Abstract
Aromatic-carbonyl (Ar···C═O) interactions, attractive interactions between the arene plane and the carbon atom of carbonyl, are in the infancy as one type of new supramolecular bonding forces. Here the study and functionalization of aromatic-carbonyl interactions in solution is reported. A combination of aromatic-carbonyl interactions and dynamic covalent chemistry provided a versatile avenue. The stabilizing role and mechanism of arene-aldehyde/imine interactions are elucidated through crystal structures, NMR studies, and computational evidence. The movement of imine exchange equilibria further allowed the quantification of the interplay between arene-aldehyde/imine interactions and dynamic imine chemistry, with solvent effects offering another handle and matching the electrostatic feature of the interactions. Moreover, arene-aldehyde/imine interactions enabled the reversal of kinetic and thermodynamic selectivity and sorting of dynamic covalent libraries. To show the functional utility diverse modulation of fluorescence signals is realized with arene-aldehyde/imine interactions. The results should find applications in many aspects, including molecular recognition, assemblies, catalysis, and intelligent materials.

Abstract
The mechanisms through which environmental conditions affect the expression of interconnected species is a key step to comprehending the principles underlying complex chemical processes. In Nature, chemical modifications triggered by the environment have a major impact on the structure and function of biomolecules and regulate different reaction pathways. Yet, minimalistic artificial systems implementing related adaptation behaviours remain barely explored. The hydrolysis of amino acid methyl esters to their corresponding amino acids leads to a drastic change in pKa (ca. 7 and 9, respectively) that protonates the free amino group at physiological conditions. Dynamic covalent libraries (DCvLs) based on amino acid methyl esters and aldehydes respond to such hydrolysis and lead to constitutional adaptation. Each of the libraries studied experiences a DCvL conversion allowing for constituent selection due to the silencing of the zwitterionic amino acids towards imine formation. The selective action of different enzymes on the DCvLs results in states with simplified constitutional distributions and transient chirality. When additional components (i.e., scavengers) that are not affected by hydrolysis are introduced into the dynamic libraries, the amino acid methyl ester hydrolysis induces the up-regulation of the constituents made of these scavenging components. In these systems, the constituent distribution is resolved from a scrambled mixture of imines to a state characterized by the predominance of a single aldimine. Remarkably, although the final libraries display higher "simplexity", the different transient states present an increased complexity that allows for the emergence of organized structures [micelle formation] and distributions [up-regulation of two antagonistic constituents]. This reactive site inhibition by a remote chemical modification resembles the scenario found in some enzymes for the regulation of their activity through proximal post-translational modifications.

Abstract
Multi-addressable molecular switches with high sophistication are creating intensive interest, but are challenging to control. Herein, we incorporated ring-chain dynamic covalent sites into azoquinoline scaffolds for the construction of multi-responsive and multi-state switching systems. The manipulation of ring-chain equilibrium by acid/base and dynamic covalent reactions with primary/secondary amines allowed the regulation of E/Z photoisomerization. Moreover, the carboxyl and quinoline motifs provided recognition handles for the chelation of metal ions and turning off photoswitching, with otherwise inaccessible Z-isomer complexes obtained via the change of stimulation sequence. Particularly, the distinct metal binding behaviors of primary amine and secondary amine products offered a facile way for modulating E/Z switching and dynamic covalent reactivity. As a result, multiple control of azoarene photoswitches was accomplished, including light, pH, metal ions, and amine nucleophiles, with interplay between diverse stimuli further enabling addressable multi-state switching within reaction networks. The underlying structural and mechanistic insights were elucidated, paving the way for the creation of complex switching systems, molecular assemblies, and intelligent materials.

Abstract
Dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) focuses on the reversible formation, breakage, and exchange of covalent bonds and assemblies, setting a bridge between irreversible organic synthesis and supramolecular chemistry and finding wide utility. In order to enhance structural and functional diversity and complexity, different types of dynamic covalent reactions (DCRs) are placed in one vessel, encompassing orthogonal DCC without crosstalk and communicating DCC with a shared reactive functional group. As a means of adding tautomers, widespread in chemistry, to interconnected DCRs and combining the features of orthogonal and communicating DCRs, a concept of dual reactivity based DCC and underlying structural and mechanistic insights are summarized. The manipulation of the distinct reactivity of structurally diverse ring-chain tautomers allows selective activation and switching of reaction pathways and corresponding DCRs (C-N, C-O, and C-S) and assemblies. The coupling with photoswitches further enables light-mediated formation and scission of multiple types of reversible covalent bonds. To showcase the capability of dual reactivity based DCC, the versatile applications in dynamic polymers and luminescent materials are presented, paving the way for future functionalization studies.

