Abstract
Fullerene C60 is an all-carbon cage molecule with rich physicochemical properties. It is highly symmetric and hydrophobic, which can be used as a building block for the preparation of amphiphiles that self-assemble into diverse supramolecular structures in aqueous solutions. Meanwhile, C60 is also lipophobic, which is different from the alkyl chains in traditional surfactants. By attaching alkyl chains to the C60 sphere, a new type of lipophobic-lipophilic amphiphiles can be constructed which undergo self-assembly in n-alkanes. When inorganic clusters such as polyoxometalate are linked to the C60 sphere, organic-inorganic hybrids will be obtained which can self-assemble in polar organic solvents. Pristine C60 has also been modified by polar groups such as hydroxy and carboxy, which are linked to hydrophobic moieties and form a new class of amphiphiles. In this review, the self-assembly of C60-based amphiphiles in aqueous and nonaqueous solutions will be summarized. The characteristics exhibited by C60-based amphiphiles during the self-assembly will be discussed with close comparison to traditional surfactants, and the influences of the aggregate formation on the physicochemical properties of the C60 sphere will be described. Finally, a brief summary will be given together with a promising perspective in near future.

Abstract
Fullerene microcrystals have been well prepared by the conventional liquid-liquid interface precipitation (LLIP) method, and the crystal structures can be manipulated by solvent combination. Aromatic and alcoholic solvents are widely used as good and poor solvents, respectively, in LLIP. However, water with higher polarity has been rarely utilized as a poor solvent for the morphology engineering of fullerenes, particularly in the morphology control of fullerene derivatives. Herein, the water-regulated morphology of a fullerene derivative, namely ferrocenylpyrrolidine C60 (denoted as FC), is investigated via the LLIP method. By simply modulating the combination of a good solvent (aromatic isopropylbenzene, IPB) and the poor solvents (alcohols), three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical microspheres of FC are obtained. Surprisingly, when water is introduced as one of poor solvents in the LLIP process, one-dimensional (1D) microneedles are obtained. The presence of water controls the liquid-liquid interface, the external environment and kinetics of the crystal growth, thereby promoting the morphological evolution from 3D hierarchical microspheres to 1D microneedles. Moreover, the solvated 1D microneedles exhibit enhanced photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent responses in virtue of the highly ordered molecule arrangement and solvent (IPB) embedding in the crystal lattice. The water-regulated morphology engineering of FC provides a new strategy for the growth and morphology control of fullerene microcrystals.

Abstract
Research on the self-assembly of various amphiphilic molecules is a relatively new research area and of great significance. However, new kinds of metal-nanocluster (NC)-based amphiphilic molecule have rarely been explored. Herein, hydrophobic cation 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium (C16 mim+ ) was chosen to modify hydrophilic (NH4 )6 [Ag6 (mna)6 ] (Ag6 -NCs, H2 mna=2-mercaptonicotinic acid) and Ag6 @C16 mim-NCs were obtained. Ag6 @C16 mim-NCs displayed thermotropic liquid crystal and thermofluorescent properties. Moreover, the Ag6 @C16 mim-NCs exhibits benign amphiphilicity, and it can self-assemble into ordered nanosheets and nanorods through aggregation in water/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) binary solvent mixtures, whereas single Ag6 -NCs do not. Meanwhile, the Ag6 @C16 mim-NCs also displays aggregation-induced emission properties owing to the restriction of intramolecular vibrations of the capping ligands. Furthermore, the luminescent aggregates could detect arginine selectively with the detection limit at 28 μm. This study introduces a new kind of metal-NC-based amphiphilic molecule in a supramolecular self-assembly field, and they have potential to be used as optical materials in applied research.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid to the synthesis of low-dimensional materials from small units such as functional molecules. Bottom-up approaches to create new low-dimensional materials with various functional units can be realized with the emerging concept of nanoarchitectonics. In this review article, we overview recent research progresses on materials nanoarchitectonics at two-dimensional liquid interfaces, which are dimensionally restricted media with some freedoms of molecular motion. Specific characteristics of molecular interactions and functions at liquid interfaces are briefly explained in the first parts. The following sections overview several topics on materials nanoarchitectonics at liquid interfaces, such as the preparation of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, and the fabrication of low-dimensional and specifically structured nanocarbons and their assemblies at liquid-liquid interfaces. Finally, interfacial nanoarchitectonics of biomaterials including the regulation of orientation and differentiation of living cells are explained. In the recent examples described in this review, various materials such as molecular machines, molecular receptors, block-copolymer, DNA origami, nanocarbon, phages, and stem cells were assembled at liquid interfaces by using various useful techniques. This review overviews techniques such as conventional Langmuir-Blodgett method, vortex Langmuir-Blodgett method, liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation, instructed assembly, and layer-by-layer assembly to give low-dimensional materials including nanowires, nanowhiskers, nanosheets, cubic objects, molecular patterns, supramolecular polymers, metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks. The nanoarchitecture materials can be used for various applications such as molecular recognition, sensors, photodetectors, supercapacitors, supramolecular differentiation, enzyme reactors, cell differentiation control, and hemodialysis.

Abstract
The construction of fullerene (C60 ) hierarchical nanostructures with the help of amphiphilic molecules remains a challenging task in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Utilizing the host-guest complex concept, sub-10 nm layered superstructures are constructed from a monofunctionalized C60 dendron (C60 D, guest) and tweezer-like pyrene dendron (PD, host). Since C60 D and PD are asymmetric shape amphiphiles having liquid crystal (LC) dendrons, both C60 D and PD construct head-to-head bilayer superstructures by themselves. From fluorescence titration experiments, it is realized that the host-guest complex shows 1:1 stoichiometric binding with a binding constant (Ksv = 2.45 × 105 m-1 ). Based on the morphological observations and scattering analyses, it is found that buckle-like asymmetric building blocks (C60 D·PD) are self-assembled by the host-guest complex and construct multilayer hybrid nanostructures. The hierarchical hybrid nanostructures consist of the self-assembled C60 D·PD bilayer with a 2D C60 ·P nanoarray sandwiched between LC dendrons. This advanced strategy is expected to be a practicable and rational guideline for the fabrication of programmed hierarchical hybrid nanostructures.
