Abstract
Photonic crystal is a kind of device which can convert a chemical signal into an optical signal and is commonly used in sensing and detection. The maximum reflection wavelength representing the photonic band gap has been the most common converting mode in analytical usage which however discard too much valuable chemical information. In this work, we established two additional modes for mining chemical information more deeply in time and space as the sensing information to distinguish analytes. They are respectively based on dynamic analysis of the spectrum shift and the distinction of the RGB partition block value information of optical image. The molecular imprinting sensing mechanism worked well on three organophosphorus compounds to the detection limit of 10-4 M. The principle component analysis of above data did present a good discrimination of organophosphorus analytes from interfering counter anions to a low detection limit of 10-6 M. To make the detection more convenient and to achieve real-time on-site detection, we have designed the portable photonic crystal signal acquisition kit. Together with the mobile terminal, the kit connects the optical image collected on site, the algorithm working on the cloud and the input/output interactive interface of users in detection. The methods were constructed on an example made of a three-dimensional molecularly imprinted photonic crystal hydrogels sensing unit targeting on organo-phosphides.

Abstract
The Hofmeister effect and associated Hofmeister series (HS) are ubiquitous in physicochemical phenomena and have demonstrated fundamental importance in a myriad of fields ranging from chemistry to biology. Visualization of the HS not only helps to straightforwardly understand the underpinning mechanism, but also enables the prediction of new ion positions in the HS and directs the applications of the Hofmeister effect. Owing to the difficulties of sensing and reporting complete multiple and subtle inter- and intramolecular interactions involved in the Hofmeister effect, facile and accurate visual demonstration and prediction of the HS remain highly challenging. Herein, a poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)-based photonic array containing 6 inverse opal microspheres was rationally constructed to efficiently sense and report the ion effects of the HS. The PILs can not only directly conjugate with HS ions due to their ion-exchange properties, but also provide sufficient noncovalent binding diversity with these ions. Meanwhile, subtle PIL-ion interactions can be sensitively amplified to optical signals owing to their photonic structures. Therefore, synergistic integration of PILs and photonic structures gives rise to accurate visualization of the ion effect of the HS, as demonstrated by correctly ranking 7 common anions. More importantly, assisted by principal component analysis (PCA), the developed PIL photonic array can serve as a general platform to facilely, accurately, and robustly predict the HS positions of an unprecedented amount of important and useful anions and cations. These findings indicate that the PIL photonic platform is very promising for addressing challenges in the visual demonstration and prediction of HS and promoting a molecular-level understanding of the Hoffmeister effect.

Abstract
Drugs of abuse has drawn intense attention due to increasing concerns to public health and safety. The construction of a sensing platform with the capability to identify them remains a big challenge because of the limitations of synthetic complexity, sensing scope and receptor extendibility. Here a kind of poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) photonic crystal spheres doped with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens was developed. As diverse noncovalent interactions involve in PIL moieties, the single sphere shows different binding affinity to a broad range of psychoactive substances. Furthermore, the dual-channel signals arising from photonic crystal structures and sensitive AIE-luminogens provide high-dimensional information for discriminative detection of targets, even for molecules with slight structural differences. More importantly, such single sphere sensing platform could be flexibly customized through ion-exchange, showing great extendibility to fabricate high-efficiency/high-throughput sensing arrays without tedious synthesis.

