SPTPC-liposomes, which exhibited better recovery kinetics. The photo-adaptive behavior of TPC/SPTPC-liposomes confirmed the disturbance of bilayer membranes by inter-membrane MC-stacking and the formation of MCTPC-enriched phases in the bilayer membrane.

Abstract
RNAs are emerging as important biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The strategy of directly targeting double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by triplex-formation is relatively underexplored mainly due to the weak binding at physiological conditions for the traditional triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs). Compared to DNA and RNA, peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are chemically stable and have a neutral peptide-like backbone, and thus, they show significantly enhanced binding to natural nucleic acids. We have successfully developed nucleobase-modified dsRNA-binding PNAs (dbPNAs) to facilitate structure-specific and selective recognition of dsRNA over single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) and dsDNA regions at near-physiological conditions. The triplex formation strategy facilitates the targeting of not only the sequence but also the secondary structure of RNA. Here, we report the development of novel dbPNA-based fluorescent light-up probes through the incorporation of A-U pair-recognizing 5-benzothiophene uracil (btU). The incorporation of btU into dbPNAs does not affect the binding affinity toward dsRNAs significantly, in most cases, as evidenced by our nondenaturing gel shift assay data. The blue fluorescence emission intensity of btU-modified dbPNAs is sequence- and structure-specifically enhanced by dsRNAs, including the influenza viral RNA panhandle duplex and HIV-1-1 ribosomal frameshift-inducing RNA hairpin, but not ssRNAs or DNAs, at 200 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. Thus, dbPNAs incorporating btU-modified and other further modified fluorescent nucleobases will be useful biochemical tools for probing and detecting RNA structures, interactions, and functions.

Abstract
Biomolecule-based hydrogels have potential use in a wide range of applications such as controlled drug release, tissue engineering, and biofabrication. Herein, driven by specific interactions between ds-DNA (double-stranded DNA) and Zn2+ based metal-complexes, we report that the use of DNA as cross-linkers can enhance interactions between self-assembling Zn2+ complexes containing terpyridine and sugar groups in the generation of bioinspired hydrogels from solutions or suspensions. The gelation process is fast and straightforward without tedious steps and happens at room temperature. Such a hydrogelation process of different Zn2+ complexes endows the visualized and selective DNA analogue discrimination. Several experiments suggest that the strong intercalation binding of Zn2+ complexes with ds-DNA results in the unzipping of ds-DNA into ss-DNA (single-stranded DNA), which further behave as linkers to enhance the intermolecular interactions of self-assembling Zn2+ complex molecules via coordination interactions. This work demonstrates an efficient and universal strategy to prepare hydrogels based on biomolecular recognition. Moreover, the DNA responsive behaviors of Zn2+ complexes are further compared with that of solutions and cells.

Abstract
Surface-mediated self-assembly has potential in biomaterial development but underlying rules governing surface-gelator interactions are poorly understood. Here, we correlate surface properties with structural characterization data of nucleoside-based gels obtained by GISAXS and GIWAXS and find that hydrophobicity descriptors (log P, polar surface area, aromaticity) are key predictors for the gel structures formed.

Abstract
A series of sugar-based glycolipid derivatives were prepared by N-glycosylamines, and their organogelation property has been analyzed. We have observed the efficient gelation for some of the anilines substituted glycolipids derivatives in different aromatic and aliphatic solvents. It was found that the gelation occurred predominantly in aliphatic solvents with CGC of 0.8% (w/v) attributed to the presence of long alkyl chain in the glycolipids. The structural and morphological properties of the xerogels were investigated by NMR, powder XRD, and FE-SEM respectively. Furthermore, the thermal stability was analyzed by DSC.

Abstract
Chiral self-assembly has drawn increasing interest in supramolecular chemistry. Here, we have designed amphiphilic l-Pro-l-Glu and l-Pro-d-Glu dipeptides and investigated their chiral self-assembly as well as asymmetric catalytic performance to disclose the synergistic effect of two stereogenic centers in the self-assembly and catalysis. It was found that both of the diastereomeric dipeptides can easily self-assemble into organogels with nanofibers. When these nanofibers were used as a catalyst for the asymmetric aldol reactions, enhanced enantioselectivity was obtained compared with their molecular state. Moreover, the L-L isomer assemblies showed higher enantioselectivity than the L-D isomer. It was revealed that both the supramolecular chirality of the nanofiber and the chiral catalytic site of l-proline played important roles in the asymmetric catalysis. In addition, the synergistic effect of two homochiral centers led to more efficient supramolecular catalysis that the L-L assemblies showed high yields (up to 97%), anti-diastereoselectivity (up to 99%), and excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99%).