Abstract
The acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) between alcohols and amines to produce imines has been achieved mostly by employing precious-metal-based complexes or complexes of earth-abundant metal ions with sensitive and complicated ligand systems as catalysts mostly under harsh reaction conditions. Methodologies using readily available earth-abundant metal salts as catalysts without the requirement of ligand, oxidant, or any external additives are not explored. We report an unprecedented microwave-assisted CoCl2-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of benzyl alcohol and amine for the synthesis of E-aldimines, N-heterocycles, and H2 under mild condition, without any complicated exogenous ligand template, oxidant, or other additives. This environmentally benign methodology exhibits broad substrate scope (43 including 7 new products) with fair functional-group tolerance on the aniline ring. Detection of metal-associated intermediate by gas chromatography (GC) and HRMS, H2 detection by GC, and kinetic isotope effect reveal the mechanism of this CoCl2-catalyzed reaction to be via ADC. Furthermore, kinetic experiments and Hammett analysis with variation in the nature of substituents over the aniline ring reveal the insight into the reaction mechanism with different substituents.

Abstract
We present a simple method for increasing the reprocessability of vinylogous urethane (VU) vitrimers while decreasing the possibility of creep deformation at lower temperatures. In particular, varying amounts of triethylenetetramine were added as a comonomer to the curing VU formulation to ensure that all of the primary amines reacted to form enaminone cross-links, resulting in a network without reactive primary amine chain-ends. As a result, transamination was significantly slowed down because secondary amines are much less reactive to VU exchange. On the other hand, at higher temperatures, pendent primary amines can be released via a dynamic, endothermic exchange with a nearby less-reactive secondary amine, thereby (re)activating material flow. As a result, ambivalent viscoelastic behavior could be achieved without depolymerization by dynamically releasing pendent primary amines from vinylogous urethane polymer chains. Through careful comonomer selection, VU vitrimers with low viscosity at processing temperatures and at the same time high viscosity at service temperatures could be prepared without the use of catalysts or additives, leveraging the synergistic effects of mildly reactive functionalities through neighboring group participation.

Abstract
Understanding the emergence of function in complex reaction networks is a primary goal of systems chemistry and origin-of-life studies. Especially challenging is to create systems that simultaneously exhibit several emergent functions that can be independently tuned. In this work, a multifunctional complex reaction network of nucleophilic small molecule catalysts for the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction is demonstrated. The dynamic system exhibited triggered self-resolution, preferentially amplifying a specific catalyst/product set out of a many potential alternatives. By utilizing selective reversibility of the products of the reaction set, systemic thermodynamically driven error-correction could also be introduced. To achieve this, a dynamic covalent MBH reaction based on adducts with internal H-transfer capabilities was developed. By careful tuning of the substituents, rate accelerations of retro-MBH reactions of up to four orders of magnitude could be obtained. This study thus demonstrates how efficient self-sorting of catalytic systems can be achieved through an interplay of several complex emergent functionalities.

Abstract
Optimizing C=N bond formation and C/N component exchange has major significance in Dynamic Covalent Chemistry (DCC). Imine and hydrazone generation from their aldehyde, amine and hydrazine components showed large accelerations in presence of AgOTf or Zn(OTf)2 , up to 104 for the Zn(II)-(p-anisidine)imine complex. Zn(OTf)2 and auxiliary p-anisidine together accelerated 630 times the formation of the Zn(II)-hydrazone complex, revealing a strong synergistic effect, traced to very fast initial formation of the reactive Zn(II)-imine complex presenting a C=N bond metallo-activated towards reaction with the hydrazine component. Reactions involving more entities showed kinetically faster and thermodynamically simpler outputs due to dynamic competition within a mixture of higher complexity. Catalytic amounts of metal salts and auxiliary amine gave similar marked rate accelerations and turnover, indicating true catalysis. The synergistic effect achieved by combining metallo- and organo-catalysis points to a powerful co-catalysis strategy of bond-formation in DCC through interconnected chemical transformations.