Abstract
ConspectusDiscovering and constructing molecular functionality platforms for materials chemistry innovation has been a persistent target in the fields of chemistry, materials, and engineering. Around this task, basic scientific questions can be asked, novel functional materials can be synthesized, and efficient system functionality can be established. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have attracted growing interest far beyond polymer science and are now considered an interdisciplinary crossing point between multiple research areas due to their designable chemical structure, intriguing physicochemical properties, and broad and diverse applications. Recently, we discovered that 1,2,4-triazolium-type PILs show enhanced performance profiles, which are due to stronger and more abundant supramolecular interactions ranging from hydrogen bonding to metal coordination, when compared with structurally similar imidazolium counterparts. This phenomenon in our view can be related to the smart hydrogen atoms (SHAs), that is, any proton that binds to the carbon in the N-heterocyclic cations of 1,2,4-triazolium-type PILs. The replacement of one carbon by an electron-withdrawing nitrogen atom in the broadly studied heterocyclic imidazolium ring will further polarize the C-H bond (especially for C5-H) of the resultant 1,2,4-triazolium cation and establish new chemical tools for materials design. For instance, the H-bond-donating strength of the SHA, as well as its Bro̷nsted acidity, is increased. Furthermore, polycarbene complexes can be readily formed even in the presence of weak or medium bases, which is by contrast rather challenging for imidazolium-type PILs. The combination of SHAs with the intrinsic features of heterocyclic cation-functionalized PILs (e.g., N-coordination capability and polymeric multibinding effects) enables new phenomena and therefore innovative materials applications.In this Account, recent progress on SHAs is presented. SHA-related applications in several research branches are highlighted together with the corresponding materials design at size scales ranging from nano- to micro- and macroscopic levels. At a nanoscopic level, it is possible to manipulate the interior and outer shapes and surface properties of PIL nanocolloids by adjusting the hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) between SHAs and water. Owing to the interplay of polycarbene structure, N-coordination, and the polymer multidentate binding of 1,2,4-triazolium-type PILs, metal clusters with controllable size at sub-nanometer scale were successfully synthesized and stabilized, which exhibited record-high catalytic performance in H2 generation via methanolysis of ammonia borane. At the microscopic level, SHAs are found to efficiently catalyze single crystal formation of structurally complex organics. Free protons in situ released from the SHAs serve as organocatalysts to activate formation of C-N bonds at room temperature in a series of imine-linked crystalline porous organics, such as organic cages, macrocycles and covalent organic frameworks; meanwhile the concurrent "salting-out" effect of PILs as polymers in solution accelerated the crystallization rate of product molecules by at least 1 order of magnitude. At the macroscopic scale, by finely regulating the supramolecular interactions of SHAs, a series of functional supramolecular porous polyelectrolyte membranes (SPPMs) with switchable pores and gradient cross-sectional structures were manufactured. These membranes demonstrate impressive figures of merit, ranging from chiral separation and proton recognition to switchable optical properties and real-time chemical reaction monitoring. Although the concept of SHAs is in the incipient stage of development, our successful examples of applications portend bright prospects for materials chemistry innovation.

Abstract
Quantitative identification of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with the same disease provides a strong guarantee of the accurate analysis of the disease. Designing a single luminescent material to interact differently with multiple analytes can generate response patterns with remarkable diversity. Here, a highly green luminescent imine-based 2D COF (TtDFP) is designed and synthesized. TtDFP has ultrasensitive detection performance for trace water in organic solvent. Constructing a ratiometric fluorescence sensor can improve sensitivity for detecting analytes. To contrast the fluorescence signals of Eu3+ and COFs in sensing assays, a simple postsynthetic modification (PSM) method is used to introduce Eu3+ into TtDFP. The obtained red luminescent hybrid material Eu3+@TtDFP EVA film can be a fluorescent nose capable of "sniffing out" and quantifying VOCs (GA and PhA) associated with Huanglongbing (HLB, a devastating disease of citrus) at ppb levels. This work provides a technique of developing functionalized COF hybrid material to facilitate the distinction of various VOCs, which can also be extended to monitor the levels of other VOCs relevant to human health.

Abstract
Solvent-free supersoft elastomer is highly desirable for building photonic structures with significant stimuli-responsive color changes. We report supersoft elastic porous microspheres with vivid structural colors obtained via self-assembly of amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymers at the water/oil interface templated by ordered water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions. The porous structure is composed of cross-linked bottlebrush polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the supersoft elastic skeleton and bottlebrush poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the internal responsive layer. The obtained microspheres show large reversible volume changes through well-controlled dehydration or hydration of PEO in response to salt ions in an aqueous environment. As a result, full-spectrum colors are obtained dependent on different salt concentrations. In-situ observation of color reflection of a microsphere indicates a gradual structural transition from the outside to the inside corresponding to migration of water molecules and salt ions. Moreover, rod-like bottlebrush PEO exhibits an anion-induced salting-out behavior different from that of random coil polymers. The significantly responsive behaviors of bottlebrush block copolymer (BBCP) assemblies in the presence of salt ions primarily rely on the supersoft elastic skeleton of the porous structure, providing a facile route to the creation of stimuli-responsive photonic materials by low-cost self-assembly methods.

