Abstract
Chemical fuel-driven supramolecular systems have been developed showing out-of-equilibrium functions such as transient gelation and oscillations. However, these systems suffer from undesired waste accumulation and they function only in open systems. Herein, we report non-equilibrium supramolecular polymerizations in a closed system, which is built by viologens and pyranine in the presence of hydrazine hydrate. On shaking, the viologens are quickly oxidated by air followed by self-assembly of pyranine into micrometer-sized nanotubes. The self-assembled nanotubes disassemble spontaneously over time by the reduced agent, with nitrogen as the only waste product. Our mechanosensitive dissipative system can be extended to fabricate a chiral transient supramolecular helix by introducing chiral-charged small molecules. Moreover, we show that shaking induces transient fluorescence enhancement or quenching depending on substitution of viologens. Ultrasound is introduced as a specific shaking way to generate template-free reproducible patterns. Additionally, the shake-driven transient polymerization of amphiphilic naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide serves as further evidence of the versatility of our mechanosensitive non-equilibrium system.

Abstract
Much effort has been devoted to the development of supramolecular hydrogels due to their broad applications and conveniently controllable properties. Here, we demonstrate a novel supramolecular host-guest hydrogel, which is constructed by the host γ-CD complexed with the guest 1-(4-carboxybenzyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium chloride (1+·Cl-) through the π···π interaction, hydrogen bonding, and host-guest interactions. The supramolecular hydrogel [1+@γ-CD]n exhibits reversible electron transfer photochromic behavior and photomodulable fluorescence. The excellent photochromic and fluorescence properties support the practical utility of the supramolecular hydrogel as a visual display and anti-counterfeiting material.

Abstract
G-Quadruplexes attract growing interest as functional constituents in biology, chemistry, nanotechnology, and material science. In particular, the reversible dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes provides versatile means to switch DNA nanostructures, reversibly control catalytic functions of DNA assemblies, and switch material properties and functions. The present review article discusses the switchable dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes as central functional and structural motifs that enable diverse applications in DNA nanotechnology and material science. The dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes has a major impact on the development of DNA switches and DNA machines. The integration of G-quadruplexes with enzymes yields supramolecular assemblies exhibiting switchable catalytic functions guided by dynamic G-quadruplex topologies. In addition, G-quadruplexes act as important building blocks to operate constitutional dynamic networks and transient dissipative networks mimicking complex biological dynamic circuitries. Furthermore, the integration of G-quadruplexes with DNA nanostructures, such as origami tiles, introduces dynamic and mechanical features into these static frameworks. Beyond the dynamic operation of G-quadruplex structures in solution, the assembly of G-quadruplexes on bulk surfaces such as electrodes or nanoparticles provides versatile means to engineer diverse electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices and to switch the dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of nanoparticles, leading to nanoparticle assemblies that reveal switchable optical properties. Finally, the functionalization of hydrogels, hydrogel microcapsules, or nanoparticle carriers, such as SiO2 nanoparticles or metal-organic framework nanoparticles, yields stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting shape-memory, self-healing, and controlled drug release properties. Indeed, G-quadruplex-modified nanomaterials find growing interest in the area of nanomedicine. Beyond the impressive G-quadruplex-based scientific advances achieved to date, exciting future developments are still anticipated. The review addresses these goals by identifying the potential opportunities and challenges ahead of the field in the coming years.

Abstract
Ditopic bis-(triazole/pyridine)viologens are bidentate ligands that self-assemble into coordination polymers. In such photo-responsive materials, light irradiation initiates photo-induced electron transfer to generate π-radicals that can self-associate to form π-dimers. This leads to a cascade of events: processes at the supramolecular scale associated with mechanical and structural transition at the macroscopic scale. By tuning the irradiation power and duration, we evidence the formation of aggregates and gels. Using microscopy, we show that the aggregates are dense, polydisperse, micron-sized, spindle-shaped particles which grow in time. Using microscopy and time-resolved micro-rheology, we follow the gelation kinetics which leads to a gel characterized by a correlation length of a few microns and a weak elastic modulus. The analysis of the aggregates and the gel states vouch for an arrested phase separation process, a new scenario to supramolecular systems.

Abstract
Recently, metal-coordinated orthogonal self-assembly has been used as a feasible and efficient method in the construction of polymeric materials, which can also provide supramolecular self-assembly complexes with different topologies. Herein, a cryptand with a rigid pyridyl group on the third arm derived from BMP32C10 was synthesized. Through coordination-driven self-assembly with a bidentate organoplatinum(II) acceptor or tetradentate Pd(BF4)2•4CH3CN, a di-cryptand complex and tetra-cryptand complex were prepared, respectively. Subsequently, through the addition of a di-paraquat guest, linear and cross-linked supramolecular polymers were constructed through orthogonal self-assembly, respectively. By comparing their proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) spectra, it was found that the degrees of polymerization were dependent not only on the concentrations of the monomers but also on the topologies of the supramolecular polymers.