Abstract
Three imine-based metal complexes, having no overlap in terms of their compositions, have been simultaneously generated from the self-sorting of a constitutional dynamic library (CDL) containing three amines, three aldehydes, and three metal salts. The hierarchical ordering of the stability of the three metal complexes assembled and the leveraging of the antagonistic and agonistic relationships existing between the constituents within the constitutional dynamic network corresponding to the CDL were pivotal in achieving the sorting. Examination of the process by NMR spectroscopy showed that the self-sorting of the FeII and ZnII complexes depended on an interplay between the thermodynamic driving forces and a kinetic trap involved in their assembly. These results also exemplify the concept of "simplexity"-the fact that the output of a self-assembling system may be simplified by increasing its initial compositional complexity-as the two complexes could self-sort only in the presence of the third pair of organic components, those of the CuI complex.

Abstract
The imine bond holds a prominent place in supramolecular chemistry and materials science, and one issue is the stability of imines due to their electrophilic nature. Here we introduced ortho-carboxylate groups into a series of aromatic aldehydes/imines for dictating imine dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) through n → π* interactions, one class of widespread and yet underused non-covalent interactions. The thermodynamically stabilizing role of carboxylate-aldehyde/imine n → π* interactions in acetonitrile was elucidated by the movement of the imine exchange equilibrium and further supported by crystal analysis. Computational studies provided mechanistic insights for n → π* interactions, the strength of which can surpass that of CH hydrogen bonding and is dependent on the orientation of interacting sites based on natural bond orbital analysis. Moreover, the substituent effect and the combination of recognition sites allowed additional means for modulation. Finally, to show the relevance of our findings ortho-carboxylate containing aldehydes were used to regulate imine formation/exchange in water, and modification of the N-terminus of amino acids and peptides was achieved in a neutral buffer. This work represents the latest example of weak interactions governing DCC and sets the stage for assembly and application studies.

Abstract
A major hurdle in the development of complex constitutional dynamic networks (CDNs) is the lack of strategies to simultaneously control the output of two (or more) interconnected dynamic processes over several species, namely reversible covalent imine bond formation and dynamic metal-ligand coordination. We have studied in detail the self-sorting process of 11 constitutional dynamic libraries containing two different amines, aldehydes and metal salts into two imine-based metal complexes, having no overlap in terms of their compositions. This study allowed us to determine the factors influencing the fidelity of this process (concentration, electronic and steric parameters of the organic components, and nature of the metal cations). In all 11 systems, the outcome of the process was primarily determined by the ability of the octahedral metal ion to select its pair of components from the initial pool of components, with the composition of the weaker tetrahedral complex being imposed by the components rejected by the octahedral metal ions. Different octahedral metal ions required different levels of precision in the "assembling instructions" provided by the organic components of the CDN to guide it towards a sorted output. The concentration of the reaction mixture, and the electronic and steric properties of the initial components of the library were all found to influence the lifetime of unwanted metastable intermediates formed during the assembling of the two complexes.

Abstract
Many approaches to the origin of life focus on how the molecules found in biology might be made in the absence of biological processes, from the simplest plausible starting materials. Another approach could be to view the emergence of the chemistry of biology as process whereby the environment effectively directs "primordial soups" toward structure, function, and genetic systems over time. This does not require the molecules found in biology today to be made initially, and leads to the hypothesis that environment can direct chemical soups toward order, and eventually living systems. Herein, we show how unconstrained condensation reactions can be steered by changes in the reaction environment, such as order of reactant addition, and addition of salts or minerals. Using omics techniques to survey the resulting chemical ensembles we demonstrate there are distinct, significant, and reproducible differences between the product mixtures. Furthermore, we observe that these differences in composition have consequences, manifested in clearly different structural and functional properties. We demonstrate that simple variations in environmental parameters lead to differentiation of distinct chemical ensembles from both amino acid mixtures and a primordial soup model. We show that the synthetic complexity emerging from such unconstrained reactions is not as intractable as often suggested, when viewed through a chemically agnostic lens. An open approach to complexity can generate compositional, structural, and functional diversity from fixed sets of simple starting materials, suggesting that differentiation of chemical ensembles can occur in the wider environment without the need for biological machinery.