Abstract
Ultratrace quantitative detection based on fluorescence is highly desirable for many important applications such as environmental monitoring or disease diagnosis, which however has remained a great challenge because of limited and irregular fluorescence responses to analytes at ultralow concentrations. Herein the problem is circumvented via local enrichment and detection of analytes within a microsensor, that is, photonic porous microspheres grafted with aggregation-induced emission gens (AIEgens). The obtained microspheres exhibit dual structural and molecular functions, namely, bright structural colors and strong fluorescence. Large fluorescence quenching induced by nitrophenol compounds in an aqueous environment is observed at ultralow concentrations (10-12-10-8 mol/L), enabling quantitative detection at a ppb level (ng/L). This is achieved within a porous structure with good connectivity between the nanopores to improve analyte diffusion, an internal layer of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) for analyte enrichment via hydrogen bonding, and homogeneous distribution of AIEgens within the PEO layer for enhanced fluorescence quenching. The fluorescent porous microspheres can be readily obtained in a single step templated by well-ordered water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion droplets with AIE amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymers as the effective stabilizer.

Abstract
Micellar and vesicular structures capable of sensing and reporting the chemical environment as well as facilely introducing user-defined functions make a vital contribution to constructing versatile compartmentalized systems. Herein, by combining poly(ionic liquid)-based photonic spheres and an etching-ion exchange strategy we fabricate micellar and vesicular photonic compartments that can not only mimic the structure and function of conventional micelles and vesicles, but also sense and report the chemical environment as well as introducing user-defined functions. Photonic composite spheres composed of a SiO2 template and poly(ionic liquid) are employed to selectively etch outer-shell SiO2 followed by ion exchange and removal of the residual SiO2 to afford micellar photonic compartments (MPCs). The MPCs can selectively absorb solvents from the oil/water mixtures together with sensing and reporting the adsorbed solvents by the self-reporting optical signal associated with the uniform porous structure of photonic spheres. Vesicular photonic compartments (VPCs) are fabricated via selective infiltration and polymerization of ionic liquids followed by etching of the SiO2 template. Subsequent ion exchange introduces desirable functions to the VPCs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the thickness and the anisotropic functions of VPCs can be facilely modulated. Overall, we anticipate that the micellar and vesicular photonic compartments with self-reporting optical signals and user-defined functions could serve as novel platforms towards multifunctional compartmentalized systems.

Abstract
A N-doped hollow copolymer tube (NHCT) was fabricated via template-free one-pot asynchronous polymerization strategy. Discrepancies of monomer polymerization speed and their hydrophilic-hydrophobic interaction resulted in the assembly of a hollow tube having inner diameter and double wall thickness of ∼230 and 40 nm, respectively. The formation and growth mechanism of NHCT analyzed via advanced characterization revealed that the unique growth processes tuned a demarcating surface layer between inner (hydrophilic) and outer (hydrophobic) layers. The screening and recognition ability of NHCT were determined for two specific dipeptides (WW and RR) possessing great discrepancies in hydrophilicity and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory (ACE-I) activity. NHCT realized high adsorption capacity (1.57 mmol/g) and selectivity (∼1274) for hydrophilic dipeptide RR (low ACE-I activity) from the mixture of RR/WW. As a result, ACE-I activity for residual solution were enhanced about 4.1 times as compared to original solution from natural silkworm pupae protein hydrolysate. Awarding to these results and its facile and discerning ability, NHCT can be envisioned to be of great value for the separation of small functional peptides from a natural edible source.

Abstract
The three most important redox couples, including cysteine (Cys)/cystine (Cyss), homocysteine (Hcys)/homocystine (Hcyss), and reduced glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG), are closely associated with human aging and many diseases. Thus, it is highly important to determine their redox statuses at the following two levels: (i) the redox identity in different thiols/disulfides and (ii) the redox ratio in a mixture of a specific couple. Herein, by using one single AIE-doped (AIE, aggregation-induced emission) photonic-structured poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) sphere as a virtual sensor array, we realize a direct determination of the redox status without a reducing pretreatment of disulfides, which will greatly promote the development of high-throughput and simple procedures. The pattern-recognition method uses the multiple noncovalent interactions of imidazolium-based PILs with these redox species to produce differential responses in both the photonic crystal and fluorescence dual channels. On the one hand, a single sphere enables the direct and simultaneous discrimination of the redox identities of Cys, Cyss, Hcys, Hcyss, GSH, and GSSG under the interference of other five commonly occurring thiols. On the other hand, this sphere also allows for not only a direct quantification of the GSH/GSSG ratios without previously determining the individual concentrations of GSH and GSSG but also the accurate prediction of the ratios in unknown redox samples. To further demonstrate applications of this method, redox mixtures in a biological sample are differentiated. Additionally, quantum calculations further support our assignments for interactions between the imidazolium-based PILs and these redox species.