Abstract
Understanding the role of non-covalent interactions that dictate and fine-tune the direction of self-assembly of functional molecules is crucial for developing stimuli responsive materials. Herein, we systematically designed and synthesized viologen derivatives with hydrophobic dodecyl chains and alkyl carboxylic acid functionalities. The complementary electronic and electrostatic counterpart of viologens was chosen as pyranine. Viologens comprising of a hydrophobic dodecyl chain on one terminal and hydrogen bonding alkyl carboxylic acid on the other (V1 and V2) underwent aggregation to a varying extent upon interaction with pyranine. The length of the alkyl carboxylic acid had a greater impact on the nature and morphology of the aggregates. Control molecules (V3 and V4) in which 4,4'-bipyridine was symmetrically quaternized with alkyl carboxylic acids did not aggregate upon interaction with pyranine. The delicate balance existing between the hydrophobicity of the dodecyl chains and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between the alkyl carboxylic acid groups in V1 or V2 of the corresponding charge transfer (CT) complexes was instrumental in driving the aggregation. The CT aggregates of [V1-Pyr] and [V2-Pyr] exhibited excellent stability in water which disaggregated at physiological pH. We emphasize on the importance of synergy between hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions in reinforcing each other to drive the supramolecular aggregation of the CT complexes. Such pH dependent CT aggregates are of importance as scaffolds in pH controlled drug release. In the present study, the CT aggregates were evaluated for adenosine nucleotide recognition in water; [V1-Pyr] and [V2-Pyr] exhibited selective response towards adenosine monophosphate via deprotonation induced dissolution of aggregates in water leading to emission enhancement.

Abstract
A two-component charge transfer (CT) hydrogel has been derived from a supramolecular heteroassembly of a pyrene amino acid conjugate (PyHisOH, donor) with a 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Ox, acceptor) derivative in aqueous medium. The mechanical stiffness, as well as the thermal stability of the CT hydrogels largely depend on the relative ratios of donor and acceptor units as well as on their overall concentration. Moreover, the gel-to-sol transition is found to be susceptible to various external stimuli such as heat, pH, metal ions, etc. Circular dichroism and morphological investigation reveal the formation of left-handed helical fibers in the CT gel network. XRD studies show the lamellar packing of the interactive units in the 3D network of the CT hydrogel. The determination of different rheological parameters confirms the viscoelastic as well as the thixotropic nature of the CT gel. Furthermore, the CT gel is employed for turn-on sensing of biogenic thiols, cyan fluorescence was observed with cysteine/homocysteine, while blue fluorescence with glutathione. Nucleophilic attack at the NBD moiety leads to the formation of thermodynamically stable amino-linked derivatives for cysteine or homocysteine and kinetically controlled thiol-linked adduct for glutathione. Thus, the current system presents a unique opportunity, where a CT hydrogel sample is involved for discriminating biogenic thiols via specific chemodosimetric interactions.

Abstract
This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins as functional stimuli-responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with controlled stiffness. Different physical or chemical triggers can be used to structurally reconfigure the crosslinking units and control the stiffness of the hydrogels. The integration of stimuli-responsive supramolecular complexes and stimuli-responsive biomolecular units as crosslinkers leads to hybrid hydrogels undergoing reversible triggered transitions across different stiffness states. Different applications of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogels are discussed. The assembly of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogel films on surfaces and their applications are discussed. The coating of drug-loaded nanoparticles with stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug release is also presented.

Abstract
The inhibition of self-discharge in a redox-enhanced electrochemical capacitor (Redox-EC) is crucial for excellent energy retention. Heptyl viologen dibromide (HVBr2) was chosen as a strong candidate of a dual-redox species in Redox-EC due to its solid complexations during the charging process, at which HV2+ is electrochemically reduced to HV+• and form a solid complex, [HV+•·Br-], on an anode while Br- is electro-oxidized to Br3- and renders [HV2+·2Br3-] on a cathode. The solid complexes could not transfer across the separator, resulting in significant diminution of the self-discharge. In this Article, we present detailed electrochemical studies of formation of [HV2+·2Br3-] and [HV+•·Br-], their redox features, and galvanic exchange reactions between the two types of dual-redox ionic solids on a Pt ultra-microelectrode (UME) in neutral (0.33 M Na2SO4) and acidic (1 M H2SO4) solutions. Most importantly, through voltammetric and particle-impact electrochemical analyses, we found that the redox and galvanic exchange reactions of the two dual-redox ionic solid complexes involve H+ transfer, which is the key process to limit the overall kinetics of the electrochemical reactions. We also rationalize the proton-accompanied galvanic exchange reaction based on computational simulation.