Abstract
Achieving complexity is central to the creation of chemical systems, inspired by natural systems. Herein we introduce a strategy of switchable orthogonal dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) toward the regulation of complex dynamic networks. The control of dual reactivity of tautomers and resulting pathways allowed reversible covalent bonding of a large scope of primary amines, secondary amines, alcohols, and thiols with high efficiency. The selection of reaction pathways next enabled the realization of orthogonal but switchable dynamic covalent reactions (DCRs) with nucleophile pairs of amine/alcohol, alcohol/thiol, and amine/thiol by varying protonation and oxidation states. Control experiments confirmed the crucial role of dual reactivity on the stability and switchability of DCRs. The specificity toward amines, alcohols, and thiols, as well as interconversion between their corresponding assemblies, was further accomplished in one vessel, thus creating tunable communicating networks with three types of DCRs. Moreover, the switchable orthogonality combined with differential reactivity of multiple sulfonamides and nucleophiles enhanced the complexity within dynamic libraries. The generality and versatility of our approaches should facilitate their incorporation into many aspects of chemistry endeavors.

Abstract
Manipulating nanoscopic objects by external stimuli is the cornerstone of nanoscience. Here, we report the implementation of dynamic covalent chemistry in the reversible binding and directional motion of fluorescent nanodiamond particles at a functionalized graphene surface via imine linkages. The dynamic connections allow for controlling the formation and rupture of these linkages by external stimuli. By introduction of pH gradients, the nanoparticles are driven to move along the gradient due to the different rates of the imine condensation and hydrolysis in the two environments. The multivalent nature of the particle-to-surface connection ensures that particles remain attached to the surface, whereas its dynamic character allows for exchange reaction, thus leading to displacement yet bound behavior in two-dimensional space. These results open a pathway for thermodynamically controlled manipulation of objects on the nanoscale.

Abstract
Koneramines (LR OR', R=Ph or Ts; R'=Me, iPr) and their complexes were found to emerge from the system of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and N-phenyl/tosylethylenediamine when a primary or secondary alcohol was used as solvent. Imidazolidinylpyridines (LR , R=Ph or Ts) became major emergents whereas hemi-aminals (LR OH, R=Ph or Ts) are minor emergents of the system when tertiary butanol was used as the solvent; the bulky tertiary butyl group prevented the addition of alcohol to the iminium ion that diverted the equilibrium towards imidazolidinylpyridines. By playing with the components of the reaction mixture, crystals of the metastable intermediates bound to copper(II) and/or zinc(II) were obtained and the structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The reported results shed light on how to control the emergents of the multicomponent reaction mixture that forms koneramines. Reactivity studies of the intermediates pave the way for a new type of koneramine complexes that are new dipicolylamines where the two pyridine moieties of the resulting koneramine are not the same.

Abstract
The ability to design reaction networks with high, but addressable complexity is a necessary prerequisite to make advanced functional chemical systems. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry has proven to be a useful tool in achieving complexity, however with some limitations in controlling it. Herein we introduce the concept of antiparallel chemistries, in which the same functional group can be channeled into one of two reversible chemistries depending on a controllable parameter. Such systems allow both for achieving complexity, by combinatorial chemistry, and addressing it, by switching from one chemistry to another by controlling an external parameter. In our design the two antiparallel chemistries are thiol-disulfide exchange and thio-Michael addition, sharing the thiol as the common building block. By means of oxidation and reduction the system can be reversibly switched from predominantly thio-Michael chemistry to predominantly disulfide chemistry, as well as to any intermediate state. Both chemistries operate in water, at room temperature, and at mildly basic pH, which makes them a suitable platform for further development of systems chemistry.

Abstract
Coevolution can be defined as the correlated changes of structurally and/or functionally connected entities. Dynamic Covalent Libraries (DCLs) have been used to demonstrate coevolution and ratiometric behaviour on a molecular level using dynamic covalent molecules such as imines and hydrazones.
Dynamic Covalent Libraries (DCLs) have been used to demonstrate coevolution behaviour on a molecular level using dynamic covalent molecules such as imines and hydrazones. Two systems are presented: the first system is based on a dialdehyde and two diamines in combination with Zn(ii) and Hg(ii) to form a 2 × 2 Constitutional Dynamic Network (CDN) of four complexes of macrocyclic bis-imines. Whereas the two metal ions, when reacted separately form a complex with each macrocycle with low selectivity, when applied together, each cation yields selectively a complex with one of the two macrocycles. Thus, the simultaneous application of both cations, where one might have expected the formation of four different complexes, results in the synergistic evolution (co-evolution) towards a simpler, more selective outcome under agonist amplification. The second system of 4 components, 2 amines and 2 aldehydes displays metalloselection together with a correlated evolution in distribution on complexation of Zn(ii) and Cu(i) with the dynamic ligand constituents and exhibits a dynamic ratiometry process related to the antagonistic behaviour of a pair of ligand constituents.