Abstract
Among the diversity of existing supramolecular hydrogels, nucleic acid-based hydrogels are of particular interest for potential drug delivery and tissue engineering applications because of their inherent biocompatibility. Hydrogel performance is directly related to the nanostructure and the self-assembly mechanism of the material, an aspect that is not well-understood for nucleic acid-based hydrogels in general and has not yet been explored for cytosine-based hydrogels in particular. Herein, we use a broad range of experimental characterization techniques along with molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to demonstrate the complementarity and applicability of both approaches for nucleic acid-based gelators in general and propose the self-assembly mechanism for a novel supramolecular gelator, N4-octanoyl-2'-deoxycytidine. The experimental data and the MD simulation are in complete agreement with each other and demonstrate the formation of a hydrophobic core within the fibrillar structures of these mainly water-containing materials. The characterization of the distinct duality of environments in this cytidine-based gel will form the basis for further encapsulation of both small hydrophobic drugs and biopharmaceuticals (proteins and nucleic acids) for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Owing to their multifarious applicability, studies of molecular and supramolecular gelators and their corresponding gels have gained momentum, particularly in the last two decades. Hydrophobic⁻hydrophilic balance, different solvent parameters, gelator⁻gelator and gelator⁻solvent interactions, including different noncovalent intermolecular interactive forces like H-bonding, ionic interactions, π⁻π interactions, van der Waals interactions, etc., cause the supramolecular gel assembly of micro and nano scales with different types of morphologies, depending on the gelator, solvent, and condition of gelation. These gel structures can be utilized for making template inorganic superstructures for potential application in separation, generation of nanocomposite materials, and other applications like self-healing, controlled drug encapsulation, release and delivery, as structuring agents, oil-spill recovery, for preparation of semi-conducting fabrics, and in many other fields. Sugars, being easily available, inexpensive, and nontoxic natural resources with multi functionality and well-defined chirality are attractive starting materials for the preparation of sugar-based gelators. This review will focus on compilation of sugar derived organogelators and the corresponding gels, along with the potential applications that have been developed and published recently between January 2015 and March 2018.

Abstract
An N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) catalyzed biomimetic Stetter reaction was applied for the first time as a bioconjugation reaction to sensitive nucleoside-type biomolecules to provide original pyrrole linked nucleolipids. A versatile approach allowed the functionalization of thymidine at the three reactive positions (O-5', O-3' and N-3) providing a structural diversity oriented synthesis. This strategy was applied to the synthesis of an original glyconucleolipid amphiphile in the hope that the pyrrole aromatic moiety would induce additional self-assembling properties.

Abstract
The facile tuning of the fluorescent properties of organogels is highly desirable for optical switches, light-emitting diodes, chemosensors and bioprobes. The design of organic molecules with multiple emission colors but only one molecular platform remains challenging. Herein, a new cholesterol-based organogelator N1 containing D-A pairs (salicylaldehyde and naphthalimide units) was designed. We successfully obtained multiple solvent-tuned emission colors in both the solution and gel states using a unimolecular platform. Moreover, the effects of the solvent on the gel morphology, rheology and anion-responsive properties were studied. Finally, we showed that the gel in benzene displayed reversible thermochromic properties with changes in emission color from yellow-green to red. Several experiments suggested that a short-distance and ordered array of the D-A pairs facilitated the efficient intermolecular electron transfer of the fluorophores.

Abstract
Supramolecular synthons based on nucleic acid components, nucleobases and nucleosides, and their derivatives have been highly useful in constructing wide varieties of nanoarchitectures. While most of the design strategies have focused on developing biocompatible delivery vehicles, the potential of nucleoside hybrids in assembling smart materials with tunable and sensing properties, though challenging, is gaining significant attention. Here, we describe the development of novel functional materials with surface tunability and metal-ion responsiveness by using simple nucleolipid supramolecular synthons derived by attaching various fatty acids to the 3'-O or 3',5'-O positions of the sugar residue of thymidine nucleoside. 3',5'-O-Difatty acid-substituted thymidines formed typical organogels in pure organic solvents, whereas, 3'-O-monofatty acid-substituted thymidine nucleolipids formed water-induced gels. A detailed morphological and structural analysis using microscopy, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, and NMR techniques clearly revealed the molecular interactions invoked by nucleobase, sugar, fatty acid chain, and water in setting up the path for hierarchical self-assembly and gelation of thymidine nucleolipids. Interestingly, the surface property of the xerogel film fabricated using 3'-O-monosubstituted nucleolipid gels could be switched from highly hydrophobic to hydrophilic and vice versa depending on the nature of the organic solvent-water mixture used in the gelation process. On the contrary, the gelation process of disubstituted thymidine nucleolipids was highly sensitive to the presence of Hg2+ ions as the metal ion formed a T-Hg-T base pair, thereby disrupting the H-bonding interactions that favored the gelation. Taken together, straightforward synthesis and modification-dependent gelation behavior, surface tunability, and metal-ion responsiveness underscore the potential of these supramolecular nucleolipid synthons in constructing novel functional materials.