Abstract
The excited-state proton-transfer efficiency of a tetraarylpyrene derivative, 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl)pyrene (TDMPP), was investigated thoroughly in the presence of various surfactant assemblies, such as micelles and vesicles. The confined microheterogeneous environments can significantly retard the extent of the excited-state proton-transfer process, resulting in a distinguishable optical signal compared to that in the bulk medium. Physical characteristics of the surfactant assemblies, such as order, interfacial hydration, and surface charge, influence the proton transfer process and allow multiparametric sensing. A higher degree of interfacial hydration facilitates the proton-transfer process, while the positively charged head groups of the surfactants specifically stabilize the anionic form of the probe (TDMPP-O*). Furthermore, Forster energy transfer from the probe to riboflavin was studied in a phospholipid membrane, wherein the relative ratio of the neutral versus anionic forms (TDMPP-OH/TDMPP-O*) was found to influence the extent of energy transfer. Overall, we demonstrate how an ultrafast photophysical process, that is, the excited-state proton transfer, can be influenced by the microenvironment.

Abstract
An iron-responsive optical probe has been developed for simultaneous sensing of both ferritin and apoferritin proteins at pH 7.4 in water. The compound showed an exclusive response (turn-off signal) towards ferritin among a wide range of proteins even at nanomolar concentration. In contrast, apoferritin dissociates the preformed iron complex and revives the green colored fluorescence of the native probe (turn-on signal). Subsequently, various parameters associated with the serum iron level are evaluated, which are beneficial for clinical diagnosis of many iron-related diseases, including anemia. Estimation of iron was achieved in a wide range of edible plant materials as well as pharmaceutical formulations. Subsequently, different kinds of natural water samples were screened for quantification of soluble iron contents. In addition to traditional spectroscopic tools, dye-coated paper strips were developed as an alternative strategy for onsite 'instrument-free' detection of iron. Highly specific bioimaging of Fe3+ was achieved in cervical cancer cells (HeLa).

Abstract
Photoresponsive nucleic acid-based carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogels are synthesized, and their application as shape-memory and self-healing functional matrices are discussed. One system involves the preparation of a carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel crosslinked by self-complementary nucleic acid duplexes and by photoresponsive trans-azobenzene/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) supramolecular complexes. Photoisomerization of the trans-azobenzene to the cis-azobenzene results in a hydrogel exhibiting lower stiffness due to the separation of the azobenzene/β-CD bridging units. The hydrogel is switched between high and low stiffness states by the cyclic and reversible light-induced isomerization of the azobenzene units between the trans and cis states. The light-controlled stiffness properties of the hydrogel are used to develop a shape-memory hydrogel, where the duplex bridging units act as permanent memory in the quasi-liquid shapeless state of the hydrogel. A second system in the study is a carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel crosslinked by the K+-stabilized G-quadruplex bridging units and by trans-azobenzene/β-CD complexes. The resulting hydrogel includes dual-trigger functionalities, where the trans-azobenzene/β-CD complexes can be reversibly formed and dissociated through the trans and cis photoisomerization of the azobenzene units, and the K+-stabilized G-quadruplexes can be reversibly dissociated and reformed in the presence of 18-crown-6-ether/K+-ions. The signal-responsive crosslinked hydrogel reveals controlled stiffness properties, where the hydrogel crosslinked by the trans-azobenzene/β-CD and K+-ion-stabilized G-quadruplex reveals high stiffness and the hydrogel crosslinked only by the K+-ion-stabilized G-quadruplexes or only by the trans-azobenzene/β-CD complexes reveals low stiffness properties. The controlled stiffness properties of the hydrogel are used to develop shape-memory hydrogels, where the trans-azobenzene/β-CD complexes or the K+-ion-stabilized G-quadruplexes act as permanent memories in the shapeless and quasi-liquid states of the hydrogels. In addition, the hydrogel that includes two types of stimuli-responsive crosslinking units is used as a self-healing matrix, where each of the triggers guides the self-healing processes.

Abstract
The bulk solution properties of amphiphilic formulations are derivative of their self-assembly into higher ordered supramolecular assemblies known as micelles and of their ordering at the air-water interface. Exerting control over the surface-active properties of amphiphiles and their propensity to aggregate in pure water is most often fine-tuned by covalent modification of their molecular structure. Nevertheless structural constraints which limit the performance of amphiphiles do emerge when trying to develop more sophisticated systems which undergo for example, shape-defined controlled assembly and/or respond to external stimuli. In this regard, the template-modulated assembly of the so-called "supramolecular amphiphiles" continues to make progress ordering molecules that otherwise have very little to no driving force to aggregate in a prescribed manner in aqueous solutions. Herein we describe the template-modulated micellization and ordering at the air-water interface of bipyridinium-based supramolecular amphiphiles triggered by host-guest interactions with high specificity for the neurotransmitter melatonin over its biosynthetic synthon l-tryptophan and the thermodynamic parameters governing the template-modulated micellization process. When bound to the bipyridinium units of micellized surfactant molecules, melatonin effectively serves as "molecular glue" capable of lowering the CMC by 52% as compared to untemplated solutions. Analysis of this system suggests that a hallmark of donor-acceptor template-modulated micellization in water is a strong positively correlated temperature dependence of the CMC and the absence of a U-shaped CMC-temperature curve. Our findings make a case for the incorporation of l-tryptophan-based metabolites and their classical synthetic pharmaceutical bioisosteres as potential targets/components of donor-acceptor CT-based supramolecular amphiphile systems/materials operating in water.
