Abstract
Spontaneous formation of a supramolecular metal-organic hydrogel using unsubstituted guanosine as a ligand and Zn2+ ions is reported. Guanosine, in the presence of NaOH, self-assembled into a stable G-quadruplex structure, which underwent crosslinking through Zn2+ ions to afford a stable hydrogel. The gel has been characterized using several spectroscopic as well as microscopic studies. The hydrogel demonstrated excellent stimuli responsiveness towards various chemicals and pH. Furthermore, the gel exhibited intrinsic thixotropic behavior and showed self-healing and injectable properties. The optical properties of the Zn-guanosine metallo-hydrogel suggested a semiconducting nature of the gel, which has been exploited for fabricating a thin film device based on a Schottky diode interface between metal and a semiconductor. The fabricated device shows excellent charge transport characteristics and linear rectifying behavior. The findings are likely to pave the way for newer research in the area of soft electronic devices fabricated using materials synthesized by employing simple biomolecules.

Abstract
In the design of effective gelators with aggregation-induced emission behavior, amide and cholesterol moieties are generally used to provide multiple driving forces for gelation. In this work, a series of linear cyanostilbene gelators with a pyridine moiety and different lengths of the alkoxyl group, i.e., CSpy-Cn, have been synthesized through nucleophilic substitution and Knoevenagel reaction. The direct connection of pyridine extends the conjugation of the cyanostilbene moiety, while the alkoxyl group can regulate the solubility of the compounds so that the compounds can serve as gelators for common solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethanol at ultra-low concentrations. At the same time, the cyanostilbene group makes the compounds undergo photoisomerization and emit fluorescence under UV light, while the pyridine group can serve as an acid-base responsive group due to easy protonation. The gels can respond to temperature, light, and organic acid/base. The fluorescence intensity and color can reversibly change during the gel-sol transitions. Finally, a thin film based on the CSpy-C8 xerogel has been prepared and utilized as a multi-stimuli-responsive fluorescence display for information storage and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Supramolecular materials, which rely on dynamic non-covalent interactions, present a promising approach to advance the capabilities of currently available biosensors. The weak interactions between supramolecular monomers allow for adaptivity and responsiveness of supramolecular or self-assembling systems to external stimuli. In many cases, these characteristics improve the performance of recognition units, reporters, or signal transducers of biosensors. The facile methods for preparing supramolecular materials also allow for straightforward ways to combine them with other functional materials and create multicomponent sensors. To date, biosensors with supramolecular components are capable of not only detecting target analytes based on known ligand affinity or specific host-guest interactions, but can also be used for more complex structural detection such as chiral sensing. In this Review, we discuss the advancements in the area of biosensors, with a particular highlight on the designs of supramolecular materials employed in analytical applications over the years. We will first describe how different types of supramolecular components are currently used as recognition or reporter units for biosensors. The working mechanisms of detection and signal transduction by supramolecular systems will be presented, as well as the important hierarchical characteristics from the monomers to assemblies that contribute to selectivity and sensitivity. We will then examine how supramolecular materials are currently integrated in different types of biosensing platforms. Emerging trends and perspectives will be outlined, specifically for exploring new design and platforms that may bring supramolecular sensors a step closer towards practical use for multiplexed or differential sensing, higher throughput operations, real-time monitoring, reporting of biological function, as well as for environmental studies.

Abstract
Chromophores that exhibit aggregation-induced emission (i.e., aggregation-induced emission luminogens [AIEgens]) emit intense fluorescence in their aggregated states, but show negligible emission as discrete molecular species in solution due to the changes in restriction and freedom of intramolecular motions. As solvent-swollen quasi-solids with both a compact phase and a free space, gels enable manipulation of intramolecular motions. Thus, AIE-active gels have attracted significant interest owing to their various distinctive properties and promising application potential. Herein, a comprehensive overview of AIE-active gels is provided. The fabrication strategies employed are detailed, and the applications of AIEgens are summarized. In addition, the gel functions arising from the AIE moieties are revealed, along with their structure-property relationships. Furthermore, the applications of AIE-active gels in diverse areas are illustrated. Finally, ongoing challenges and potential means to address them are discussed, along with future perspectives on AIE-active gels, with the overall aim of inspiring research on novel materials and ideas.

Abstract
A new arylene ethynylene macrocycle (AEM) molecule bearing endo-acetamide groups was obtained by a Pd/Cu mediated homo-coupling reaction. Introducing tetraethylene glycol ether as a linkage between two C-shaped fragments substantially improved the final cyclization yield (30%). Concentration-dependent 1HNMR experiments indicated that strong aggregates formed through H-bonds were observed for this new macrocycle with amide groups in solution. And also, this macrocycle was fluorescent in solution and showed a highly selective fluorescence quenching response toward the highly toxic Hg2+. More importantly, this macrocycle could induce gelation of several solvents. Significantly, an interesting aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) behavior was observed for this macrocycle upon gelation. Both SEM and TEM investigations revealed that nanoporous structures existed in the xerogels. This study offers a new molecular design approach to develop fluorescent gels from planar AEM molecules with a functional cavity.
