Abstract
BACKGROUND The construction of gels from low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) has been extensively studied in the fields of bio-nanotechnology and other fields. However, the understanding gaps still prevent the prediction of LMWG from the full design of those gel systems. Gels with multicomponent become even more complicated because of the multiple interference effects coexist in the composite gel systems. AIM OF REVIEW This review emphasizes systems view on the understanding of multicomponent low molecular weight gels (MLMWGs), and summarizes recent progress on the construction of desired networks of MLMWGs, including self-sorting and co-assembly, as well as the challenges and approaches to understanding MLMWGs, with the hope that the opportunities from natural products and peptides can speed up the understanding process and close the gaps between the design and prediction of structures. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW This review is focused on three key concepts. Firstly, understanding the complicated multicomponent gels systems requires a systems perspective on MLMWGs. Secondly, several protocols can be applied to control self-sorting and co-assembly behaviors in those multicomponent gels system, including the certain complementary structures, chirality inducing and dynamic control. Thirdly, the discussion is anchored in challenges and strategies of understanding MLMWGs, and some examples are provided for the understanding of multicomponent gels constructed from small natural products and subtle designed short peptides.

Abstract
The carrier-free self-assembly of small molecules opens a new window for the development of nanomaterials. This study is dedicated to developing binary small-molecular self-assemblies derived from phytochemicals in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Among them, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma are a common pair used in clinics for thousands of years. Here, we found that there were numerous spherical supramolecular nanoparticles (NPs) originated from Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma decoction. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the composition of the supramolecules, and a total of 119 phytochemicals were identified (23 anthraquinones, 31 alkaloids, 24 organic acids, 8 tannins, and other components). Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) showed that the interaction between Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma was a spontaneous exothermic reaction, indicating that their phytochemicals had the property of self-assembly and interacted to form supramolecules in the decocting process. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV, IR, NMR, and ITC were used to verify that rhein and coptisine could self-assemble into nanofibers (Rhe-Cop NFs), while emodin and coptisine could self-assemble into nanoparticles (Emo-Cop NPs). The formation mechanism analysis of the self-assemblies revealed that they were induced by electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, and π-π stacking, forming nanospheres of about 50 nm and nanofibers. The current study not only provides an idea of discovering carrier-free self-assemblies from traditional herbal medicine decoction but also supplies a reference for the design of binary self-assembly of small molecules in the future.

Abstract
To exploit polyoxometalate (POM)-based metal-organic complexes (MOCs) with outstanding electro- and photo-chemical performances, two new bis-amide derivative N-donor ligands featuring a 'V'-like connector, 4,4'-bis(3-pyridinecarboxamide)phenylmethane (L1) and 4,4'-bis(3-pyridinecarboxamide)phenylketone (L2), were designed and reacted with Anderson-type POMs in the presence of Co(II) ions under solvothermal conditions, which generated four MOCs: [Co2(L1)2(AlMo6H5O24)]·4H2O (1), [Co2(HL1)2(H2O)6(TeMo6O24)]·2H2O (2), [Co2(HL2)2(H2O)4[AlMo6H6O24]2]·5H2O (3), and [Co2(HL2)2(H2O)6(TeMo6O24)]·2H2O (4). All the complexes showed supramolecular structures via hydrogen bond interaction, which resulted from the 2D layers for 1, the satellite-like structural units for 2 and 4, but the 1D chains for 3. In these structures, the POMs and organic ligands exhibited different coordination modes. Both 2 and 4 showed efficient ampere sensing activities for Cr(VI) with lower limits of detection of 0.029 and 0.038 μM, respectively. Complexes 1 and 2 showed good visible-light catalytic behavior toward the reduction of Cr(VI), which offers more chances for developing electrochemical sensors and photocatalysts for Cr(VI).

