Abstract
The tunability of chromatic phases adapted by chromogenic polymers such as polydiacetylene (PDA) is key to their utility for robust sensing applications. Here, we investigated the influence of charged peptide interactions on the structure-dependent thermochromicity of amphiphilic PDAs. Solid-state NMR and circular dichroism analyses show that our oppositely charged peptide-PDA samples have distinct degrees of structural order, with the coassembled sample being in between the β-sheet-like positive peptide-PDA and the relatively disordered negative peptide-PDA. All solutions exhibit thermochromicity between 20 and 80 °C, whereby the hysteresis of the blue, planar phase is much larger than that of the red, twisted phase. Resonance Raman spectroscopy of films demonstrates that only coassemblies with electrostatic complementarity stabilize coexisting blue and red PDA phases. This work reveals the nature of the structural changes responsible for the thermally responsive chromatic transitions of biomolecule-functionalized polymeric materials and how this process can be directed by sequence-dictated electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
Precision control via molecular structure over adaptive conjugated polymer properties in aqueous environments is critical for realizing their biomedical applications. Here, we unravel the dependence of amphiphilic peptide-polydiacetylene (PDA) conjugate properties on the characteristic steric and hydrophobic contributions within peptide segments that serve as a biomimetic template for diacetylene polymerization in water. We investigated the functional impacts of molecular volume and polarity changes brought by dipeptide substitution domains on the following peptide-PDA material properties at multiple length scales: supramolecular assembly behavior, chain conformation-dependent photophysical properties, cell-material interfacing, and for the first time, bulk electrical properties of their films processed in water. A library of peptide-PDAs with systematically varied sequences show that the contributions of steric effects predominantly influence the electronic structure and resulting trends in photophysical properties, while the interplay between size and hydrophobicity of individual residues becomes more significant for higher-order assemblies affecting bulk properties. This work demonstrates sequence-tunable molecular volume and polarity as synthetic handles to rationally modulate PDA material properties across length scales, providing insights into the programmability of biomimetic conjugated polymers with adaptive functionalities.

Abstract
Singlet fission (SF) is an intriguing process in which a singlet exciton produces two triplet excitons in molecular aggregates. Perylenediimide (PDI) derivatives are promising materials for SF-based photovoltaics, and the SF process in PDI aggregates is important to investigate for their applications. In this work, we studied the entire SF process occurring in the colloidal nanoparticles of a PDI derivative in solutions by using time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption (TA) experiments. PE-PDI was found to form the colloidal nanoparticles of H- and J-aggregates in polar solvents. The TA signals of PE-PDI aggregates in solutions were selectively measured by wavelength-dependent excitation. The TA signals were analyzed by using a global fitting analysis, and all kinetic parameters involved in the entire SF process were determined. Our current investigation has confirmed that fast SF occurs on the surface of the colloidal nanoparticles of PDI aggregates via the charge transfer mediated mechanism, giving a high quantum yield of triplet excitons.

Abstract
Wide-dose-range 2D radiochromic films for radiotherapy, such as GAFchromic EBT, are based on the lithium salt of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (Li-PCDA) as the photosensitive component. We show that there are two solid forms of Li-PCDA-a monohydrated form A and an anhydrous form B. The form used in commercial GAFchromic films is form A due to its short needle-shaped crystals, which provide favorable coating properties. Form B provides an enhanced photoresponse compared to that of form A, but adopts a long needle crystal morphology, which is difficult to process. The two forms were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, CP-MAS 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. In sum, these data suggest a chelating bridging bidentate coordination mode for the lithium ions. The sodium salt of PCDA (Na-PCDA) is also reported, which is an ionic cocrystal with a formula of Na+PCDA-·3PCDA. The PCDA and PCDA- ligands display monodentate and bridging bidentate coordination to the sodium ion in contrast to the coordination sphere of the Li-PCDA forms. In contrast to its lithium analogues, Na-PCDA is photostable.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a dynamic process that often takes place through a stepwise pathway involving formation of kinetically favored metastable intermediates prior to generation of a thermodynamically preferred supramolecular framework. Although trapping intermediates in these pathways can provide significant information about both their nature and the overall self-assembly process, it is a challenging venture without altering temperature, concentrations, chemical compositions and morphologies. Herein, we report a highly efficient and potentially general method for "trapping" metastable intermediates in self-assembly processes that is based on a photopolymerization strategy. By employing a chiral perylene-diimide possessing a diacetylene containing an alkyl chain, we demonstrated that the metastable intermediates, including nanoribbons, nanocoils and nanohelices, can be effectively trapped by using UV promoted polymerization before they form thermodynamic tubular structures. The strategy developed in this study should be applicable to naturally and synthetically abundant alkyl chain containing self-assembling systems.

Abstract
Herein, a novel supramolecular gel was fabricated through the bi-component co-assembly strategy of commercially available 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and laboratory-synthesized amphiphilic co-gelator N-(2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl)stearamide (IMSA), which contains one imidazole head group and a long alkyl chain tail, by synergetic noncovalent interactions. Upon irradiation of normal 254 nm UV light, blue polydiacetylene (PDA) could be obtained by topo-polymerization of the PCDA monomers in the gel phase. This PDA-based supramolecular gel is able to respond to various environmental stimuli and shows a blue-to-red chromatic transition, which could be observed by the naked eye. Specifically, upon exposure to heat, pH, metal cation and organic solvent stimuli, the PDA gel displays thermochromism, halochromism, ionochromism and solvatochromism, respectively. More interestingly, the differences of the above-mentioned stimuli-induced color transition of the blue PDA supramolecular gels could be characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectra and Raman spectra, therefore illuminating a bright application prospect in the area of chemosensing.
