Abstract
The ability to integrate the elements of a multicomponent nanostructure with nanoscale precision by co-assembly provides a versatile strategy to create novel materials with tunable properties. The search for function in these materials will require new strategies to be developed that control the assembly process, especially for structurally dissimilar components, which often have a propensity to self-sort into non-integrated nanostructures. In this work, two components, a peptide (1) and an amphiphile (2), were integratively co-assembled into a multicomponent nanotube. The interaction between the two components at the supramolecular level was driven by the electrostatic complementarity of the components, which was controlled by the pH-dependent charge of 1. Characterization of the co-assembled nanotube, 1-2NT, was achieved using a combination of TEM, AFM, CLSM and SIM techniques, which showed that both components were colocalized within the nanotube. These studies, in conjunction with CD, IR and fluorescence studies, suggested that 1 and 2 were arranged in partially reorganized, self-sorted domains, which were integrated as laminated nanoribbons that coiled together into the final co-assembled nanotube.

Mesoporous carbon decorated with MIL-100(Fe) as an electrochemical platform for ultrasensitive determination of trace cadmium and lead ions in surface water. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 243:113987.

Abstract
In this work, MIL-100(Fe)-decorated mesoporous carbon powders (MC@MIL-100(Fe)) were prepared by in situ growth of MIL-100(Fe) on the surface of ZIF-8 framework-based mesoporous carbons (MC). The hybrid material was characterized using SEM equipped with EDS mapping for morphology investigation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for chemical valence analysis, and X-ray diffraction for crystal structure determination. The developed sensor separated from the traditional bismuth film decoration, and simultaneously, MC@MIL-100(Fe) was applied for the first time to electrochemically detect trace amounts of Pb(II) and Cd(II). The fabricated MC@MIL-100(Fe)-based electrochemical sensor showed excellent response to the target analytes at -0.55 and - 0.75 V for lead and cadmium ions, respectively. By adjusting some measurement parameters, that is, the loading concentration of MC@MIL-100(Fe), acidity of the HAc-NaAc buffer (ABS), deposition potential, and deposition time, the analytical performance of the proposed electrochemical sensor was examined by exploring the calibration curve, repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and anti-interference under optimized conditions. The response current of the proposed MC@MIL-100(Fe) electrochemical sensor showed a well-defined linear relationship in the concentration ranges of 2-250 and 2-270 μg·L-1 for Cd(II) and Pb(II), respectively. In addition, the detection limits of the sensor for Cd(II) and Pb(II) were 0.18 and 0.15 μg L-1, respectively, which are well below the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guideline value. The MC@MIL-100(Fe) can be potentially used as an electrochemical platform for monitoring heavy metals in surface water, with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Peptides and pseudopeptides show distinct self-assembled nanostructures such as fibers, nanotubes, vesicles, micelles, toroids, helices and rods. The formation of such molecular communities through the collective behavior of molecules is not fully understood at a molecular level. All these self-assembled nanostructured materials have a wide range of applications such as drug delivery, gene delivery, biosensing, bioimaging, catalysis, tissue engineering, nano-electronics and sensing. Self-assembly is one of the most efficient and a simple strategy to generate complex functional materials. Owing to its significance, the last few decades witnessed a remarkable advancement in the field of self-assembling peptides with a plethora of new designer synthetic systems being discovered. These systems range from amphiphilic, cyclic, linear and polymeric peptides. This article presents only selected examples of such self-assembling peptides and pseudopeptides.

Abstract
Strategies to create organized multicomponent nanostructures composed of discrete, self-sorted domains are important for developing materials that mimic the complexity and multifunctionality found in biological systems. These structures can be challenging to achieve due to the required balance of molecular self-recognition and supramolecular attraction needed between the components. Herein, we report a strategy to construct a two-component nanostructure via a hierarchical assembly process whereby two monomeric building blocks undergo self-sorting assembly at the molecular level followed by a supramolecular association to form a nanofiber-wrapped nanotube. The two molecules self-sorted into respective nanofiber and nanotube assemblies, yet assembly of the nanofibers in the presence of the nanotube template allowed for directed integration into a hierarchical multilayer structure via electrostatic interactions. The fiber-wrapped nanotube co-assembly was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the components. Strategies to co-assemble multicomponent nanostructures composed of discrete, spatially sorted domains with controllable higher level interactions will be critical for the development of novel, functionally competent nanomaterials.

