Abstract
For the molecular properties in which energy transfer/migration is determinantal, such as triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon up-conversion (TTAUC), the overall performance is largely affected by the intermolecular distance and relative molecular orientations. In such scenarios, tools that may steer the intermolecular interactions and provide control over molecular organisation in the bulk, become most valuable. Often these non-covalent interactions, found predominantly in supramolecular assemblies, enable pre-programming of the molecular network in the assembled structures. In other words, by employing supramolecular chemistry principles, an arrangement where molecular units are arranged in a desired fashion, very much like a Lego toy, could be achieved. This leads to enhanced energy transfer from one molecule to other. In recent past, chiral luminescent systems have attracted huge attention for producing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). In such systems, chirality is a necessary requirement. Chirality induction/transfer through supramolecular interactions has been known for a long time. It was realized recently that it may help in the generation and amplification of CPL signals as well. In this review article we have discussed the applicability of self-/co-assembly processes for achieving maximum TTA-UC and CPL in various molecular systems.

Abstract
Recently, there has been growing concern about the discharge of water-soluble polymers (especially synthetic polymers) into the environment. Therefore, the identification of water-soluble polymers in water samples is becoming increasingly crucial. In this study, a chemical tongue system to simply and precisely identify water-soluble polymers using multiple fluorescently responsive peptide sensors was demonstrated. Fluorescence spectra obtained from the mixture of each peptide sensor and water-soluble polymer were changed depending on the combination of the polymer species and peptide sensors. Water-soluble polymers were successfully identified through the supervised or unsupervised machine learning of multidimensional fluorescence signals from the peptide sensors.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics integrates nanotechnology with various other fields, with the goal of creating functional material systems from nanoscale units such as atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials. The concept bears strong similarities to the processes and functions seen in biological systems. Therefore, it is natural for materials designed through nanoarchitectonics to truly shine in bio-related applications. In this review, we present an overview of recent work exemplifying how nanoarchitectonics relates to biology and how it is being applied in biomedical research. First, we present nanoscale interactions being studied in basic biology and how they parallel nanoarchitectonics concepts. Then, we overview the state-of-the-art in biomedical applications pursuant to the nanoarchitectonics framework. On this basis, we take a deep dive into a particular building-block material frequently seen in nanoarchitectonics approaches: fullerene. We take a closer look at recent research on fullerene nanoparticles, paying special attention to biomedical applications in biosensing, gene delivery, and radical scavenging. With these subjects, we aim to illustrate the power of nanomaterials and biomimetic nanoarchitectonics when applied to bio-related applications, and we offer some considerations for future perspectives.

Abstract
Mechanical stimuli have rather ambiguous and less-specific features among various physical stimuli, but most materials exhibit a certain level of responses upon mechanical inputs. Unexplored sciences remain in mechanical responding systems as one of the frontiers of materials science. Nanoarchitectonics approaches for mechanically responding materials are discussed as mechano-nanoarchitectonics in this review article. Recent approaches on molecular and materials systems with mechanical response capabilities are first exemplified with two viewpoints: i) mechanical control of supramolecular assemblies and materials and ii) mechanical control and evaluation of atom/molecular level structures. In the following sections, special attentions on interfacial environments for mechano-nanoarchitectonics are emphasized. The section entitled iii) Mechanical Control of Molecular System at Dynamic Interface describes coupling of macroscopic mechanical forces and molecular-level phenomena. Delicate mechanical forces can be applied to functional molecules embedded at the air-water interface where operation of molecular machines and tuning of molecular receptors upon macroscopic mechanical actions are discussed. Finally, the important role of the interfacial media are further extended to the control of living cells as described in the section entitled iv) Mechanical Control of Biosystems. Pioneering approaches on cell fate regulations at liquid-liquid interfaces are discussed in addition to well-known mechanobiology.

Abstract
Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has been widely used for various sensing applications, including chirality detection due to the high sensitivity to nanogram or picogram mass changes, fast response, real-time detection, easy operation, suitability in different media, and low experimental cost. The sensing performance of QCM is dependent on the surface design of the recognition layers. Various strategies have been employed for studying the relationship between the structural features and the specific detection of chiral isomers. This review provides an overview of the construction of chiral sensing layers by various nanostructures and materials in the QCM system, which include organic molecules, supermolecular assemblies, inorganic nanostructures, and metal surfaces. The sensing mechanisms based on these surface nanostructures and the related potentials for chiral detection by the QCM system are also summarized.

Abstract
A novel gelator molecular based on quinolone (MN) has been successfully designed and synthesized. The gelator MN could self-assemble to form a supramolecular gel (OMN), which showed obvious aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in iso-Propyl alcohol (i-PrOH). Furthermore, the supramolecular organogel OMN realized ultrasensitive detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ in aqueous medium and fluorescent quenching at 427 nm. The sensing mechanism between supramolecular gel and metal ions was fully investigated via FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD and XPS. Meanwhile, a thin film based on responsive supramolecular gel OMN was prepared, which could be used as multi-stimuli-responsive fluorescent display materials for the detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+.

Thiourea Organocatalysts as Emerging Chiral Pollutants: En Route to Porphyrin-Based (Chir)Optical Sensing. CHEMOSENSORS 2021.

Abstract
Environmental pollution with chiral organic compounds is an emerging problem requiring innovative sensing methods. Amino-functionalized thioureas, such as 2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiourea (Takemoto’s catalyst), are widely used organocatalysts with virtually unknown environmental safety data. Ecotoxicity studies based on the Vibrio fischeri luminescence inhibition test reveal significant toxicity of Takemoto’s catalyst (EC50 = 7.9 mg/L) and its NH2-substituted analog (EC50 = 7.2–7.4 mg/L). The observed toxic effect was pronounced by the influence of the trifluoromethyl moiety. En route to the porphyrin-based chemosensing of Takemoto-type thioureas, their supramolecular binding to a series of zinc porphyrins was studied with UV-Vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, computational analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The association constant values generally increased with the increasing electron-withdrawing properties of the porphyrins and electron-donating ability of the thioureas, a result of the predominant Zn⋯N cation–dipole (Lewis acid–base) interaction. The binding event induced a CD signal in the Soret band region of the porphyrin hosts—a crucial property for chirality sensing of Takemoto-type thioureas.

A dual-channel optical chemical sensing system for selective detection of nerve agent simulant DFP. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:4501-4509.

Abstract
This paper reports a novel optical chemical sensing system for selective detection of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), a simulant of fluorine-containing nerve agents (Sarin and Soman). Contrary to the reported methods involving only single sensing probe, this sensing system is comprised of two molecular sensing probes (1 and 2) having intrinsic affinities for reactive subunits of DFP (electrophilic phosphorus and fluoride ion). On exposure to DFP, two molecular probes react in tandem with electrophilic phosphorus and fluoride ion (by-product of the initial phosphorylation reaction) to induce a unique modulation in the optical properties of the sensing system which leads to selective detection of DFP in solution as interferents like phosphorus-containing compounds, acids, and anions were unable to induce similar optical modulation due to lack of both electrophilic phosphorus and fluorine in the same molecule. Calibration curve between the amount of DFP added and the absorption intensity revealed the colorimetric detection limit of the system to be 4.50 μM which was further lowered to 2.22 μM by making use of a self-immolative fluoride sensing probe 5.