Abstract
Noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs) with excellent catalytic activity and stability play an important role in the field of environmental governance. A uniform distribution and a strong binding force with the carriers of the noble metal nanoparticles are important, but avoidance of the use of additional reducing agents is a promising direction of research. Herein, 2D ultrathin surfactant-encapsulating polyoxometalate (SEP) nanosheets constructed by the self-assembly of dodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODA) and molybdophosphate (H3PMo12O40, PMo12) are designed to be versatile carriers for Ag nanoparticles. Under the synergistic effect of the well-arranged PMo12 units, encapsulating hydrophobic oleic acid (OA) and reductive molybdophosphate under Xe lamp irradiation, the silver oleate (AgOA)-derived Ag nanoparticles (5 ± 2 nm) are monodispersed on the DODA-PMo12 assemblies and form the Agx/DODA-PMo12 composite. The optimized Ag4.89/DODA-PMo12 composite exhibits high catalytic activity and stability in the degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), which reaches a superior rate constant of 6.49 × 10-3 s-1 and without significant deterioration after three recycles. This technique can be facilely promoted to other noble metal nanoparticles with excellent catalytic activity and stability.

Abstract
A new series of bisteroidal esters was synthesized using a spacer group, sterols and sapogenins as substrates. Steroidal dimers were prepared in high yields employing diesters of terephthalic acid as linkages at the 3β, 3'β steroidal positions. In all attempts to crystallize bisteroids, it was observed that the compounds tended to self-organize in solution, which was detected when employing various solvent systems. The non-covalent interactions (van der Waals) of the steroidal moieties of this series of symmetrical bisteroids, the polarity of the solvents systems, and the different solubilities of the bisteroid aggregates, indeed induce the molecules to self-assemble into supramolecular structures with well-defined organization. Our results show that the self-assembled structures for the bisteroidal derivatives depend on the solvent system used: with hexane/EtOAc, membrane-shaped structures were obtained, while pure EtOAc afforded strand-shaped arrangements. In the CHCl3/CH3OH system, thin strands were formed, since van der Waals interactions are lowered in this system, as a consequence of the increased solubility of the bisteroids in CHCl3. Based on the characterization by SEM and XRD, we show evidence that the phenomenon of self-assembly of bisteroids occurs presenting different morphologies depending on the solvent used. The new steroidal dimer derivatives were characterized by NMR, TGA, DSC, SEM, and XRD. Finally, the molecular structure of one bisteroid was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) represent an important group of metal-oxo nanoclusters, typically comprised of early transition metals in high oxidation states (mainly V, Mo and W). Many plenary POMs exhibit good pH, solvent, thermal and redox stability, which makes them attractive components for the design of covalently integrated hybrid organic-inorganic molecules, herein referred to as hybrid-POMs. Until now, thousands of organic hybrid-POMs have been reported; however, only a small fraction can be further functionalized using other organic molecules or metal cations. This emerging class of 'post-functionalizable' hybrid-POMs constitute a valuable modular platform that permits coupling of POM properties with different organic and metal cation functionalities, thereby expanding the key physicochemical properties that are relevant for application in (photo)catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry and materials science. The post-functionalizable hybrid-POM platforms offer an opportunity to covalently link multi-electron redox responsive POM cores with virtually any (bio)organic molecule or metal cation, generating a wide range of materials with tailored properties. Over the past few years, these materials have been showcased in the preparation of framework materials, functional surfaces, surfactants, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and light harvesting materials, among others. This review article provides an overview on the state of the art in POM post-functionalization and highlights the key design and structural features that permit the discovery of new hybrid-POM platforms. In doing so, we aim to make the subject more comprehensible, both for chemists and for scientists with different materials science backgrounds interested in the applications of hybrid (POM) materials. The review article goes beyond the realms of polyoxometalate chemistry and encompasses emerging research domains such as reticular materials, surfactants, surface functionalization, light harvesting materials, non-linear optics, charge storing materials, and homogeneous acid-base catalysis among others.

Abstract
By appropriate substitution, polyoxometalates (POMs) can be modified to be organic-inorganic supramolecules (OISMs) that are nonaqueous or water soluble and form aggregates in solution. Here, we report a new OISM, (TBA)3POM-PPCT, that can self-assemble to form bilayer vesicles controlled by Eu3+ in nonaqueous solution. Dynamic light scattering, transmission and scanning electron microscopy techniques, and atomic force microscopy clearly demonstrated the controllable formation of stable bilayer vesicles with an average hydrodynamic radius of about 510 nm. Because of the coordination between (TBA)3POM-PPCT and Eu3+, the stable vesicles possess fluorescence, determined by studying fluorescence spectra, and show highly selective response to Cu2+, allowing them to function as an ion-detecting platform to Cu2+.