Abstract
Self-assembly offers unique possibilities for fabricating nanostructures, with different morphologies and properties, typically from vapour or liquid phase precursors. Molecular units, nanoparticles, biological molecules and other discrete elements can spontaneously organise or form via interactions at the nanoscale. Currently, nanoscale self-assembly finds applications in a wide variety of areas including carbon nanomaterials and semiconductor nanowires, semiconductor heterojunctions and superlattices, the deposition of quantum dots, drug delivery, such as mRNA-based vaccines, and modern integrated circuits and nanoelectronics, to name a few. Recent advancements in drug delivery, silicon nanoelectronics, lasers and nanotechnology in general, owing to nanoscale self-assembly, coupled with its versatility, simplicity and scalability, have highlighted its importance and potential for fabricating more complex nanostructures with advanced functionalities in the future. This review aims to provide readers with concise information about the basic concepts of nanoscale self-assembly, its applications to date, and future outlook. First, an overview of various self-assembly techniques such as vapour deposition, colloidal growth, molecular self-assembly and directed self-assembly/hybrid approaches are discussed. Applications in diverse fields involving specific examples of nanoscale self-assembly then highlight the state of the art and finally, the future outlook for nanoscale self-assembly and potential for more complex nanomaterial assemblies in the future as technological functionality increases.

Abstract
In this work, the effect of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as the mixtures of metallic and semiconducting tubes (M + S-SWNTs) as well as highly separated semiconducting (S-SWNTs) and metallic (M-SWNTs) tubes on the photoluminescence (PL) of poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) was reported. Two methods were used to prepare such composites, that is, the chemical interaction of the two constituents and the electrochemical polymerization of the 3-hexyl thiophene onto the rough Au supports modified with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The measurements of the anisotropic PL of these composites have highlighted a significant diminution of the angle of the binding of the P3HT films electrochemical synthetized onto Au electrodes covered with M + S-SWNTs. This change was attributed to metallic tubes, as was demonstrated using the anisotropic PL measurements carried out on the P3HT/M-SWNTs and P3HT/S-SWNTs composites. Small variations in the angle of the binding were reported in the case of the composites prepared by chemical interaction of the two constituents. The proposed mechanism to explain this behavior took into account the functionalization process of CNTs with P3HT. The experimental arguments of the functionalization process of CNTs with P3HT were shown by the UV-VIS-NIR and FTIR spectroscopy as well as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). A PL quenching process of P3HT induced both in the presence of S-SWNTs and M-SWNTs was reported, too. This process origins in the various de-excitation pathways which can be developed considering the energy levels diagram of the two constituents of each studied composite.

Abstract
The formation of discrete macrocycles wrapped around single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has recently emerged as an appealing strategy to functionalize these carbon nanomaterials and modify their properties. Here, we demonstrate that the reversible disulfide exchange reaction, which proceeds under mild conditions, can install relatively large amounts of mechanically interlocked disulfide macrocycles on the one-dimensional nanotubes. Size-selective functionalization of a mixture of SWCNTs of different diameters were observed, presumably arising from error correction and the presence of relatively rigid, curved π-systems in the key building blocks. A combination of UV/Vis/NIR, Raman, photoluminescence excitation, and transient absorption spectroscopy indicated that the small (6,4)-SWCNTs were predominantly functionalized by the small macrocycles 12 , whereas the larger (6,5)-SWCNTs were an ideal match for the larger macrocycles 22 . This size selectivity, which was rationalized computationally, could prove useful for the purification of nanotube mixtures, since the disulfide macrocycles can be removed quantitatively under mild reductive conditions.

Abstract
Naphthalenediimides (NDIs) are privileged scaffolds par excellence, of use in functional systems from catalysts to ion channels, photosystems, sensors, ordered matter in all forms, tubes, knots, stacks, sheets, vesicles, and colored over the full visible range. Despite this extensively explored chemical space, there is still room to discover core-substituted NDIs with fundamentally new properties: NDIs with cyclic trisulfides (i.e., trisulfanes) in their core absorb at 668 nm, emit at 801 nm, and contract into disulfides (i.e., dithietes) upon irradiation at <475 nm. Intramolecular 1,5-chalcogen bonds account for record redshifts with trisulfides, ring-tension mediated chalcogen-bond-mediated cleavage for blueshifts to 492 nm upon ring contraction. Cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs) in the NDI core open faster than strained dithiolanes as in asparagusic acid and are much better retained on thiol exchange affinity columns. This makes COC-NDIs attractive not only within the existing multifunctionality, particularly artificial photosystems, but also for thiol-mediated cellular uptake.

Abstract
The susceptibility of self-assembled materials to changes of environmental conditions and mechanical forces often limits their utility for many applications. In this work, the surface of nanofibers formed by β-sheet peptide self-assemblies were coated by polydopamine (PDA) deposition. This conformal coating process rendered the nanofiber dimensions and internal π-stacking chirality impervious to changes in pH, temperature, and physical processing by spin-coating onto a silicon wafer. Whereas sonication-induced shearing of the dopamine/naphthalenediimide-dilysine (DA/NDI-KK) composite irreversibly shortened the nanofibers into 100-200 nm segments, the uncoated nanofibers unraveled into single strands upon similar treatment. Additionally, the PDA-coated nanofibers could be wrapped by an additional layer comprised of a positively charged polyelectrolyte polymer.
