Abstract
Incorporating photoswitchable moieties into the molecular design of supramolecular architectures provides unique opportunities for controlling their morphology and functionality via optical stimuli. Harnessing geometrical and electrical changes in response to multiple external stimuli on the molecular level to modulate properties remains a fundamental challenge. Herein, the reversible formation of the aggregates of l-tyrosine E-azobenzene-tetracarboxamide (E-ABT) is shown to be finely controlled by light, solvent, or chemical additives. The resulting products differ not only in their overall morphology and supramolecular interactions, but also in their intrinsic chirality, that is, depending on the conditions applied, self-assembly yields chiral columns or π-stacked "achiral" oligomers. This report shows the potential of rational monomer design to achieve controlled self-assembly by stimuli of choice and paves the way toward the use of multi-responsive, sterically hindered azo-benzene aggregates in materials chemistry and nanotechnology.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded polymers are a class of highly dynamic supramolecular aggregates, whose self-assembly may be tuned by very mild external or internal stimuli. However, the rational design of chiral supramolecules remains challenging especially when flexible components are involved. The combination of the inherent weakness and dynamic nature of the intermolecular bonds that hold together such assemblies with unrestricted molecular motions introduces additional factors which may affect the self-assembly process. In this report, the self-assembly of four amino acid-derived chiral biphenyldiimides into open-chain 1D supramolecular polymers is presented. While the primary driving force, COOH···HOOC hydrogen bonding, is responsible for the polymer growth in all cases, the amino acid side chains play an important role in either stabilizing or destabilizing the assemblies obtained, as deduced from studies of the thermodynamics of the self-assembly process. Furthermore, substantial differences in the structural factors governing the polymerization process between dynamic liquid and static solid are found. This work demonstrates the potential of the rather unexplored class of diimide-based organic dyes in the formation of well-organized chiral supramolecular assemblies with tunable properties.

Abstract
Humans are undergoing a fateful transformation focusing on artificial intelligence, quantum information technology, virtual reality, etc., which is inseparable from intelligent nano-micro devices. However, the booming of "Big Data" brings about an even greater challenge by growing electromagnetic radiation. Herein, an innovative flexible multifunctional microsensor is proposed, opening up a new horizon for intelligent devices. It integrates "non-crosstalk" multiple perception and green electromagnetic interference shielding only in one pixel, with satisfactory sensitivity and fast information feedback. Importantly, beneficial by deep insight into the variable-temperature electromagnetic response, the microsensor tactfully transforms the urgent threat of electromagnetic radiation into "wealth," further integrating self-power. This result will refresh researchers' realization of next-generation devices, ushering in a new direction for aerospace engineering, remote sensing, communications, medical treatment, biomimetic robot, prosthetics, etc.

Abstract
We have engineered macroscopic 3D porous networks of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) chemically interconnected by di-thiolated ethylene glycol oligomers. The formation of such superstructures has been followed by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy by monitoring the aggregation-dependent plasmonic band of such nanomaterials. The controlled chemical tethering of the AuNPs with di-thiolated linkers possessing a well-defined contour length rules the interparticle distance. The use of ad-hoc linkers ensures charge transport via direct tunneling and the hygroscopic nature of the ethylene glycol backbone allows interaction with moisture. Upon interaction with water molecules from the atmosphere, our 3D networks undergo swelling reducing the tunnelling current passing through the system. By exploiting such a behavior, we have devised a new approach for the fabrication of electrical resistive humidity sensors. For the first time we have also introduced a new strategy to fabricate stable and robust devices by covalently attaching our 3D networks to gold electrodes. Devices comprising both 4 (TEG) or 6 (HEG) ethylene glycol repetitive units combined with AuNPs exhibited (i) unprecedentedly high response speed (∼26 ms), (ii) short recovery time (∼250 ms) in the absence of any hysteresis effect, and (iii) a linear response to humidity changes characterized by a highest sensitivity of 51 kΩ per RH(%) for HEG- and 500 Ω per RH(%) for TEG-based devices. The employed green solution processing in water and the extreme robustness of our 3D networks make them interesting candidates for the fabrication of sensors which can operate under extreme conditions and for countless cycles.

Abstract
Noncovalent self-assembly creates an effective route to highly sophisticated supramolecular polymers with tunable properties. However, the outcome of this assembly process is highly dependent on external conditions. In this work, a monomeric naphthalene diimide (NDI), designed to allow solubility in a wide range of solvents, can assemble into three distinct noncovalent supramolecular species depending on solvent composition and temperature. Namely, while the self-assembly in chlorinated solvents yields relatively short, hydrogen-bonded nanotubes, the reduction of solvent polarity changes the assembly outcome, yielding π-π stacking polymers, which can further bundle into a more complex aggregate. The obtained polymers differ not only in their global morphology but-more strikingly-also in the thermodynamics and kinetics of their supramolecular self-assembly, involving isodesmic or two-stage cooperative assembly with kinetic hysteresis, respectively. Ultimately, three distinct assembly states can be accessed in a single experiment.

Abstract
Self-assembling macrobicyclic cryptand-type organic cages display remarkable self-sorting behavior with efficient component selection.
Self-assembling macrobicyclic cryptand-type organic cages display remarkable self-sorting behavior with efficient component selection. Making use of the dynamic covalent chemistry approach, eight different cages were synthesized by condensation of tris(2-aminopropyl)amine with structurally different dialdehydes. A series of self-sorting experiments were first carried out on simple dynamic covalent libraries. They reveal the influence of different structural features of the aldehyde components on the condensation with two triamine capping units. Subsequently, self-sorting experiments were performed on more complex systems involving several dialdehyde building blocks. Altogether, the results obtained describe the effect of the presence of a heteroatom, of electrostatic interactions, of delocalization and of the flexibility/stiffness of the propensity of a component to undergo formation of a macrobicyclic cage. In the presence of a catalytic amount of acid, the macrobicyclic structure undergoes dynamic component exchange.
